True friends share genuine closeness and remain friends irrespective of fluctuating fortunes.

We cannot learn real patience and tolerance from a guru or a friend. They can be practiced only when we come in contact with someone who creates unpleasant experiences. According to Shantideva, enemies are really good for us as we can learn a lot from them and build our inner strength.

I believe compassion to be one of the few things we can practice that will bring immediate and long-term happiness to our lives.
Dalai Lama

If we can manage to refrain from harming others in our everyday actions and words, we can start to give more serious attention to actively doing good, and this can be a source of great joy and inner confidence. We can benefit others through our actions by being warm and generous toward them, by being charitable, and by helping those in need.

Unless we possess high spiritual qualifications, there is no doubt that the events life throws upon us will give rise to frustration, emotional turmoil, and other distorted states of consciousness. These imperfect states of mind in turn give rise to imperfect activities, and the seeds of suffering are ever planted in a steady flow.

If some people have the belief or view that the Dalai Lama has some miracle power, that's totally nonsense.

To the extent that our experience of suffering reminds us of what everyone else also endures, it serves as a powerful inspiration to practice compassion and avoid causing others pain. And to the extent that suffering awakens our empathy and causes us to connect with others, it serves as the basis of compassion and love.

Rulers come and go. It's the people who are the real rulers of the country.
Dalai Lama

Of course, there are different truths on different levels. Things are true relative to other things long and short relate to each other, high and low, and so on. But is there any absolute truth? Something self-sufficient, independently true in itself? I don't think so.
Dalai Lama

I think there's every reason this 21st century will be much happier.
Dalai Lama

If we continue to approach problems from the perspective of temporary expediency, future generations will face tremendous difficulties.
Dalai Lama

On a daily basis, you must take more care of your mind than just money, money, money!

I believe all suffering is caused by ignorance.
Dalai Lama
Image
I believe that the time has come for women to take more active roles in all domains of human society, in an age in which education and the capacities of the mind, not physical strength, define leadership. This could help create a more equitable and compassionate society.
Dalai Lama

I myself feel, and also tell other Buddhists that the question of Nirvana will come later. There is not much hurry. If in day to day life you lead a good life, honesty, with love, with compassion, with less selfishness, then automatically it will lead to Nirvana.

True enlightenment is nothing but the nature of one's own self being fully realized.
