The best way to resolve any problem in the human world is for all sides to sit down and talk.
Dalai Lama

We don't need to respond with desperate violence.
Dalai Lama
Image
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.

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.

A tree with strong roots can withstand the most violent storm, but the tree can't grow roots just as the storm appears on the horizon.
Dalai Lama

When educating the minds of our youth, we must not forget to educate their hearts.
Dalai Lama

The only definitive truth for Buddhism is the absolute negation of any one truth as the Definitive Truth.
Dalai Lama
Image
Unlike physical progress, which is subject to natural restrictions, the qualities of the mind can be developed limitlessly.
Dalai Lama
Image
With genuine love and compassion, another person's appearance or behavior has no affect on your attitude.
Dalai Lama
Image
Friends, genuine friends, have much more to do with whether we have a warm heart, not money or power.
Dalai Lama
Image
I believe that we are fundamentally the same and have the same basic potential.
Dalai Lama
Image
When we are motivated by compassion and wisdom, the results of our actions benefit everyone, not just our individual selves.
Dalai Lama
Image
If science proves some belief of Buddhism wrong, then Buddhism will have to change.
