More quotes by Dalai Lama
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
Today, due to the massive Chinese population transfer, the nation of Tibet truly faces the threat of extinction, along with its unique cultural heritage of Buddhist spirituality.
Dalai Lama
I believe that the basic nature of human beings is gentle and compassionate. It is therefore in our own interest to encourage that nature, to make it live within us, to leave room for it to develop. If on the contrary we use violence, it is as if we voluntarily obstruct the positive side of human nature and prevent its evolution.
Dalai Lama
The need for love lies at the very foundation of human existence.
Dalai Lama
A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.
Dalai Lama
The ultimate source of my mental happiness is my peace of mind. Nothing can destroy this except my own anger.
Dalai Lama
People once considered that religions were obsolete and that material science would solve all human problems. Then they have become disillusioned with materialism and machinery and have realized that spiritual sciences are also indispensable for human welfare.
Dalai Lama
The proper use of our intelligence and knowledge is to effect changes from within to develop a good heart.
Dalai Lama
Had Tibet not fallen away from dharma China could not have invaded.
Dalai Lama
For discovering one's true inner nature, I think one should try to take out some time, with quiet and relaxation, to think more inwardly and to investigate the inner world. That may help.
Dalai Lama
If the work is worthwhile, then whether we can complete it or not, it's worth making the attempt. That's why courage is important.
Dalai Lama
If we ourselves remain angry and then sing world peace, it has little meaning. First, our individual self must learn peace. This we can practice. Then we can teach the rest of the world.
Dalai Lama
Nonviolence is the only way. Even if you achieve your goal by violent means there are always side effects, and these can be worse than the problem. Violence is against human nature.
Dalai Lama
For a practitioner of love and compassion, an enemy is one of the most important teachers. Without an enemy you cannot practice tolerance, and without tolerance you cannot build a sound basis of compassion.
Dalai Lama
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
Education is the way to achieve far-reaching results, it is the proper way to promote compassion and tolerance in society.
Dalai Lama
In my mind of course natural disaster like tsunami, and these things, also I think indirectly may relate to human behavior. But then major sort of problems actually they're due to a lack of moral principle.
Dalai Lama
[Animals] appreciate others' affection, they also have the sort of ability to show their own affection. And then as soon as we're born, child, no religious faith.
Dalai Lama
We must work to resolve conflicts in a spirit of reconciliation and always keep in mind the interests of others. We cannot destroy our neighours! We cannot ignore their interests!
Dalai Lama
By being inattentive to the needs of others, inevitably we end up harming them.
Dalai Lama
