More quotes by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
Whenever we practise meditation, whether or not our meditation is clear, we are performing a virtuous mental action that is a cause of our future happiness and peace of mind.
Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
When we look at external things, we can usually distinguish those that are useful and valuable from those that are not. We must learn to look at our mind in the same way.
Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
Compassion is a Shepherd, Always tending his herd.
Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
Patient acceptance is often considered a weak and passive response to problems that we do not have the power or courage to solve. In reality, however, being patient is far from being passive. There is nothing strong or courageous in reacting to hardship or insults with anger - all we are doing is being defeated by our delusions.
Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
I have not met one living being that has not been the mother of all the rest.
Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
Many people are very intelligent in accomplishing worldly attainments. This intelligence is not wisdom because worldly attainments such as a high position, reputation, wealth and success in business are deceptive. If we die tomorrow they will disappear tomorrow, and nothing will be left for our future. Wisdom, however, will never deceive us.

Learning to cherish others is the best solution to our daily problems, and it is the source of all our future happiness and good fortune.
Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
One of the most common ways of not acknowledging our faults is to blame others.
Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
Right now we have obtained a human rebirth and have the opportunity to attain enlightenment through Dharma practice, so if we waste this precious opportunity in meaningless activities there is no greater loss and no greater foolishness.
Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
When a jealous person sees signs of other people's success and good fortune, his heart is pierced with envy. But someone who has learned to rejoice in the good fortune of others experiences only happiness. Seeing another person's beautiful house or attractive partner immediately makes him happy - the fact that they are not his own is irrelevant.
Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
Everything we now enjoy has been provided through the kindness of other beings, past or present.
Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
Developing compassion and wisdom and helping those in need is the true meaning of life.
