More quotes by Dalai Lama

Dalai Lama
On occasions when u feel most hopeless, u must take powerful effort. We must persist in face of failure.
Dalai Lama
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.
Dalai Lama
Compassion is something we can count on. Even if we face economic problems and our fortunes decline, we can still share our compassion with our fellow human beings. National and global economies are subject to many ups and downs, but through them all we can retain a compassionate attitude that will carry us through.

Dalai Lama
If you make your best effort to be kinder, nurture compassion, make the world a better place, then you can say 'At least I've done my best.
Dalai Lama
Nothing is permanent.
Dalai Lama
A spoon cannot taste of the food it carries. Likewise, a foolish man cannot understand the wise manĀ“s wisdom even if he associates with a sage.

Dalai Lama

Dalai Lama
The development of a kind heart, or feeling of closeness for all human beings, does not involve any of the kind of religiosity we normally associate with it...It is for everyone, irrespective of race, religion or any political affiliation.
Dalai Lama
The purpose of life is to be happy.
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
The basic Buddhist stand on the question of equality between the genders is age-old. At the highest tantric levels, at the highest esoteric level, you must respect women: every woman.
