Image
Indulgence in resentment and vengeance will only further increase miseries to oneself and others in this life and in lives to come.
Dalai Lama
Image
Have no discrepancy between what you say, what you are and what you do.
Dalai Lama
Image
The practice of love can be expressed in one sentence: 'Do not harm others.'
Dalai Lama
Image
We can make this a more peaceful century if we cherish non-violence and concern for others’ well-being. It is possible. If the individual is happier, his or her family is happier if families are happy, neighborhoods and nations will be happy. By transforming ourselves we can change our human way of life and make this a century of compassion.
Dalai Lama

Self-discipline is crucial to a simpler, more contented life.
Dalai Lama
Image
If you have a particular faith or religion, that is good. But you can survive without it.
Dalai Lama
Image
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.
Dalai Lama
Image
If there are sound reasons or bases for the points you demand, then there is no need for violence. On the other hand, when there is no sound reason that concessions should be made to you but mainly your own desire, then reason cannot work and you have to rely on force. Thus using force is not a sign of strength but rather a sign of weakness.
Dalai Lama
Image
We need an approach to ethics which makes no recourse to religion and can be equally acceptable to those with faith and those without.
Dalai Lama
Image
For a practitioner of love and compassion, an enemy is one of the most important teachers. Without an enemy you cannot practice tolerance, and without tolerance you cannot build a sound basis of compassion.
Dalai Lama
Image
Buddha urged people to investigate things - he didn't just command them to believe.
Dalai Lama
Image
My message is always the same: to cultivate and practice love, kindness, compassion and tolerance.
Dalai Lama
Image
We believe in self creation. That's why Buddhists believe in the Four Noble Truths.
Dalai Lama
Image
Don't try to use what you learn from Buddhism to be a Buddhist use it to be a better whatever-you-al ready-are.
Dalai Lama
Image
Internal peace is an essential first step to achieving peace in the world. How do you cultivate it? It's very simple. In the first place by realizing clearly that all mankind is one, that human beings in every country are members of one and the same family.
Dalai Lama
Image
When you are warm-hearted, there is no room for anger, jealousy or insecurity.
Dalai Lama
Image
Nonviolence is the only way. Even if you achieve your goal by violent means there are always side effects, and these can be worse than the problem. Violence is against human nature.
Dalai Lama
Image
Smile if you want a smile from another face.
Dalai Lama
Image
In the interests of everyone the artist had a responsibility to use his medium well. In the Tibetan culture, most of the paintings are of deities or Buddhas, and they try to send a message of the value of the spiritual.
Dalai Lama
Image
A compassionate attitude helps you communicate more easily with your fellow human beings. As a result, you make more genuine friends and the atmosphere around you is more positive, which gives you greater inner strength. This inner strength helps you spontaneously concern yourself with others, instead of thinking only about yourself.
