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.

More quotes by Dalai Lama
When we meet real tragedy in life, we can react in two ways - either by losing hope and falling into self-destructive habits, or by using the challenge to find our inner strength.
Dalai Lama
I believe deeply that we must find a new spirituality... in such a way that all people of good will could adhere to it... We ought to promote this concept with the help of scientists... It could lead us to what we are looking for.
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
We have a natural creative ability and it is very important to realize this.
Dalai Lama
Once a year go somewhere you have never been before.
Dalai Lama
It does not matter whether you are a theist or atheist, what matters is sincerity, forgiveness, and compassion.
Dalai Lama
Everything you do has some effect, some impact.
Dalai Lama
Death and dying provide a meeting-point between the Tibetan Buddhist and modern scientific traditions. I believe both have a great deal to contribute to each other on the level of understanding and of practical benefit.
Dalai Lama
The jealousy that arises from another's achievement is overcome by developing an awareness of and admiration for one's own and other's achievement.
Dalai Lama
It seems to me that self confidence and the ability to stand one's ground are essential if we want to succeed in life. I am not talking of stupid self-assurance but of an awareness of our inner potential, a certainty that we can always correct our behavior, improve ourselves, enrich ourselves, and that things are never hopeless
Dalai Lama
What unites all beings is their desire for happiness.
Dalai Lama
The only definitive truth for Buddhism is the absolute negation of any one truth as the Definitive Truth.
Dalai Lama
Today is the right day to love, believe, do, and mostly, live.
Dalai Lama
The development of a kind heart, or feeling of closeness for all human beings, does not involve any of the kind of religiosity we normally associate with it...It is for everyone, irrespective of race, religion or any political affiliation.
Dalai Lama
I have been clear in my position for quite a while, but the Chinese have not responded. Therefore, we are now in the process of holding a referendum on our policy among all the Tibetan community in exile and even inside Tibet, to check whether the majority thinks we are on the right track.
Dalai Lama
As people alive today, we must consider future generations: a clean environment is a human right like any other. It is therefore part of our responsibility toward others to ensure that the world we pass on is as healthy, if not healthier, than we found it.
Dalai Lama
True friends share genuine closeness and remain friends irrespective of fluctuating fortunes.
Dalai Lama
What is the purpose of life? I believe that the purpose of life is to be happy.
Dalai Lama
I really do not want to carry some kind of party function.
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
