The affection is mainly biological factor. Then further sort of strengthening, that religion helps.
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
For Tibetans, the real strength of our struggle is truth - not size, money, or expertise. China is much bigger, richer, more powerful militarily, and has much better skill in diplomacy. They outdo us in every field. But they have no justice. We have placed our whole faith in truth and in justice. We have nothing else, in principle and in practice.
Dalai Lama
Image
There are differences between us. But it doesn't make sense to emphasize that, because my future and yours is connected with everyone else's. So we have to take seriously our concern for all of humanity. When we focus on our individuality, humanity inevitably suffers. And once humanity suffers, each one of us will also suffer.
Dalai Lama

As long as I am alive, I am fully committed to amity between Tibetans and Chinese. Otherwise there's no use.
Dalai Lama

Genuine harmony must come from the heart. It cannot come from the barrel of a gun.
Dalai Lama
Image
It's not enough to be compassionate. You must act.
Dalai Lama
Image
What is the relationship between spirituality and ethical practice? Since love and compassion and similar qualities all, by definition, presume some level of concern for others' well-being, they presume ethical restraint. We cannot be loving and compassionate unless at the same time we curb our own harmful impulses and desires.
Dalai Lama
Image
There is a saying in Tibetan that at the door of the miserable rich man sleeps the contented beggar. The point of this saying is not that poverty is a virtue, but that happiness does not come with wealth, but from setting limits to one's desires, and living within those limits with satisfaction.
Dalai Lama
Image
It is natural that we face obstacles in pursuit of our goals. But if we remain passive, making no effort to solve the problems we meet, conflicts will arise and hindrances will grow. Transforming these obstacles into opportunities is a challenge to our human ingenuity.
Dalai Lama
Image
If you practice in accord with your individual capacity, little by little you will find more pleasure and joy in it. As you gain inner strength, your positive actions will gain in profundity and scope.
Dalai Lama
Image
If your own mental attitude is correct, even if you remain in a hostile atmosphere, you feel happy.
Dalai Lama
Image
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
Image
Tolerance and patience should not be read as signs of weakness. They are signs of strength.
Dalai Lama
Image
Calm mind brings inner strength and self-confidence, so that's very important for good health.
Dalai Lama
Image
A great rock is not disturbed by the wind the mind of a wise man is not disturbed by either honor or abuse.
Dalai Lama
Image

Dalai Lama
Image
Laughing in full abandonment is very good for your health.
Dalai Lama
Image
I have observed that religious practice is not a precondition either of ethical conduct or of happiness itself. I have also suggested that, whether a person practices religion or not, the spiritual qualities of love and compassion, patience, tolerance, forgiveness, humility and so on are indispensable.

Although it is difficult to pinpoint the physical base or location of awareness, it is perhaps the most precious thing concealed within our brains. And it is something that the individual alone can feel and experience. Each of us cherishes it highly, yet it is private.
