Tragedy should be utilized as a source of strength.

As far as ignorance is concerned, not just Buddhism, every religion recognizes it as the source of suffering.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

It is important not to allow ...

It is important not to allow ourselves to be put off by the magnitude of others' suffering. The misery of millions is not a cause for pity. Rather it is a cause for compassion.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

In spiritual growth, it is im...

In spiritual growth, it is important to avoid imbalances between academic or intellectual learning and practical implementation. Otherwise there is a danger that too much intellectualiza tion will kill the more contemplative practices and too much emphasis on practical implementation without study will kill the understanding. There has got to be a balance.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

The problem isn't materialism...

The problem isn't materialism as such. Rather it is the underlying assumption that full satisfaction can arise from gratifying the senses alone. Unlike animals whose quest for happiness is restricted to survival and to the immediate gratification of sensory desires, we human beings have the capacity to experience happiness at a deeper level which, when achieved, can overwhelm unhappy experiences.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

All religion teaches the virtues of love, altruism and patience, while showing us how to discipline and transform ourselves to achieve inner peace and a kind heart. Therefore, they are worthy of our respect.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

The only clear thing is that ...

The only clear thing is that we humans are the only species with the power to destroy the earth as we know it. The birds have no such power, nor do the insects, nor does any mammal. Yet if we have the capacity to destroy the earth, so, too, do we have the capacity to protect it.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

The key to genuine happiness ...

The key to genuine happiness is in our hands. To think this way is to discover the essential values of kindness, brotherly love and altruism. The more clearly we see the benefits of these values, the more we will seek to reject anything that opposes them; in this way we will be able to bring about inner transformation.

Sin contains its own judgement and punishment.

Our purpose in life is to be happy. From the very core of our being, we simply desire contentment.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

I hope that at this moment you are thinking of yourself as a human being rather than as an American, Asian, European, African, or member of any particular country. These loyalties are secondary.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

There is a saying in Tibetan ...

There is a saying in Tibetan that "at the door of the miserable rich man sleeps the contented beggar". The point of this saying is not that poverty is a virtue, but that happiness does not come with wealth, but from setting limits to one's desires, and living within those limits with satisfaction.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

Without freedom, creativity cannot flourish. The right to freedom is crucial to progress in any society; and the context is having a sense of global responsibility.

Our most valuable teachers are our enemies.While our friends can help us in many ways, only our enemies can provide us with the challenge we need to develop tolerance, patience, and compassionthree virtues essential for building character, developing peace of mind, and bringing us true happiness.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

One great question underlies ...

One great question underlies our experience, whether we think about it or not: what is the purpose of life? From the moment of birth every human being wants happiness and does not want suffering. Neither social conditioning nor education nor ideology affects this. >From the very core of our being, we simply desire contentment. Therefore, it is important to discover what will bring about the greatest degree of happiness.

The practicing of loving kindness toward one's enemy is the ultimate test of one's own spiritual attainment.

Love and Compassion are the true religions to me. But to develop this, we do not need to believe in any religion.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

External circumstances can contribute to one's happiness and well-being, but ultimately happiness and suffering depend on the mind.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

I think the person who has had more experience of hardships can stand more firmly in the face of problems than the person who has never experienced suffering. From this angle then, some suffering can be a good lesson for life.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

It is not enough to belong to a religion. You also have to put it into practice. Religion is like medicine. You have to ingest it to combat the illness.
