More quotes by Dalai Lama
I am simply just one monk. That's all.
Dalai Lama
I always tell people that religious institutions and political institutions should be separate. So while I'm telling people this, I myself continue with them combined. Hypocrisy!
Dalai Lama
Every religion emphasizes human improvement, love, respect for others, sharing other people's suffering. On these lines every religion had more or less the same viewpoint and the same goal.
Dalai Lama
When you are discontent, you always want more, more, more. Your desire can never be satisfied. But when you practice contentment, you can say to yourself, 'Oh yes - I already have everything that I really need.'
Dalai Lama
To the extent that our experience of suffering reminds us of what everyone else also endures, it serves as a powerful inspiration to practice compassion and avoid causing others pain. And to the extent that suffering awakens our empathy and causes us to connect with others, it serves as the basis of compassion and love.
Dalai Lama
It does not matter whether you are a theist or atheist, what matters is sincerity, forgiveness, and compassion.
Dalai Lama
When you lose, don't lose the lesson.
Dalai Lama
On those days when I can spend a few hours getting some understanding, I feel fulfilled. I feel as if I have made good use of my time.
Dalai Lama
It is important not to allow ourselves to be put off by the magnitude of others' suffering. The misery of millions is not a cause for pity. Rather it is a cause for compassion.
Dalai Lama
I call the light and high aspects of my being spirit and the dark and heavy aspects soul.
Dalai Lama
Whether you believe in God or not does not matter much, whether you believe in Buddha or not does not matter so much as a Buddhist, whether you believe in reincarnation or not does not matter so much. You must lead a good life.
Dalai Lama
God exists or God does not exist. Leave it for us. Your task is to learn how to live peacefully.
Dalai Lama
People think of animals as if they were vegetables, and that is not right. We have to change the way people think about animals. I encourage the Tibetan people and all people to move toward a vegetarian diet that doesn’t cause suffering.
Dalai Lama
My religion is kindness. A good mind, a good heart, warm feelings these are the most important things.
Dalai Lama
You must not procrastinate. Rather, you should make preparations so that even if you did die tonight, you would have no regrets. If you develop an appreciation for the uncertainty and imminence of death, your sense of the importance of using your time wisely will get stronger and stronger.
Dalai Lama
For a practitioner of love and compassion, an enemy is one of the most important teachers. Without an enemy you cannot practice tolerance, and without tolerance you cannot build a sound basis of compassion.
Dalai Lama
I would like to explain the meaning of compassion, which is often misunderstood. Genuine compassion is based not on our own projections and expectations, but rather on the rights of the other: irrespective of whether another person is a close friend
Dalai Lama
Brute force, no matter how strongly applied, can never subdue the basic human desire for freedom.
Dalai Lama
In order to be happy we must first possess inner contentment and inner contentment doesn't come from having all we want but rather from wanting and appreciating being grateful for all we have.
Dalai Lama
Spiritual practice . . . involves, on the one hand, acting out of concern for others' well-being. On the other, it entails transforming ourselves so that we become more readily disposed to do so.
