I believe that the destructive nature of society that now threatens the existence of the entire human world has much to do with human intelligence. The way to overcome all human suffering-that also is through human intelligence.

More quotes by Dalai Lama
Someone else's action should not determine your response.
Dalai Lama
Whether one believes in a religion or not, and whether one believes in rebirth or not, there isn't anyone who doesn't appreciate kindness and compassion.
Dalai Lama
To develop patience, you need someone who willfully hurts you. Such people give us real opportunities to practice tolerance. They test our inner strength in a way that even our guru cannot. Basically, patience protects us from being discouraged.
Dalai Lama
My enemy is my greatest teacher.
Dalai Lama
It is important to reflect on the kindness of others. Every aspect of our present well-being is due to others' hard work. The buildings we live and work in, the roads we travel, the clothes we wear, and the food we eat, are all provided by others. None of them would exist but for the kindness of so many people unknown to us.
Dalai Lama
A new way of thinking has become the necessary condition for responsible living and acting. If we maintain obsolete values and beliefs, a fragmented consciousness and self-centered spirit, we will continue to hold onto outdated goals and behaviors.
Dalai Lama
Many people today agree that we need to reduce violence in our society. If we are truly serious about this, we must deal with the roots of violence, particularly those that exist within each of us. We need to embrace 'inner disarmament,' reducing our own emotions of suspicion, hatred and hostility toward our brothers and sisters
Dalai Lama
Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive.Laughter is good for thinking because when people laugh, it is easier for them to admit new ideas to their minds.
Dalai Lama
Compassion is not helpless pity, but an awareness and determination that demands action.
Dalai Lama
I am increasingly convinced that the time has come to find a way of thinking about spirituality and ethics beyond religion altogether.
Dalai Lama
Today, due to the massive Chinese population transfer, the nation of Tibet truly faces the threat of extinction, along with its unique cultural heritage of Buddhist spirituality.
Dalai Lama
A Compassionate state of mind brings inner peace, and therefore a healthier body.
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
I believe compassion to be one of the few things we can practice that will bring immediate and long-term happiness to our lives.
Dalai Lama
I will not propose to you that my way is best. The decision is up to you. If you find some point which may be suitable to you, then you can carry out experiments for yourself. If you find that it is of no use, then you can discard it.
Dalai Lama
We need a little more compassion, and if we cannot have it, then no politician or even a magician can save the planet.
Dalai Lama
Many people and companies only have one goal: money, money, and more money. Greed is ok when you let others profit from it, but greed for oneself is bad, it makes you ill.
Dalai Lama
Know the rules well, so you can break them effectively.
Dalai Lama
Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease.
Dalai Lama
Happiness doesn't always come from a pursuit. Sometimes it comes when we least expect it.
Dalai Lama
