Without love we could not survive. Human beings are social creatures, and a concern for each other is the very basis of our life together.
Dalai Lama
Now you are on the Buddhist way. Keep up your meditation, as there is no instant illumination. The mind moves slowly into this. Do not become attached to your method. When, in the course of your meditation, your consciousness will have expanded and been transformed, you will then recognize that all the ways are valid ways.

In the present circumstances, no one can afford to assume that someone else will solve their problems. Every individual has a responsibility to help guide our global family in the right direction. Good wishes are not sufficient we must become actively engaged.
Dalai Lama
To combat hatred directed toward a person, a Buddhist cultivates loving kindness toward that person.
Dalai Lama
The goal is not to be better than the other man, but your previous self.
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
Your motivation should be sincere and your life should be of benefit to some people. That is the main thing. Don't care after my death.
Dalai Lama
Self confidence plays an important part in every aspect of man's life.
Dalai Lama
The proper use of our intelligence and knowledge is to effect changes from within to develop a good heart.
Dalai Lama
Human beings are not intrinsically selfish, which isolates us from others. We are essentially social animals who depend on others to meet our needs. We achieve happiness, prosperity and progress through social interaction. Therefore, having a kind and helpful attitude contributes to our own and others' happiness.
Dalai Lama
Through meditative techniques, one can free the mind of delusions and attain what we call enlightenment.
