Neither a space station nor an enlightened mind can be realized in a day.
Dalai Lama
Image
I believe that the basic nature of human beings is gentle and compassionate. It is therefore in our own interest to encourage that nature, to make it live within us, to leave room for it to develop. If on the contrary we use violence, it is as if we voluntarily obstruct the positive side of human nature and prevent its evolution.
Dalai Lama
Image
Peace is not just the mere absence of violence or disturbance. It's when there is a possibility of conflict, but you deliberately avoid violence and adopt methods to solve the problem through peaceful means. That is real peace.
Dalai Lama
Image
Compassion, along with love, is the face of altruism.
Dalai Lama
Image
Harmony can not thrive in a climate of mistrust, cheating, bullying mean-spirited competition.
Dalai Lama
Image
When you are discontent, you always want more, more, more. Your desire can never be satisfied. But when you practice contentment, you can say to yourself, 'Oh yes - I already have everything that I really need.'
Dalai Lama
Image
To be aware of a single shortcoming within oneself is more useful than to be aware of a thousand in somebody else. Rather than speaking badly about people and in ways that will produce friction and unrest in their lives, we should practice a purer perception of them, and when we speak of others, speak of their good qualities.
Dalai Lama
Image
If you can cultivate wholesome mental states prior to sleep and allow them to continue right into sleep without getting distracted, then sleep itself becomes wholesome.

In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don't bring up the past.
Dalai Lama
Image
Climate change has been immense difficulties of pains or illness or hard life on this planet. So through that way, you have sense of concern of the well being, not sky, not just the environment itself.
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
Even within one person, yesterday and today, there are differences. We must look at a deeper level.
Dalai Lama
Image
Look at situations from all angles, and you will become more open.
Dalai Lama
Image
In order to be happy we must first possess inner contentment and inner contentment doesn't come from having all we want but rather from wanting and appreciating being grateful for all we have.
Dalai Lama
Image
My message is always the same: to cultivate and practice love, kindness, compassion and tolerance.
Dalai Lama
Image
A compassionate attitude helps you communicate more easily with your fellow human beings. As a result, you make more genuine friends and the atmosphere around you is more positive, which gives you greater inner strength. This inner strength helps you spontaneously concern yourself with others, instead of thinking only about yourself.
Dalai Lama
Image
Whenever there is a challenge, there is also an opportunity to face it, to demonstrate and develop our will and determination.
Dalai Lama
Image
Our greatest duty and our main responsibility is to help others. But please, if you can't help them, would you please not hurt them.
Dalai Lama
