Quote

We must openly accept all ideologies and systems as a means of solving humanity's problems. One country, one nation, one ideology, one system is not sufficient.

Image
Affection is important because it counters anger, hatred and suspicion that can prevent our minds from functioning clearly.
Dalai Lama
Image
The antidote to hatred in the heart, the source of violence, is tolerance.
Dalai Lama
Image
Anger may bring extra energy, but it eclipses the best part of our brain: its rationality. The energy of anger is almost always unreliable.
Dalai Lama
Image
If we develop concern for other people's welfare, share other people's suffering, and help them, ultimately we will benefit. If we think only of ourselves and forget about others, ultimately we will lose. The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater our own sense of well-being becomes.
Dalai Lama
Image
Neither a space station nor an enlightened mind can be realized in a day.
Dalai Lama
Image
Your education tends to develop the brain while it neglects the heart, so you have a longing for teachings that develop and strengthen the good heart.
Dalai Lama
Image
I hold the view that death is rather like changing one's clothes when they are torn and old. It is not an end in itself. Yet death is unpredictable-you do not know when and howT it will take place.
Dalai Lama
Image
All human beings have an innate desire to overcome suffering, to find happiness. Training the mind to think differently, through meditation, is one important way to avoid suffering and be happy.
Dalai Lama

Life does not wait: Whether we spend our lives meaningfully or not, the time will be used up moment by moment.
Dalai Lama
Image
I believe the ultimate aim of all human beings is to obtain happiness and a sense of fulfillment... I have always stressed the importance of combining both the mental and material approach to achieving happiness for humankind.
Dalai Lama
Image
pain is inevitable,suffering is optional... we have bigger houses,but smaller families. More conveniences,but less time. We have knowledge,but less judgements more experts,but more problems more medicines but less health.
Dalai Lama
Image
Self confidence plays an important part in every aspect of man's life.
Dalai Lama
Image
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
Image
We can change society, change humanity by changing ourselves as individuals. By cultivating inner values, we can change our own lives and those of our families. This is how we can create a more peaceful world.
Dalai Lama
Image
It is difficult to violently suppress people in the long run, as the example of the Soviet Union and the Eastern European countries has shown.
Dalai Lama
Image
Go at least once a year to a place you've never been before.
Dalai Lama
Image
I often tease young people about their concern for how they look more important is inner beauty - compassion, affection and respect.
Dalai Lama
Image
For change to happen in any community, the initiative must come from the individual.
Dalai Lama
Image
In today's materialistic world there is a risk of people becoming slaves to money, as though they were simply cogs in a huge money-making machine. This does nothing for human dignity, freedom, and genuine well-being. Wealth should serve humanity, and not the other way around.
Dalai Lama
Image
Because we all share an identical need for love, it is possible to feel that anybody we meet, in whatever circumstances, is a brother or sister.
Dalai Lama
