Where ignorance is our master, there is no possibility of real peace.
Dalai Lama
Try to improve. Don't expect too much, but don't feel discouraged either keep up your enthusiasm you will make progress.
Dalai Lama
I can do what my energy, my time, to my other sort of commitment. And then also emotional, religious harmony. So in these two field, now that more or less I think the spirituality or human values in these fields, I may consider my only professional field. The political, national struggle, these are not my profession.
Dalai Lama
Had Tibet not fallen away from dharma China could not have invaded.
Dalai Lama
The ultimate way to solve human problems is with nonviolence.
Dalai Lama
When ever Buddhism has taken root in a new land, there has been a certain variation in the style in which it is observed. The Buddha himself taught differently according to the place, the occasion and the situation of those who were listening to him.
Dalai Lama
An enemy is indeed a precious teacher.
Dalai Lama
If a person's basic state of mind is serene and calm, then it is possible for this inner peace to overwhelm a painful physical experience.
Dalai Lama
No single Tibetan dreaming return of previous sort of backwardness, therefore as far as economy development is concerned, Tibet remain within the People's Republic of China, we will get greater benefit.
Dalai Lama
If there is love, there is hope that one may have real families, real brotherhood, real equanimity, real peace. If the love within your mind is lost and you see other beings as enemies, then no matter how much knowledge or education or material comfort you have, only suffering and confusion will ensue.
Dalai Lama
Whether or not we follow any particular spiritual tradition, the benefits of love and kindness are obvious to anyone.
Dalai Lama
The period of greatest gain in knowledge and experience is the most difficult period in one's life.
Dalai Lama
I believe compassion to be one of the few things we can practice that will bring immediate and long-term happiness to our lives. I'm not talking about the short-term gratification of pleasures like sex, drugs or gambling (though I'm not knocking them), but something that will bring true and lasting happiness. The kind that sticks.
Dalai Lama
If a problem is fixable, if a situation is such that you can do something about it, then there is no need to worry. If it's not fixable, then there is no help in worrying. There is no benefit in worrying whatsoever.
Dalai Lama
War is out of date, obsolete.
Dalai Lama
Once we have a firm practice of compassion our state of mind becomes stronger which leads to inner peace, giving rise to self-confidence, which reduces fear. This makes for constructive members of the community. Self-centredness on the other hand leads to distance, suspicion, mistrust and loneliness, with unhappiness as the result.
Dalai Lama
It is... very helpful to think of adversity not so much as a threat to our peace of mind but rather as the very means by which patience is attained.
Dalai Lama
Genuine happiness consists in those spiritual qualities of love, compassion, patience, tolerance and forgiveness and so on. For it is these which provide both for our happiness and others happiness.
Dalai Lama
If your life becomes only a medium of production, then many of the good human values and characteristics will be lost.
Dalai Lama
The way to develop inner peace through meditation begins with the recognition that the destroyer of inner peace is not some external foe, but is within us. Therefore, the solution is within us too. However, that inner change does not take place immediately in the way that we switch on a light, but takes weeks, months and years.
