More quotes by Dalai Lama
As far as ignorance is concerned, not just Buddhism, every religion recognizes it as the source of suffering.
Dalai Lama
The proper use of our intelligence and knowledge is to effect changes from within to develop a good heart.
Dalai Lama
We have to make a sustained effort, again and again, to cultivate the positive aspects within us.
Dalai Lama
Refraining from harm, not out of fear, but out of concern for others, their well-being and out of respect is non-violence.
Dalai Lama
Laughing in full abandonment is very good for your health.
Dalai Lama
As long as I am alive, I am fully committed to amity between Tibetans and Chinese. Otherwise there's no use.
Dalai Lama
I myself feel, and also tell other Buddhists that the question of Nirvana will come later. There is not much hurry. If in day to day life you lead a good life, honesty, with love, with compassion, with less selfishness, then automatically it will lead to Nirvana.
Dalai Lama
Basically, the Buddhist attitude is that you should not accept certain things through sheer faith. And for that you need a skeptical attitude. Buddha himself made this clear to his followers. He said you should not accept those things I taught out of respect for me, but rather through investigation by yourself.
Dalai Lama
Forgiveness doesn't mean forget what happened. If something is serious and it is necessary to take counter-measures, you have to take counter-measures.
Dalai Lama
Despite all philosophical differences, all major world religions have the same potential to create good human beings.
Dalai Lama
The point of life is happiness.
Dalai Lama
Real love is not based on attachment, but on altruism. In this case, your compassion will remain as a humane response to suffering as long as beings continue to suffer.
Dalai Lama
Whenever there is a challenge, there is also an opportunity to face it, to demonstrate and develop our will and determination.
Dalai Lama
I think there's every reason this 21st century will be much happier.
Dalai Lama
One can be deceived by three types of laziness: of indolence, which is the wish to procrastinate the laziness of inferiority, which is doubting your capabilities and the laziness that is attachment to negative actions, or putting great effort into non-virtue.
Dalai Lama
Sin contains its own judgement and punishment.
Dalai Lama
Because we all share an identical need for love, it is possible to feel that anybody we meet, in whatever circumstances, is a brother or sister.
Dalai Lama
Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.
Dalai Lama
In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don't bring up the past.
Dalai Lama
There is competition, but it is used in a good way. It is positive to want to go first, provided the intention is to pave the way for others, make their path more easy, help them, or show the way. Competition is negative when we wish to defeat others, to bring them down in order to lift ourselves up.
