My hope and wish is that one day, formal education will pay attention to what I call 'education of the heart'.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

Compassion is one of the prin...

Compassion is one of the principal things that make our lives meaningful. It is the source of all lasting happiness and joy.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

The simple recognition that e...

The simple recognition that everyone else wants to be happy and not to suffer, just as I do, serves as a constant reminder against selfishness and partiality. It reminds us there is little to be gained from being kind and generous while hoping to win something in return. Actions motivated by a desire to earn a good name for ourselves are still selfish, even if they appear to be acts of kindness.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

Self-discipline, although dif...

Self-discipline, although difficult, and not always easy while combating negative emotions, should be a defensive measure.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

I want to show that there are...

I want to show that there are indeed some universal ethical principles which could help everyone to achieve the happiness we all aspire to.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

People often expect the other...

People often expect the other person to respond first in a positive way, instead of taking the initiative to create that possibility. I feel that's wrong; it can act as a barrier that just promotes a feeling of isolation from others. To overcome feelings of isolation and loneliness, your underlying attitude makes a tremendous difference - approaching others with the thought of compassion in your mind is the best way.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

As human beings we are all the same. We have this marvelous intelligence, which sometimes creates problems for us, but when influenced by warm-heartedness can be very constructive. In this context we need to appreciate the value of having moral principles.

Universal responsibility is the key to human survival. It is the best foundation for world peace.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

One of the most effective ways to overcome anxiety is to try to shift the focus of attention away from self and toward others.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

What acts as a far more effec...

What acts as a far more effective circumstance for generating compassion and what, in fact, rouses us from our comfortable meditation seat is actually seeing or hearing others - encountering others directly, not just conceptually in our imagination.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

Not only can I not recall my experiences in my previous lives, sometimes I can't even remember what I did yesterday.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

A zero itself is nothing, but...

A zero itself is nothing, but without a zero you cannot count anything; therefore, a zero is something, yet zero.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

While it is all very well to ...

While it is all very well to distinguish happiness that is transient from that which is lasting, between ephemeral and genuine happiness, the only happiness it is meaningful to speak of when a person is dying from thirst is access to water.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

Happiness that depends mainly...

Happiness that depends mainly on physical pleasure is unstable; one day it's there, the next day it may not be.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

A spoon cannot taste of the food it carries. Likewise, a foolish man cannot understand the wise man?s wisdom even if he associates with a sage.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

There are a number of qualities which are important for mental peace, but from the little experience I have, I believe that one of the most important factors is human compassion and affection: a sense of caring.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

If you young people who today...

If you young people who today belong to the first generation of the 21st century make an effort now, you may be able to create a happier, more peaceful world. But you can't take for granted that it will happen by itself, you'll need to take action.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

If you have only education an...

If you have only education and knowledge and a lack of the other side, then you may not be a happy person, but a person of mental unrest, of frustration. Not only that, but if you combine these two, your whole life will be a constructive and happy life. And certainly you can make immense benefit for society and the betterment of humanity. That is one of my fundamental beliefs: that a good heart, a warm heart, a compassionate heart, is still teachable.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

The basis of human rights is ...

The basis of human rights is happy life. Everyone wants to lead a happy life for which we need to have a holistic approach.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

I request you to try to be warm-hearted. I ask this of you because these mental attitudes actually bring us happiness.
