You can?t help someone just by making a wish to do so, you have to take action.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

To develop patience, you need someone who willfully hurts you. Such people give us real opportunities to practice tolerance. They test our inner strength in a way that even our guru cannot. Basically, patience protects us from being discouraged.

A sense of contentment is a key factor for attaining happiness

When we think carefully, we see that the brief elation we experience when appeasing sensual impulses may not be very different from what the drug addict feels when indulging his or her habit. Temporary relief is soon followed by a craving for more. And in just the same way that taking drugs in the end only causes trouble, so, too, does much of what we undertake to fulfill our immediate sensory desires.

An ethical act is one which does not harm others' experience or expectation of happiness.

Better grounded emotionally through patience, we become stronger mentally and spiritually, and tend to be healthier physically.

Through constant familiarity, we can definitely establish new behavior patterns, using our tendency to form habits to our advantage. If we make a steady effort, I think we can overcome any form of negative conditioning and make positive changes in our lives. But we need to remember that genuine change doesn't happen overnight.

Don't try to use what you learn from Buddhism to be a Buddhist; use it to be a better whatever-you-al ready-are.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

In our concern for others, we...

In our concern for others, we worry less about ourselves. When we worry less about ourselves an experience of our own suffering is less intense. What does this tell us? Firstly, because our every action has a universal dimension, a potential impact on others' happiness, ethics are necessary as a means to ensure that we do not harm others. Secondly, it tells us that genuine happiness consists in those spiritual qualities of love, compassion, patience, tolerance and forgiveness and so on. For it is these which provide both for our happiness and others' happiness.

I don't want to convert people to Buddhism - all major religions, when understood properly, have the same potential for good.

My religion is kindness. A good mind, a good heart, warm feelings these are the most important things.

Awareness of death is the very bedrock of the entire path. Until you have developed this awareness, all other practices are obstructed.

Even modern medical researchers have come to the conclusion that peace of mind is vital for good health.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

The first beneficiary of compassion is always oneself. When compassion, or warmheartedness, arises in us and our focus shifts away from our own narrow self-interest, it is as if we open an inner door. It reduces fear, boosts confidence and brings us inner strength. By reducing distrust, it opens us to others and brings us a sense of connection to others, and sense of purpose and meaning in life.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

The great benefit of science is that it can contribute tremendously to the alleviation of suffering at the physical level, but it is only through the cultivation of the qualities of the human heart and the transformation of our attitudes that we can begin to address and overcome our mental suffering...

If we can refrain from harming others in our actions & words, we can start to give serious attention to actively doing good.

There are five billion human beings and in a certain way I think we need five billion different religions.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

Each one of us is responsible for the whole of humankind. We need to think of each other really as brothers and sisters and to be concerned for each other’s welfare. Rather than working solely to acquire wealth, we need to do something meaningful, something directed seriously towards the welfare of humanity as a whole.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

When we consider reality itself we quickly become aware of its infinite complexity, and we realize that our habitual perception of it is often inadequate. If this were not so, the concept of deception would be meaningless.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

We all need basic human values rooted in trust and affection.
