I am not promoting Buddhism. I am promoting human values.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

Compassion is of little value ...

Compassion is of little value if it just remains an idea. It must motivate how we respond to others and be reflective in all our thoughts and actions

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

If your mental attitude is pos...

If your mental attitude is positive, even when threats abound, you won't lose your inner peace. On the other hand, if your mind is negative, marked by fear, suspicion and feelings of helplessness, even among your best friends, in a pleasant atmosphere and comfortable surroundings, you won't be happy.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

When we speak of a calm state ...

When we speak of a calm state of mind or peace of mind, we shouldn't confuse that with an insensitive state of apathy. Having a calm or peaceful state of mind doesn't mean being spaced out or completely empty. Peace of mind or a calm state of mind is rooted in affection and compassion and is sensitive and responsive to others.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

Study and practice are both ve...

Study and practice are both very important, but they must go hand in hand. Faith without knowledge is not sufficient. Faith needs to be supported by reason. However intellectual understanding that is not applied in practice is also of little use. Whatever we learn from study we need to apply sincerely in our daily lives.

A generous heart and wholesome actions lead to greater peace.

Every man has the basis of good. Not only human beings, you can find it among animals and insects, for instance, when we treat a dog or horse lovingly.

In most cases, my visits to the West are for promotion of human values and religious harmony.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

Attention-yes! That's present!...

Attention-yes! That's present! And present, you see, makes past and future.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

When there is too much stress or worry, look within.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

If you can do something about ...

If you can do something about a situation, why worry? And if you can't do something about a situation, why worry?

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

Given the scale of life in the...

Given the scale of life in the cosmos, one human life is no more than a tiny blip. Each one of us is a just visitor to this planet, a guest, who will only stay for a limited time. What greater folly could there be than to spend this short time alone, unhappy or in conflict with our companions? Far better, surely, to use our short time here in living a meaningful life, enriched by our sense of connection with others and being of service to them.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

A calm mind helps our human intelligence to assess the situation realistically.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

I don't think human affection ...

I don't think human affection and compassion are just religious concerns; they're indispensable factors in our day-to-day lives.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

Once you encourage the thought...

Once you encourage the thought of compassion in your mind, once it becomes active, then your attitude towards others changes automatically.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

Looking at the pattern of our ...

Looking at the pattern of our existence from birth to death, we can see the way in which we are fundamentally nurtured by other's affection.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

I think that ethical behaviour is another feature of the kind of inner discipline that leads to a happier existence.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

The real troublemakers are ang...

The real troublemakers are anger, jealousy, impatience, and hatred. With them, problems cannot be solved. Though we may have temporary success, ultimately our hatred or anger will create futher difficulties. Anger makes for swift solutions. Yet, when we face problems with compassion, sincerity, and good motivation, our solutions may take longer, but ultimately they are better.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

We don't need more money, we d...

We don't need more money, we don't need greater success or fame, we don't need the perfect body or even the perfect mate-right now, at this very moment, we have a mind, which is all the basic equipment we need to achieve complete happiness.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

We forget that despite the sup...

We forget that despite the superficial differences between us, people are equal in their basic wish for peace and happiness.
