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.

More quotes by Dalai Lama
A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.
Dalai Lama
Religious belief is not a precondition either of ethical conduct or of happiness.
Dalai Lama
Each one of us is responsible for the whole of humankind. We need to think of each other really as brothers and sisters and to be concerned for each other’s welfare. Rather than working solely to acquire wealth, we need to do something meaningful, something directed seriously towards the welfare of humanity as a whole.
Dalai Lama
I think governments can't do much.
Dalai Lama
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
Even when we have physical hardships, we can be very happy.
Dalai Lama
The 20th century was the century of war and blood. The 21st century is the century of dialogue.
Dalai Lama
My own share making contribution [to the the well-being of humanity]. So I never feel I am something special.
Dalai Lama
It is in everybody's interest to seek those [actions] that lead to happiness and avoid those which lead to suffering. And because our interests are inextricably linked, we are compelled to accept ethics as the indispensable interface between my desire to be happy and yours.
Dalai Lama
You must not procrastinate. Rather, you should make preparations so that even if you did die tonight, you would have no regrets. If you develop an appreciation for the uncertainty and imminence of death, your sense of the importance of using your time wisely will get stronger and stronger.
Dalai Lama
The immediate source of a mind... must be a mind which existed before the conception took place the mind must have a continuity from a previous mind. This we hold to prove the existence of a past life.
Dalai Lama
We need an approach to ethics which makes no recourse to religion and can be equally acceptable to those with faith and those without.
Dalai Lama
Whether one believes in a religion or not, and whether one believes in rebirth or not, there isn't anyone who doesn't appreciate kindness and compassion.
Dalai Lama
For those who may not find happiness to exercise religious faith, it's okay to remain a radical atheist it's absolutely an individual right, but the important thing is with a compassionate heart - then no problem.
Dalai Lama
It is important to reflect on the kindness of others. Every aspect of our present well-being is due to others' hard work. The buildings we live and work in, the roads we travel, the clothes we wear, and the food we eat, are all provided by others. None of them would exist but for the kindness of so many people unknown to us.
Dalai Lama
Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease.
Dalai Lama
If there is a solution to a problem, there is no need to worry. And if there is no solution, there is no need to worry.
Dalai Lama
Other human beings have a right to peace and happiness that is equal to our own therefore we have a responsibility to help those in need.
Dalai Lama
I have found that the greatest degree of inner peace comes from cultivating love and compassion.
Dalai Lama
The three types of misery are the misery of suffering, the misery of change, and pervasive misery.
Dalai Lama
