Everybody loves to talk about calmness and peace, whether in a family, national, or international context, but without inner peace how can we make real peace? World peace through hatred and force is impossible.
Dalai Lama
Image
Freedom is the real source of human happiness and creativity. Irrespective of whether you are a believer or nonbeliever, whether Buddhist, Christian, or Jew, the important thing is to be a good human being.
Dalai Lama
Image
There can be no peace as long as there is grinding poverty, social injustice, inequality, oppression, environmental degradation, and as long as the weak and small continue to be trodden by the mighty and powerful.
Dalai Lama
Image
When ever Buddhism has taken root in a new land, there has been a certain variation in the style in which it is observed. The Buddha himself taught differently according to the place, the occasion and the situation of those who were listening to him.
Dalai Lama
Image
We discover that all human beings are just like us, so we are able to relate to them more easily. That generates a spirit of friendship in which there is less need to hide what we feel or what we are doing.
Dalai Lama
Image
I believe that we are fundamentally the same and have the same basic potential.

My religion is kindness.
Dalai Lama
Image
Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day.
Dalai Lama
Image
Where there is a mind, there are feelings such as pain, pleasure, and joy. No sentient being wants pain: all wants happiness instead.
Dalai Lama
Image
I believe that the very purpose of our life is to seek happiness. That is clear. Whether one believes in religion or not, whether one believes in this religion or that religion, we all are seeking something better in life. So, I think, the very motion of our life is towards happiness.
Dalai Lama

If we make consistent effort, based on proper education, we can change the world.
Dalai Lama

Affection is important because it counters anger, hatred and suspicion that can prevent our minds from functioning clearly.
Dalai Lama
Image
I am simply just one monk. That's all.
Dalai Lama
Image
By being inattentive to the needs of others, inevitably we end up harming them.
Dalai Lama
Image
At the beginning of this century, people never questioned the effectiveness of war, never thought there could be real peace. Now, people are tired of war and see it as ineffective in solving anything.
Dalai Lama
Image
Live a good, honourable life. Then when you get older and look back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time.
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
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
World peace must develop from inner peace.

Happiness is the highest form of health.
