Helping others is not limited to providing food, shelter, and so forth, but includes relieving the basic causes of suffering and providing the basic causes of happiness.
Dalai Lama
Image
The more we are concerned for the well being of others, the closer we will feel to each other.
Dalai Lama
Image
Compassion is not helpless pity, but an awareness and determination that demands action.
Dalai Lama
Image
I consider others as just brothers and sisters. Nothing barrier.
Dalai Lama
Image
It seems that for some people the idea of compassion entails a complete disregard for or even a sacrifice of their own interests. This is not the case. In fact, you first of all have to have a wish to be happy yourself - if you don't love yourself like that, how can you love others?
Dalai Lama
Image
You need self-confidence and determination: feeling depressed and losing hope will never really help to correct any situation.
Dalai Lama
Image
Only the development of compassion and understanding for others can bring us the tranquility and happiness we all seek.
Dalai Lama
Image
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

In daily practice, reflect on the benefits of love, compassion and kindness, then reflect on the disadvantages of anger. Such continuous contemplation, the growing appreciation of love, has the effect of reducing our inclination towards hatred and increasing our respect for love. By this means even anger can be diminished.
Dalai Lama
Image
I believe deeply that we must find, all of us together, a new spirituality.
Dalai Lama
Image
Delusions are states of mind which, when they arise within our mental continuum, leave us disturbed, confused and unhappy. Therefore, those states of mind which delude or afflict us are called 'delusions.'
Dalai Lama
Image
Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.
Dalai Lama
Image
Spirituality actually must be above politics. Or some other sort of business.
Dalai Lama
Image
Human potential is the same for all. If you have will power, then you can change anything.
Dalai Lama
Image
There are differences between us. But it doesn't make sense to emphasize that, because my future and yours is connected with everyone else's. So we have to take seriously our concern for all of humanity. When we focus on our individuality, humanity inevitably suffers. And once humanity suffers, each one of us will also suffer.
Dalai Lama
Image
I always believed in love, compassion and a sense of universal respect. Every human being has that potential.
Dalai Lama
Image
A generous heart and wholesome actions lead to greater peace.
Dalai Lama
Image
We must openly accept all ideologies and systems as a means of solving humanity's problems. One country, one nation, one ideology, one system is not sufficient.
Dalai Lama
Image
Spend 5 minutes at the beginning of each day remembering we all want the same things (to be happy and be loved) and we are all connected to one another.
Dalai Lama
Image
The proper way to create friends is to have a warm heart, not simply money or power. The friend of power and the friend of money are something different.
