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
Morally speaking, we should be concerned for our whole environment.
Dalai Lama
Try to improve. Don't expect too much, but don't feel discouraged either keep up your enthusiasm you will make progress.
Dalai Lama
You must not hate those who do wrong or harmful things but with compassion, you must do what you can to stop them — for they are harming themselves, as well as those who suffer from their actions.
Dalai Lama
If we adopt a self-centered approach to life, by which we attempt to use others for our own self interest, we might be able to gain temporary benefits, but in the long run we will not succeed in achieving even our personal happiness, and hope for the next life is out of the question.
Dalai Lama
To seek solitude like a wild animal. That is my only ambition.
Dalai Lama
So, the tendency of our childish nature is to take small things too seriously and get easily offended, whereas when we are confronted with situations which have long-term consequences, we tend to take things less seriously
Dalai Lama
It is my fundamental belief that all human beings share the same basic aspirations: that we all want hapiness and that we all share suffering. Asians, just like Americans, Europeans, and the rest of the world, share a desire to live life to its fullest, to better ourselves and the lives of our loved ones.
Dalai Lama
Compassion suits our physical condition, whereas anger, fear and distrust are harmful to our well-being. Therefore, just as we learn the importance of physical hygiene to physical health, to ensure healthy minds, we need to learn some kind of emotional hygiene.
Dalai Lama
I have been confronted with many difficulties throughout the course of my life, and my country is going through a critical period. But I laugh often, and my laughter is contagious. When people ask me how I find the strength to laugh now, I reply that I am a professional laugher.
Dalai Lama
Sleep is the best meditation.
Dalai Lama
There is no self-interest completely unrelated to others' interests. Due to the fundamental interconnectedness which lies at the heart of reality, your interest is also my interest. From this it becomes clear that my interest and your interest are intimately connected. In a deep sense, they converge.
Dalai Lama
Happiness doesn't always come from a pursuit. Sometimes it comes when we least expect it.
Dalai Lama
While it is all very well to distinguish happiness that is transient from that which is lasting, between ephemeral and genuine happiness, the only happiness it is meaningful to speak of when a person is dying from thirst is access to water.
Dalai Lama
The point of life is happiness.
Dalai Lama
I call the light and high aspects of my being spirit and the dark and heavy aspects soul.
Dalai Lama
Different people describe me in a different ways. Some describe me as the living Buddha. Nonsense. Some describe me as 'God-king.' Nonsense. Some consider me as a demon or a wolf in Buddhist robes. That also, I think nonsense.
Dalai Lama
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
The purpose of our lives is to be happy.
Dalai Lama
Not only can I not recall my experiences in my previous lives, sometimes I can't even remember what I did yesterday.
Dalai Lama
Artists have the responsibility to serve humanity give people hope.
