Image
To the extent that our experience of suffering reminds us of what everyone else also endures, it serves as a powerful inspiration to practice compassion and avoid causing others pain. And to the extent that suffering awakens our empathy and causes us to connect with others, it serves as the basis of compassion and love.

Always engage yourself positively with situations.

Image
In today's materialistic world there is a risk of people becoming slaves to money, as though they were simply cogs in a huge money-making machine. This does nothing for human dignity, freedom, and genuine well-being. Wealth should serve humanity, and not the other way around.
Dalai Lama

Anger and hatred lead to fear compassion and concern for others allow us to develop self-confidence, which breeds trust and friendship.

World peace must develop from inner peace.

When you engage in fulfilling the needs of others, your own needs are fulfilled as a by-product.

We live within the environment. So that directly relates with our survival, our life. So through that way, more concern of well being of humanity, then naturally concerned about environment.
Dalai Lama

No material object, however beautiful or valuable, can make us feel loved, because our deeper identity and true character lie in the subjective nature of the mind.
Dalai Lama
Image
Even when a person has all of life's comforts - good food, good shelter, a companion - he or she can still become unhappy when encountering a tragic situation.
Dalai Lama
Image
Human beings are of such nature that they should have not only material facilities but spiritual sustenance as well. Without spiritual sustenance, it is difficult to get and maintain peace of mind.
Dalai Lama
Image
Human beings are not intrinsically selfish, which isolates us from others. We are essentially social animals who depend on others to meet our needs. We achieve happiness, prosperity and progress through social interaction. Therefore, having a kind and helpful attitude contributes to our own and others' happiness.
Dalai Lama
Image
Everything is interconnected. My interest is linked to everyone else's. Our survival and future are linked. Therefore the destruction of your so-called enemy is actually the destruction of your self.
Dalai Lama
Image
By developing a sense of concern for others' well-being, then no matter what others' attitudes are, you can keep inner peace.
Dalai Lama
Image
Each one of us is responsible for the whole of humankind. We need to think of each other really as brothers and sisters and to be concerned for each other’s welfare. Rather than working solely to acquire wealth, we need to do something meaningful, something directed seriously towards the welfare of humanity as a whole.
Dalai Lama
Image
In the modern world, the interests of a particular community can no longer be considered to lie within the confines of its own boundaries.
Dalai Lama
Image
True friendship develops not as a result of money or power but on the basis of genuine human affection.
Dalai Lama
Image
It is not only our right as members of the global human family to protest when our brothers and sisters are being treated brutally, but it is also our duty to do whatever we can to hep them.
Dalai Lama
Image
Unlike an external enemy, the inner enemy cannot regroup and launch a comeback once it has been destroyed from within.
Dalai Lama
Image
Reincarnation is not an exclusively Hindu or Buddhist concept, but it is part of the history of human origin. It is proof of the mindstream's capacity to retain knowledge of physical and mental activities. It is related to the theory of interdependent origination and to the law of cause and effect.

Developing love and compassion and reducing anger and spite is a universal activity which requires no faith in any religion whatsoever
