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.

More quotes by Dalai Lama
Responsibility - moral responsibilities, responsibilities regarding society - these are things that come from the heart.
Dalai Lama
Many people think that patience is a sign of weakness. I think this is a mistake. It is anger that is a sign of weakness, whereas patience is a sign of strength
Dalai Lama
Real love is not based on attachment, but on altruism. In this case, your compassion will remain as a humane response to suffering as long as beings continue to suffer.
Dalai Lama
More often than not, anger is actually an indication of weakness rather than of strength.
Dalai Lama
Indulgence in resentment and vengeance will only further increase miseries to oneself and others in this life and in lives to come.
Dalai Lama
The essence of any religion is good heart. Sometimes I call love and compassion a universal religion. This is my religion.
Dalai Lama
Provided that societies stay mindful of the challenges that capitalism creates and never forget the paramount importance of inclusion and equal opportunity, we can and should celebrate the miracle of free enterprise-and the billions of souls it has helped free from desperate poverty.
Dalai Lama
I think there's every reason this 21st century will be much happier.
Dalai Lama
A sense of contentment is crucial to being happy. Physical health, material wealth and friends contribute to this, but contentment governs our relations with them all.
Dalai Lama
People once considered that religions were obsolete and that material science would solve all human problems. Then they have become disillusioned with materialism and machinery and have realized that spiritual sciences are also indispensable for human welfare.
Dalai Lama
I pray for a more friendly, more caring, and more understanding human family on this planet. To all who dislike suffering, who cherish lasting happiness, this is my heartfelt appeal.
Dalai Lama
Human beings are not intrinsically selfish, which isolates us from others. We are essentially social animals who depend on others to meet our needs. We achieve happiness, prosperity and progress through social interaction. Therefore, having a kind and helpful attitude contributes to our own and others' happiness.
Dalai Lama
Even within one person, yesterday and today, there are differences. We must look at a deeper level.
Dalai Lama
An ethical act is one which does not harm others' experience or expectation of happiness.
Dalai Lama
Inner peace is the key: if you have inner peace, the external problems do not affect your deep sense of peace and tranquility... Without this inner peace, no matter how comfortable your life is materially, you may still be worried, disturbed or unhappy because of circumstances.
Dalai Lama
Forget the failures. Keep the lessons.
Dalai Lama
Once we have a firm practice of compassion our state of mind becomes stronger which leads to inner peace, giving rise to self-confidence, which reduces fear. This makes for constructive members of the community. Self-centredness on the other hand leads to distance, suspicion, mistrust and loneliness, with unhappiness as the result.
Dalai Lama
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
The right way to deal with mental unhappiness must be within the mind too. On an emotional level, anger, fear and worry bring unhappiness. Scientists say they eat into our immune system. On the other hand, we are also equipped with a sense of affection and compassionate concern for the well-being of others.
Dalai Lama
Moving towards better rather than moving away from bad is an attitude of embracing life rather than rejecting it.
Dalai Lama
