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
Media people should have long noses like an elephant to smell out politicians, mayors, prime ministers and businessmen. We need to know the reality, the good and the bad, not just the appearance.
Dalai Lama
The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness.
Dalai Lama
Without religion, also there is a way, it could be this way, through education, through scientific findings, then you get conviction. Not necessarily really love other, but for their own interest they are showing love, compassion to other like that.
Dalai Lama
When you engage in fulfilling the needs of others, your own needs are fulfilled as a by-product.
Dalai Lama
Some people get the impression that Buddhism talks too much about suffering. In order to become prosperous, a person must initially work very hard, so he or she has to sacrifice a lot of leisure time. Similarly, the Buddhist is willing to sacrifice immediate comfort so that he or she can achieve lasting happiness.
Dalai Lama
If we don't understand phenomena, we are more likely to do things to harm ourselves and others.
Dalai Lama
An ethical act is one which does not harm others' experience or expectation of happiness.
Dalai Lama
Happiness doesn't always come from a pursuit. Sometimes it comes when we least expect it.
Dalai Lama
Too strong a media emphasis on death and violence can lead to despair.
Dalai Lama
Not only is your own happiness and welfare related to others, but the more you help them, the happier you will be.
Dalai Lama
Our visit to this planet is short, so we should use our time meaningfully, which we can do by helping others wherever possible. And if we cannot help others, at least we should try not to create pain and suffering for them.
Dalai Lama
As you breathe in, cherish yourself. As you breathe out, cherish all Beings.
Dalai Lama
If you have religious faith, very good, you can add on secular ethics, then religious belief, add on it, very good. But even those people who have no interest about religion, okay, it's not religion, but you can train through education.
Dalai Lama
I really feel that some people neglect and overlook compassion because they associate it with religion. Of course, everyone is free to choose whether they pay religion any regard, but to neglect compassion is a mistake because it is the source of our own well-being.
Dalai Lama
I must have dialogue with the Chinese government, and dialogue requires compromise. Therefore, I'm speaking for genuine self-rule, not for independence.
Dalai Lama
Unless we possess high spiritual qualifications, there is no doubt that the events life throws upon us will give rise to frustration, emotional turmoil, and other distorted states of consciousness. These imperfect states of mind in turn give rise to imperfect activities, and the seeds of suffering are ever planted in a steady flow.
Dalai Lama
Although attempting to bring about world peace through the internal transformation of individuals is difficult, it is the only way.
Dalai Lama
Every man has the basis of good. Not only human beings, you can find it among animals and insects, for instance, when we treat a dog or horse lovingly.
Dalai Lama
If you have a particular faith or religion, that is good. But you can survive without it.
Dalai Lama
Each of us must learn to work not just for one self, one's own family or one's nation, but for the benefit of all humankind. Universal responsibility is the key to human survival. It is the best foundation for world peace.
Dalai Lama
