More quotes by Dalai Lama
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
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
Human use, population, and technology have reached that certain stage where mother Earth no longer accepts our presence with silence.
Dalai Lama
Instead of wondering WHY this is happening to you, consider why this is happening to YOU.
Dalai Lama
A mind committed to compassion is like an overflowing reservoir - a constant source of energy, determination, and kindness.
Dalai Lama
I never dreamt, in my dream, I'm Dalai Lama.
Dalai Lama
Determination, with an optimistic attitude is the key to success.
Dalai Lama
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.
Dalai Lama
It is my dream that the entire Tibetan plateau should become a free refuge where humanity and nature can live in peace and in harmonious balance. It would be a place where people from all over the world could come to seek the true meaning of peace within themselves, away from the tensions and pressures of much of the rest of the world
Dalai Lama
Humans are not machines-we are something more. We have feeling and experience. Material comforts are not sufficient to satisfy us. We need something deeper-human affection.
Dalai Lama
The real enemy of happiness is the mind's fixations and delusions... If you have the right mind, you can overcome anything - you can be happy, no matter what.
Dalai Lama
So, the tendency of our childish nature is to take small things too seriously and get easily offended, whereas when we are confronted with situations which have long-term consequences, we tend to take things less seriously
Dalai Lama
Buddha urged people to investigate things - he didn't just command them to believe.
Dalai Lama
Constructiveness is the human way.
Dalai Lama
Unlike an external enemy, the inner enemy cannot regroup and launch a comeback once it has been destroyed from within.
Dalai Lama
The question of world peace, the question of family peace, the question of peace between wife and husband, or peace between parents and children, everything is dependent on that feeling of love and warmheartedness.
Dalai Lama
Silence is sometimes the best answer
Dalai Lama
We believe in self creation. That's why Buddhists believe in the Four Noble Truths.
Dalai Lama
Self satisfaction alone cannot determine if a desire or action is positive or negative. The demarcation between a positive and a negative desire or action is not whether it gives you a immediate feeling of satisfaction, but whether it ultimately results in positive or negative consequences.
Dalai Lama
We must not lose our trust in the power of truth. Everything is always changing in the world.
Dalai Lama
