The ultimate source of my men...

The ultimate source of my mental happiness is my peace of mind. Nothing can destroy this except my own anger.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

Sensory experience does not o...

Sensory experience does not offset the intense pain or pleasure we feel on a mental level; it may distract us, but doesn't overcome it. On the other hand, if we have peace of mind, even negative experiences do not upset us. Peace of mind is also good for our physical health. Medical experts have found that anger, hatred and fear eat into our immune system. Being calm and relaxed is better for our physical well-being.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

I have come to the conclusion...

I have come to the conclusion that whether or not a person is a religious believer does not matter. Far more important is that they be a good human being.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

The essence of compassion is ...

The essence of compassion is a desire to alleviate the suffering of others and to promote their well-being

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

Nowadays the world is becomin...

Nowadays the world is becoming increasingly materialistic, and mankind is reaching toward the very zenith of external progress, driven by an insatiable desire for power and vast possessions. Yet by this vain striving for perfection in a world where everything is relative,they wander even further away from inward peace and happiness of the mind.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

The foundation of the Buddha'...

The foundation of the Buddha's teachings lies in compassion, and the reason for practicing the teachings is to wipe out the persistence of ego, the number-one enemy of compassion.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

I believe the ultimate source...

I believe the ultimate source of blessings is within us. A good motivation and honesty bring self-confidence , which attracts the trust and respect of others. Therefore the real source of blessings is in our own mind.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

Happiness is determined more ...

Happiness is determined more by one's state of mind than by external events.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

The purpose of all the major ...

The purpose of all the major religious traditions is not to construct big temples on the outside, but to create temples of goodness and compassion inside, in our hearts.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

The quality of everything we ...

The quality of everything we do: our physical actions, our verbal actions, and even our mental actions, depends on our motivation. That's why it's important for us to examine our motivation in our day to day life. If we cultivate respect for others and our motivation is sincere, if we develop a genuine concern for others’ well-being, then all our actions will be positive.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

pain is inevitable,suffering ...

pain is inevitable,suffering is optional... we have bigger houses,but smaller families. More conveniences,but less time. We have knowledge,but less judgements; more experts,but more problems ; more medicines but less health.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

Time passes unhindered. When ...

Time passes unhindered. When we make mistakes, we cannot turn the clock back and try again. All we can do is use the present well.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

Our world and our lives have ...

Our world and our lives have become increasingly interdependent, so when our neighbour is harmed, it affects us too. Therefore we have to abandon outdated notions of 'them' and 'us' and think of our world much more in terms of a great 'US', a greater human family.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

A good friend who points out ...

A good friend who points out mistakes and imperfections and rebukes evil is to be respected as if he reveals the secret of some hidden treasure.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

Inner values like friendship,...

Inner values like friendship, trust, honesty and compassion are much more reliable than money - they always bring happiness and strength.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

Don't use Buddhism to become ...

Don't use Buddhism to become a Buddhist. Use Buddhism to become better at whatever else in your life you are doing already.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

If we ourselves remain angry ...

If we ourselves remain angry and then sing world peace, it has little meaning. First, our individual self must learn peace.
This we can practice. Then we can teach the rest of the world.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

If we looked down at the worl...

If we looked down at the world from space, we would not see any demarcations of national boundaries. We would simply see one small planet, just one.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

As a Buddhist, I view death a...

As a Buddhist, I view death as a normal process, a reality that I accept will occur as long as I remain in this earthly existence. Knowing that I cannot escape it, I see no point in worrying about it. I tend to think of death as being like changing your clothes when they are old and worn out, rather than as some final end. Yet death is unpredictable: We do not know when or how it will take place. So it is only sensible to take certain precautions before it actually happens.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

World peace must develop from...

World peace must develop from inner peace. Peace is not just mere absence of violence. Peace is, I think, the manifestation of human compassion.
