Irrespective of whether we are believers or agnostics, whether we believe in God or karma, moral ethics is a code which everyone is able to pursue.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

All major religious traditions...

All major religious traditions carry basically the same message that is love, compassion and forgiveness the important thing is they should be part of our daily lives.' Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.' This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.

Peace does not mean an absence...

Peace does not mean an absence of conflicts; differences will always be there. Peace means solving these differences through peaceful means; through dialogue, education, knowledge; and through humane ways.

As soon as I wake up I pay homage to the Buddha, and I try to prepare my mind to be more altruistic, more compassionate, during the day to come so I can be of benefit to beings. Then I do physical exersice - I walk on a treadmill.

Do something that scares you every day. You have nothing to lose but fear itself.

Look at children...
If they feel angry with someone,
they express it, and then it is finished.
They can still play with that person the following day.

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

The practice of patience guards us against losing our presence of mind. It enables us to remain undisturbed, even when the situation is really difficult. It gives us a certain amount of inner peace, which allows us some self-control, so that we can choose to respond to situations in an appropriate and compassionate manner, rather than being driven by our disturbing emotions.

If we lose our hope, that's our real disaster!

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

Patience as we wait to take action is a kind of compassionate mind. Impatience on the other hand can be a source of failure.

In order to be happy we must first possess inner contentment; and inner contentment doesn't come from having all we want; but rather from wanting and appreciating being grateful for all we have.

The fact that there is always a positive side to life is the one thing that gives me a lot of happiness.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

Whenever I visit a market and see the chickens crowded together in tiny cages that give them no room to move around and spread their wings and the fish slowly drowning in the air, my heart goes out to them. People have to learn to think about animals in a different way, as sentient beings who love life and fear death. I urge everyone who can to adopt a compassionate vegetarian diet.

Change only takes place through action, not through meditation and prayer.

Morally speaking, we should be concerned for our whole environment.

The more adept we become at cultivating an altruistic attitude, the happier we will feel and the more comfortable will be the atmosphere around us. But if our emotions fluctuate wildly and we easily give in to hatred and jealousy, even our friends will avoid us. So even for people with no spiritual beliefs, it is important to have a peaceful mind.

The need for love lies at the very foundation of human existence.

Genuine happiness and compassion go hand in hand.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

Once we have a firm practice of compassion our state of mind becomes stronger which leads to inner peace, giving rise to self-confidence, which reduces fear. This makes for constructive members of the community. Self-centredness on the other hand leads to distance, suspicion, mistrust and loneliness, with unhappiness as the result.
