I think there's every reason this 21st century will be much happier.
Dalai Lama
Image
Anger, jealousy, impatience, and hatred are the real troublemakers, with them problems cannot be solved.
Dalai Lama
Image
Hatred, jealousy, and fear hinder peace of mind. When you're angry or unforgiving, for example, your mental suffering is constant. It is better to forgive than to spoil your peace of mind with ill feelings.
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
I believe all suffering is caused by ignorance.
Dalai Lama
Image
Of course, when I say that human nature is gentleness, it is not 100 percent so. Every human being has that nature, but there are many people acting against their nature, being false.
Dalai Lama
Image
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
Image
Love and compassion benefit both ourselves and others. Through kindness to others, your heart and mind will be peaceful and open.
Dalai Lama
Image
If we have no inner peace, we deceive ourselves into thinking that comfort and prosperity will bring happiness.
Dalai Lama
Image
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
Image
Warm-heartedne ss and concern for others’ well-being are a condition for happiness, whether you are religious or not.
Dalai Lama
Image
The real test of compassion is not what we say in abstract discussions but how we conduct ourselves in daily life.
Dalai Lama
Image
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
Image
The basic Buddhist stand on the question of equality between the genders is age-old. At the highest tantric levels, at the highest esoteric level, you must respect women: every woman.
Dalai Lama
Image
Whether someone believes something or not, believer or non-believer, as long as you are a member of the human family, you need warm human feeling, warmhearted feeling.
Dalai Lama
Image
Our love could change the orbit of the earth. So, if a meteor ever comes hurtling towards earth with the guarantee of destruction, top scientists may call on us to, well, you know, do it like crazy for the sake of humankind.
Dalai Lama
Image
The very purpose of religion is to control yourself, not to criticize others. Rather, we must criticize ourselves. How much am I doing about my anger? About my attachment, about my hatred, about my pride, my jealousy? These are the things which we must check in daily life.
Dalai Lama
Image
If we adopt a self-centered approach to life, by which we attempt to use others for our own self interest, we might be able to gain temporary benefits, but in the long run we will not succeed in achieving even our personal happiness, and hope for the next life is out of the question.
Dalai Lama
Image
Every human should have the idea of taking care of the environment, of nature, of water. So using too much or wasting water should have some kind of feeling or sense of concern. Some sort of responsibility and with that, a sense of discipline.
Dalai Lama
Image
On those days when I can spend a few hours getting some understanding, I feel fulfilled. I feel as if I have made good use of my time.
