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
When we encounter suffering, it is important to respond w/ compassion rather than to question the politics of those we help.
Dalai Lama
Image
We are all, by nature, clearly oriented toward the basic human values of love and compassion. We all prefer the love of others to their hatred. We all prefer others’ generosity to meanness. And who is there among us who does not prefer tolerance, respect and forgiveness of our failings to bigotry, disrespect, and resentment?

Someone else's action should not determine your response.
Dalai Lama
Image
Refraining from harm, not out of fear, but out of concern for others, their well-being and out of respect is non-violence.

Our own brain, our own heart is our temple the philosophy is kindness.

Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.
Dalai Lama
Image
It seems that for some people the idea of compassion entails a complete disregard for or even a sacrifice of their own interests. This is not the case. In fact, you first of all have to have a wish to be happy yourself - if you don't love yourself like that, how can you love others?
Dalai Lama

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

Compassion naturally creates a positive atmosphere, and as a result you feel peaceful and content.
Dalai Lama

Pain can change you, but that doesn't mean it has to be a bad change. Take that pain and turn it into wisdom.
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
Not so long ago people believed in ideologies, systems, and institutions to save all societies. Today, they have given up such hopes and have returned to relying on the individual, on individual freedom, individual initiative, individual creativity.
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
Wherever I go meeting the public... spreading a message of human values, spreading a message of harmony, is the most important thing.
Dalai Lama
Image
Wealth is not necessarily a bad thing when it has been earned in an honest manner and neither other individuals nor the environment suffered for it.
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
A mind wishing to benefit other people and other sentient beings is the very basis of peace and happiness.
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
The motivation of all religious practice is similar: love, sincerity, honesty. The way of life of practically all religious persons is consistent. The teachings of tolerance, love, and compassion are the same.
