Hatred, jealousy, and fear hi...

Hatred, jealousy, and fear hinder peace of mind. When you're angry or unforgiving, for example, your mental suffering is constant. It is better to forgive than to spoil your peace of mind with ill feelings.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

A good motivation is what is ...

A good motivation is what is needed: compassion without dogmatism, without complicated philosophy; just understanding that others are human brothers and sisters and respecting their human rights and dignities. That we humans can help each other is one of our unique human capacities.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

Basically, the Buddhist attit...

Basically, the Buddhist attitude is that you should not accept certain things through sheer faith. And for that you need a skeptical attitude. Buddha himself made this clear to his followers. He said you should not accept those things I taught out of respect for me, but rather through investigation by yourself.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

Self satisfaction alone canno...

Self satisfaction alone cannot determine if a desire or action is positive or negative. The demarcation between a positive and a negative desire or action is not whether it gives you a immediate feeling of satisfaction, but whether it ultimately results in positive or negative consequences.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

There are two kinds of satisf...

There are two kinds of satisfaction or happiness: one mainly through mental peace; another physical comfort

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

Because we all share an identical need for love, it is possible to feel that anybody we meet, in whatever circumstances, is a brother or sister.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

It is the enemy who can truly teach us to practice the virtues of compassion and tolerance.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

Everyone wants to be happy; h...

Everyone wants to be happy; happiness is a right. And while on a secondary level differences exist of nationality, faith, family background, social status and so on, more important is that on a human level we are the same. None of us wants to face problems, and yet we create them by stressing our differences. If we see each other just as fellow human beings, there'll be no basis for fighting or conflict between us.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

Each of us in our own way can...

Each of us in our own way can try to spread compassion into people's hearts. Western civilizations these days place great importance on filling the human brain with knowledge, but no one seems to care about filling the human heart with compassion. This is what the real role of religion is.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

Every morning when I wake up,...

Every morning when I wake up, I dedicate myself to helping others to find peace of mind. Then, when I meet people, I think of them as long term friends; I don't regard others as strangers.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

It is important to direct our intelligence with good intentions. Without intelligence, we cannot accomplish very much. Without good intentions, the way we exercise of our intelligence may have destructive results.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

I always tell my Western frie...

I always tell my Western friends that it is best to keep your own tradition. Changing religion is not easy and sometimes causes confusion. You must value your tradition and honor your own religion.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

If there are sound reasons or...

If there are sound reasons or bases for the points you demand, then there is no need for violence. On the other hand, when there is no sound reason that concessions should be made to you but mainly your own desire, then reason cannot work and you have to rely on force. Thus using force is not a sign of strength but rather a sign of weakness.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

The proper use of our intelligence and knowledge is to effect changes from within to develop a good heart.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

Peace? starts within each one of us. When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those around us.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

Freedom is the real source of human happiness and creativity. Irrespective of whether you are a believer or nonbeliever, whether Buddhist, Christian, or Jew, the important thing is to be a good human being.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

If we have no inner peace, we deceive ourselves into thinking that comfort and prosperity will bring happiness.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

Once a year go somewhere you have never been before.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

By far the single greatest danger facing humankind - in fact, all living beings on our planet - is the threat of nuclear destruction.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

Where there is a mind, there ...

Where there is a mind, there are feelings such as pain, pleasure, and joy. No sentient being wants pain: all wants happiness instead.
