It is... very helpful to think of adversity not so much as a threat to our peace of mind but rather as the very means by which patience is attained.
Dalai Lama
Image
Compassion naturally creates a positive atmosphere, and as a result you feel peaceful and content.
Dalai Lama
Image
My desire to devolve authority has nothing to do with a wish to shirk responsibility.
Dalai Lama
Image
Although individuals may be highly intelligent, they are sometimes dogged by skepticism and doubts. They are clever, but they tend to be hesitant and skeptical and are never really able to settle down. These people are the least receptive.
Dalai Lama
Image
As far as mental development is concerned, we should never be complacent. We can develop our minds infinitely - there is no limitation.
Dalai Lama
Image
We are all, by nature, clearly oriented toward the basic human values of love and compassion. We all prefer the love of others to their hatred. We all prefer others’ generosity to meanness. And who is there among us who does not prefer tolerance, respect and forgiveness of our failings to bigotry, disrespect, and resentment?
Dalai Lama
Image
It is not only our right as members of the global human family to protest when our brothers and sisters are being treated brutally, but it is also our duty to do whatever we can to hep them.
Dalai Lama
Image
The person who received maximum affection from mother, that person also sort of cultivated the potential showing affection to others.
Dalai Lama
Image
World peace must develop from inner peace. Peace is not just mere absence of violence. Peace is, I think, the manifestation of human compassion.
Dalai Lama
Image
We believe in self creation. That's why Buddhists believe in the Four Noble Truths.
Dalai Lama
Image
We need to find secular ways to cultivate warm-heartedness. We need secular ways to educate ourselves about inner values. The source of a happy life is within us. Trouble makers in many parts of the world are often quite well educated, so it is not just education that we need. We need to pay attention to inner values.
Dalai Lama
Image
Love and compassion are the pillars of world peace.
Dalai Lama
Image
In some places, there's the concept of one religion, one truth. In the Muslim world, there's the notion of Allah. The Western, multireligious modern society is some kind of a challenge to this. These, I feel, are the main causes [for terrorism], and, when combined with lots of anger and frustration, cause a huge amount of hate.
Dalai Lama
Image
The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness.
Dalai Lama
Image
We know that to wage a nuclear war today, for example, would be a form of suicide or that to pollute the air or the oceans in order to achieve some short-term benefit would be to destroy the very basis for our survival.
Dalai Lama
Image
As people alive today, we must consider future generations: a clean environment is a human right like any other. It is therefore part of our responsibility toward others to ensure that the world we pass on is as healthy, if not healthier, than we found it.
Dalai Lama
Image
I think technology really increased human ability, but technology cannot produce compassion.
Dalai Lama
Image
So long as space remains So long as sentient beings' Suffering remains I will remain In order to help, In order to serve.
Dalai Lama
Image
Spend 5 minutes breathing in, cherishing yourself and, breathing out cherishing others. If you think about people you have difficulty cherishing, extend your cherishing to them anyway.
Dalai Lama
Image
If we have no inner peace, we deceive ourselves into thinking that comfort and prosperity will bring happiness.
Dalai Lama
