More quotes by Dalai Lama
There are techniques of Buddhism, such as meditation, that anyone can adopt.
Dalai Lama
I believe that the destructive nature of society that now threatens the existence of the entire human world has much to do with human intelligence. The way to overcome all human suffering-that also is through human intelligence.
Dalai Lama
We can wake ourselves up, discover in ourselves an energy that was hidden there, and act with more clarity, more force.
Dalai Lama
I have never been any place where I was not first invited. And upon invitation, if I feel that there is potential for making some contribution to humanity, I will comply in spite of being tired.
Dalai Lama
One country ... one ideology, one system is not sufficient. It is helpful to have a variety of different approaches ... We can then make a joint effort to solve the problems of the whole of humankind.
Dalai Lama
It is important not to allow ourselves to be put off by the magnitude of others' suffering. The misery of millions is not a cause for pity. Rather it is a cause for compassion.
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
If one assumes a humble attitude, one's own good qualities will increase. Whereas if one is proud, one will become jealous of others, one will look down on others, and due to that there will be unhappiness in society.
Dalai Lama
It is my dream that the entire Tibetan plateau should become a free refuge where humanity and nature can live in peace and in harmonious balance. It would be a place where people from all over the world could come to seek the true meaning of peace within themselves, away from the tensions and pressures of much of the rest of the world
Dalai Lama
I have found that the greatest degree of inner tranquility comes from the development of love and compassion. The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being. Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It is the ultimate source of success in life.
Dalai Lama
The various features and aspects of human life, such as longevity, good health, success, happiness, and so forth, which we consider desirable, are all dependent on kindness and a good heart.
Dalai Lama
Don't try to use what you learn from Buddhism to be a Buddhist use it to be a better whatever-you-al ready-are.
Dalai Lama
Better grounded emotionally through patience, we become stronger mentally and spiritually, and tend to be healthier physically.
Dalai Lama
We must realize that it is best to focus on our oneness, to re emphasize what is the same about each of us rather than dwell on what is different.
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
I pray for a more friendly, more caring, and more understanding human family on this planet. To all who dislike suffering, who cherish lasting happiness, this is my heartfelt appeal.
Dalai Lama
Wealth is not necessarily a bad thing when it has been earned in an honest manner and neither other individuals nor the environment suffered for it.
Dalai Lama
I believe that whether a person follows any religion or not is unimportant, he or she must have a good heart, a warm heart.
Dalai Lama
A tree with strong roots can withstand the most violent storm, but the tree can't grow roots just as the storm appears on the horizon.
Dalai Lama
The right way to deal with mental unhappiness must be within the mind too. On an emotional level, anger, fear and worry bring unhappiness. Scientists say they eat into our immune system. On the other hand, we are also equipped with a sense of affection and compassionate concern for the well-being of others.
