More quotes by Dalai Lama
True spirituality is a mental attitude you can practice at any time.
Dalai Lama
Our business is to be happy.
Dalai Lama
I usually say the aim of life is to be happy. Our existence is based on hope. Our life is rooted in the opportunity to be happy, not necessarily wealthy, but happy within our own minds. If we only indulge in sensory pleasure, we'll be little different from animals. In fact, we have this marvellous brain and intelligence we must learn to use it.
Dalai Lama
Feelings of anger, bitterness, and hate are negative. If I kept those inside me, they would spoil my body and my health. The are of no use.
Dalai Lama
Study and practice are both very important, but they must go hand in hand. Faith without knowledge is not sufficient. Faith needs to be supported by reason. However intellectual understanding that is not applied in practice is also of little use. Whatever we learn from study we need to apply sincerely in our daily lives.
Dalai Lama
A disciplined mind leads to happiness, and an undisciplined mind leads to suffering.
Dalai Lama
Death and dying provide a meeting-point between the Tibetan Buddhist and modern scientific traditions. I believe both have a great deal to contribute to each other on the level of understanding and of practical benefit.
Dalai Lama
Attention-yes! That's present! And present, you see, makes past and future.
Dalai Lama
Meditation may also be thought of as a technique by which we diminish the force of old thought habits and develop new ones.
Dalai Lama
Even more important than the warmth and affection we receive, is the warmth and affection we give. It is by giving warmth and affection, by having a genuine sense of concern for others, in other words through compassion, that we gain the conditions for genuine happiness. More important than being loved, therefore, is to love.
Dalai Lama
No single Tibetan dreaming return of previous sort of backwardness, therefore as far as economy development is concerned, Tibet remain within the People's Republic of China, we will get greater benefit.
Dalai Lama
The practice of love can be expressed in one sentence: 'Do not harm others.'
Dalai Lama
Women have the capacity to lead us to a more peaceful world with compassion, affection, and kindness.
Dalai Lama
Ultimately, the reason why love and compassion bring the greatest happiness is simply that our nature cherishes them above all else. The need for love lies at the very foundation of human existence.
Dalai Lama
Generally speaking, if a human being never shows anger, then I think something's wrong. He's not right in the brain.
Dalai Lama
A mind wishing to benefit other people and other sentient beings is the very basis of peace and happiness.
Dalai Lama
To combat hatred directed toward a person, a Buddhist cultivates loving kindness toward that person.
Dalai Lama
Sin contains its own judgement and punishment.
Dalai Lama
I never dreamt, in my dream, I'm Dalai Lama.
Dalai Lama
It may seem unrealistic to think we can ever become free from hatred, but Buddhists have systematic methods for gradually developing a tolerance powerful enough to give such freedom.
