Quote

We can't blame the entire Muslim society because of the mischievous acts of a few individuals. Therefore, at the general public level we must cultivate the notion of not just one religion, one truth, but pluralism and many truths. We can change the atmosphere, and we can modify certain ways of thinking.

More quotes by Dalai Lama

Image
The very purpose of religion is to control yourself, not to criticize others. Rather, we must criticize ourselves. How much am I doing about my anger? About my attachment, about my hatred, about my pride, my jealousy? These are the things which we must check in daily life.
Dalai Lama
Image
Anger and hatred are the real enemies that we must confront and defeat, not the 'enemies' who appear from time to time in our lives.

I am not promoting Buddhism. I am promoting human values.

World peace must develop from inner peace.
Dalai Lama

If we don't understand phenomena, we are more likely to do things to harm ourselves and others.
Dalai Lama
Image
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
Image
Peace can only last where human rights are respected, where the people are fed, and where individuals and nations are free. True peace with oneself and with the world around us can only be achieved through the development of mental peace.
Dalai Lama
Image
The message of love and compassion will travel far and wide if all who follow a spiritual path work together in harmony and mutual respect.
Dalai Lama
Image
Now you are on the Buddhist way. Keep up your meditation, as there is no instant illumination. The mind moves slowly into this. Do not become attached to your method. When, in the course of your meditation, your consciousness will have expanded and been transformed, you will then recognize that all the ways are valid ways.
Dalai Lama

It is the enemy who can truly teach us to practice the virtues of compassion and tolerance.

We may be different races and religions but we are all part of the same human family

Tolerance and patience should not be read as signs of weakness. They are signs of strength.
Dalai Lama
Image
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.

Easy times are the enemy, they put us to sleep. Adversity is our friend, it wakes us up
