More quotes by Dalai Lama
Compassion, along with love, is the face of altruism.
Dalai Lama
I really do not want to carry some kind of party function.
Dalai Lama
I totally disagree with the view that the Tibet struggle will die, and there will be no hope for Tibet, after the Dalai Lama passes away.
Dalai Lama
When we develop a right attitude of compassion and gratitude, we take a giant step towards solving our personal and international problems
Dalai Lama
Real power has to do with one's ability to influence the hearts and minds of others.

All sentient beings have the seed of the Buddha within them.
Dalai Lama
According to Buddhist practice, there are three stages or steps. The initial stage is to reduce attachment towards life. The second stage is the elimination of desire and attachment to this samsara. Then in the third stage, self-cherishing is eliminated
Dalai Lama
It seems to me that self confidence and the ability to stand one's ground are essential if we want to succeed in life. I am not talking of stupid self-assurance but of an awareness of our inner potential, a certainty that we can always correct our behavior, improve ourselves, enrich ourselves, and that things are never hopeless
Dalai Lama
Without love we could not survive. Human beings are social creatures, and a concern for each other is the very basis of our life together.
Dalai Lama
Basically, the Buddhist attitude is that you should not accept certain things through sheer faith. And for that you need a skeptical attitude. Buddha himself made this clear to his followers. He said you should not accept those things I taught out of respect for me, but rather through investigation by yourself.
Dalai Lama
So our future is in our own hands. What greater free will do we need?
Dalai Lama
Calm mind brings inner strength and self-confidence, so that's very important for good health.
Dalai Lama
Love and Compassion are the true religions to me. But to develop this, we do not need to believe in any religion.
Dalai Lama
Religion, any religion, no matter what sort of wonderful religion, never be universal. So now education is universal, so we have to sort of find ways and means through education system, from kindergarten up to university level, to make awareness these good things, the values, inner values.
Dalai Lama
The foundation of the Buddha's teachings lies in compassion, and the reason for practicing the teachings is to wipe out the persistence of ego, the number-one enemy of compassion.
Dalai Lama
By deceiving one another through false assumptions and misrepresentations there has been, in reality, a great lapse and delay in achieving the real goals.
Dalai Lama
Compassion naturally creates a positive atmosphere, and as a result you feel peaceful and content.
Dalai Lama
I consider others as just brothers and sisters. Nothing barrier.
Dalai Lama
It is crucial that we realize the great value of human existence, the opportunity and the potential that our brief lives afford us. It is only as humans that we have the possibility of implementing changes in our lives.
Dalai Lama
It helps remove whatever fears or insecurities we may have and gives us the strength to cope with any obstacles we encounter. It is the principal source of success in life. Since we are not solely material creatures, it is a mistake to place all our hopes for happiness on external development alone. The key is to develop inner peace.
