More quotes by Dalai Lama
The very purpose of meditation is to discipline the mind and reduce afflictive emotions.
Dalai Lama
The most important thing is transforming our minds, for a new way of thinking, a new outlook: we should strive to develop a new inner world.
Dalai Lama
What is the purpose of life? I believe that the purpose of life is to be happy.
Dalai Lama
We have a natural creative ability and it is very important to realize this.
Dalai Lama
Too strong a media emphasis on death and violence can lead to despair.
Dalai Lama
We cannot overcome anger and hatred simply by suppressing them. We need to actively cultivate the antidotes: patience and tolerance.
Dalai Lama
If we don't understand phenomena, we are more likely to do things to harm ourselves and others.
Dalai Lama
Through constant familiarity, we can definitely establish new behavior patterns, using our tendency to form habits to our advantage. If we make a steady effort, I think we can overcome any form of negative conditioning and make positive changes in our lives. But we need to remember that genuine change doesn't happen overnight.
Dalai Lama
I do not judge the universe.
Dalai Lama
Spirit is a land of high white peaks and glittering jewel-like lakes and flowers. Life is sparse and sounds travel great distances.
Dalai Lama
To combat hatred directed toward a person, a Buddhist cultivates loving kindness toward that person.
Dalai Lama
A sense of concern for others gives our lives meaning it is the root of all human happiness
Dalai Lama
Don't be a person of success, be a person of value.
Dalai Lama
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
We forget that despite the superficial differences between us, people are equal in their basic wish for peace and happiness.
Dalai Lama
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
Those who have little interest in spirituality shouldn’t think that human inner values don’t apply to you. The inner peace of an alert and calm mind are the source of real happiness and good health. Our human intelligence tells us which of our emotions are positive and helpful and which are damaging and to be restrained or avoided.
Dalai Lama
I have found that the greatest degree of inner peace comes from cultivating love and compassion.
Dalai Lama
There is nothing I can't live without. I learned this attitude when I was a child.
Dalai Lama
As soon as I wake up I pay homage to the Buddha, and I try to prepare my mind to be more altruistic, more compassionate, during the day to come so I can be of benefit to beings. Then I do physical exersice - I walk on a treadmill.
Dalai Lama
