More quotes by Dalai Lama
All religions try to benefit people, with the same basic message of the need for love and compassion, for justice and honesty, for contentment.
Dalai Lama
Time passes unhindered. When we make mistakes, we cannot turn the clock back and try again. All we can do is use the present well.
Dalai Lama
Happiness doesn't always come from a pursuit. Sometimes it comes when we least expect it.
Dalai Lama
A generous heart and wholesome actions lead to greater peace.
Dalai Lama

Dalai Lama

Media people should have long noses like an elephant to smell out politicians, mayors, prime ministers and businessmen. We need to know the reality, the good and the bad, not just the appearance.
Dalai Lama
Any issue, including political, economic and religious activities human beings pursue in this world, should be fully understood before we pass our judgement. Therefore, it is very important to know the causes. Whatever the issue, we should be able to see the complete picture. This will enable us to comprehend the whole story.
Dalai Lama
Buddhism strongly discourages blind faith and fanaticism.
Dalai Lama
True enlightenment is nothing but the nature of one's own self being fully realized.
Dalai Lama
We can benefit others through our actions by being warm and generous toward them, by being charitable, and by helping those in need.
Dalai Lama
I always tell people that religious institutions and political institutions should be separate. So while I'm telling people this, I myself continue with them combined. Hypocrisy!
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.
