To defy the authority of empirical evidence is to disqualify oneself as someone worthy of critical engagement in a dialogue.
Dalai Lama
Image
It is important to reflect on the kindness of others. Every aspect of our present well-being is due to others' hard work. The buildings we live and work in, the roads we travel, the clothes we wear, and the food we eat, are all provided by others. None of them would exist but for the kindness of so many people unknown to us.
Dalai Lama
Image
Generally speaking, if a human being never shows anger, then I think something's wrong. He's not right in the brain.
Dalai Lama
Image
I believe that the basic nature of human beings is gentle and compassionate. It is therefore in our own interest to encourage that nature, to make it live within us, to leave room for it to develop. If on the contrary we use violence, it is as if we voluntarily obstruct the positive side of human nature and prevent its evolution.
Dalai Lama
Image
If you resort to violent methods because the other side has destroyed your monastery, for example, you then have lost not only your monastery, but also your special Buddhist practices of detachment, love, and compassion.

Religious belief is not a precondition either of ethical conduct or of happiness.

The question of world peace, the question of family peace, the question of peace between wife and husband, or peace between parents and children, everything is dependent on that feeling of love and warmheartedness.
Dalai Lama
Image
Anger is the real destroyer of our good human qualities an enemy with a weapon cannot destroy these qualities, but anger can. Anger is our real enemy.
Dalai Lama
Image
It is a question of our own peace and mental stability.
Dalai Lama
Image
Continue this practice no matter what happens or what anyone does to you.
Dalai Lama
Image
Live a good, honourable life. Then when you get older and look back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time.
Dalai Lama
Image
In some cases, lack of full knowledge or holistic view, that is also part of the problem. But mainly lack of moral principle. So long you have this genuine sort of concern, well being of other. That's the foundation of moral principle.
Dalai Lama
Image
Media people should have long noses like an elephant to smell out politicians, mayors, prime ministers and businessmen. We need to know the reality, the good and the bad, not just the appearance.
Dalai Lama
Image
Overcoming negative tendencies and enhancing positive potential are the very essence of the spiritual path.
Dalai Lama
Image
When you talk you are only repeating something you already know. But, if you listen you may learn something new.
Dalai Lama
Image
If the work is worthwhile, then whether we can complete it or not, it's worth making the attempt. That's why courage is important.
