More quotes by Dalai Lama
Consider that not only do negative thoughts and emotions destroy our experience of peace, they also undermine our health.
Dalai Lama
We live within the environment. So that directly relates with our survival, our life. So through that way, more concern of well being of humanity, then naturally concerned about environment.
Dalai Lama
Provided that societies stay mindful of the challenges that capitalism creates and never forget the paramount importance of inclusion and equal opportunity, we can and should celebrate the miracle of free enterprise-and the billions of souls it has helped free from desperate poverty.
Dalai Lama
In order to develop the willpower it takes to sacrifice, you must first realize that spending all your time and energy pursuing material comforts means you will eventually suffer. It's all about positive and negative consequences. It's very important to be aware that there are long-term consequences [for every action].
Dalai Lama
I am not promoting Buddhism. I am promoting human values.
Dalai Lama
Home is where you feel at home and are treated well.
Dalai Lama
Better grounded emotionally through patience, we become stronger mentally and spiritually, and tend to be healthier physically.
Dalai Lama
The right way to deal with mental unhappiness must be within the mind too. On an emotional level, anger, fear and worry bring unhappiness. Scientists say they eat into our immune system. On the other hand, we are also equipped with a sense of affection and compassionate concern for the well-being of others.
Dalai Lama
Without your own effort it is impossible for blessings to come.
Dalai Lama
Harmony can not thrive in a climate of mistrust, cheating, bullying mean-spirited competition.
Dalai Lama
In most cases, my visits to the West are for promotion of human values and religious harmony.
Dalai Lama
Just as you have the instinctive natural desire to be happy and overcome suffering, so do all sentient beings just as you have the right to fulfill this innate aspiration, so do all sentient beings. So on what exact grounds do you discriminate?
Dalai Lama
I feel that a genuine, affectionate smile is very important in our day-to-day lives. How one creates that smile largely depends on one's own attitude. It is illogical to expect smiles from others if one does not smile oneself. Therefore, one can see that many things depend on one's own behaviour.
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
I try to treat whoever I meet as an old friend. This gives me a genuine feeling of happiness. It is the practice of compassion.
Dalai Lama
In daily practice, reflect on the benefits of love, compassion and kindness, then reflect on the disadvantages of anger. Such continuous contemplation, the growing appreciation of love, has the effect of reducing our inclination towards hatred and increasing our respect for love. By this means even anger can be diminished.
Dalai Lama
The feeling of being happy or unhappy rarely depends on our absolute state, but on our perception of the situation, on our capacity to be satisfied with what we have.
Dalai Lama
If I had not been a monk, I would have become an engineer.
Dalai Lama
I consider others as just brothers and sisters. Nothing barrier.
Dalai Lama
Each individual has a universal responsibility to shape institutions to serve human needs.
