It's not enough to be compassionate. You must act.
Dalai Lama
Image
The universe is a single atom: the convergence of science and spirituality.
Dalai Lama
Image
When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those around us. When our community is in a state of peace, it can share that peace with neighboring communities.
Dalai Lama
Image
If our tears do not lead us to act then we have lost the reason of our humanity, which is compassion.
Dalai Lama
Image
It is very wrong for people to feel deeply sad when they lose some money, yet when they waste the precious moments of their lives they do not have the slightest feeling of repentance.
Dalai Lama
Image
Genuine happiness consists in those spiritual qualities of love, compassion, patience, tolerance and forgiveness and so on. For it is these which provide both for our happiness and others happiness.
Dalai Lama
Image
The reality today is that we are all interdependent and have to co-exist on this small planet. Therefore, the only sensible and intelligent way of resolving differences and clashes of interests, whether between individuals or nations, is through dialogue.
Dalai Lama
Image
I think the person who has had more experience of hardships can stand more firmly in the face of problems than the person who has never experienced suffering. From this angle then, some suffering can be a good lesson for life.
Dalai Lama
Image
Unfortunate events though potentially a source of anger and despair have equal potential to be a source of spiritual growth. Whether or not this is the outcome depends on your response.
Dalai Lama
Image
The feeling of being happy or unhappy rarely depends on our absolute state, but on our perception of the situation, on our capacity to be satisfied with what we have.
Dalai Lama
Image
If you have a particular faith or religion, that is good. But you can survive without it.
Dalai Lama
Image
A calm mind is good for our physical health, but it also enables us to see things more realistically.
Dalai Lama
Image
Real power has to do with one's ability to influence the hearts and minds of others.
Dalai Lama
Image
I think when religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism - as well as Christianity and Judaism - were founded, at that time societies were generally male-dominated. So, therefore this social notion also influenced religion.
Dalai Lama
Image
If a harmonious relationship is established amongst societies and religious beliefs in today's multi-ethnic, multi-religious and multi-cultural world, then it will surely set a very good example for others.
Dalai Lama
Image
The fact that there is always a positive side to life is the one thing that gives me a lot of happiness.
Dalai Lama
Image
I always try to share with others the idea that in order to become compassionate it is not necessary to become religious.
Dalai Lama
Image
No one can afford to assume that someone else will solve their problems.
Dalai Lama
Image
In some places, there's the concept of one religion, one truth. In the Muslim world, there's the notion of Allah. The Western, multireligious modern society is some kind of a challenge to this. These, I feel, are the main causes [for terrorism], and, when combined with lots of anger and frustration, cause a huge amount of hate.
Dalai Lama

An ethical act is one which does not harm others' experience or expectation of happiness.
