It is worthwhile for one to make an effort to achieve happiness. Just as the purpose of a plant is to grow, so it is that the main purpose of every human being is to survive and to grow until death.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

There should be a spirit of dialogue. Whenever we see any disagreements, we must think how to solve them on the basis of recognition of oneness of the entire humanity. This is the modern reality.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

When a certain community is de...

When a certain community is destroyed, in reality it destroys a part of all of us. So there should be a clear recognition that the entire humanity is just one family. Any conflict within humanity should be considered as a family conflict. We must find a solution within this atmosphere.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

As far as mental development i...

As far as mental development is concerned, we should never be complacent. We can develop our minds infinitely - there is no limitation.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

There are differences between ...

There are differences between us. But it doesn't make sense to emphasize that, because my future and yours is connected with everyone else's. So we have to take seriously our concern for all of humanity. When we focus on our individuality, humanity inevitably suffers. And once humanity suffers, each one of us will also suffer.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

When I look at birds and anima...

When I look at birds and animals, their survival is without rules, without conditions, without organization. But mothers take good care of their offspring. That's nature. In human beings also, parents - particularly mothers - and children have a special bond. Mother's milk is a sign of this affection. We are created that way. The child's survival is entirely dependent on someone else's affection. So, basically, each individual's survival or future depends on society. We need these human values.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

We must realize that it is bes...

We must realize that it is best to focus on our oneness, to re emphasize what is the same about each of us rather than dwell on what is different.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

Whether we love humanity or no...

Whether we love humanity or not, we must realize that we are part of it. My future depends entirely on the future of humanity, and so I am compelled to take care of humanity. That is why being compassionate is actually in my own best interest. And a symptom of my own peace of mind is that I can share comfort with others around me.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

The way of presentation is dif...

The way of presentation is different according to each religion. In theistic religions like Buddhism, Buddhist values are incorporated. In nontheistic religions, like some types of ancient Indian thought, the law of karma applies. If you do something good, you get a good result. Now, what we need is a way to educate nonbelievers. These nonbelievers may be critical of all religions, but they should be decent at heart.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

I think when religions such as...

I think when religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism - as well as Christianity and Judaism - were founded, at that time societies were generally male-dominated. So, therefore this social notion also influenced religion.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

Meditation is valuable for all...

Meditation is valuable for all of humanity because it involves looking inward. People don't have to be religious to look inside themselves more carefully. It is constructive and worthwhile to analyze our emotions, including compassion and our sense of caring, so that we can become more calm and happy.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

Hatred, jealousy, and fear hin...

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

I don't take myself too seriou...

I don't take myself too seriously! That makes me happy.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

On those days when I can spend a few hours getting some understanding, I feel fulfilled. I feel as if I have made good use of my time.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

The Buddha gave equal opportunities to women. But we, even as followers of Buddha, neglected that.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

I have never been any place where I was not first invited. And upon invitation, if I feel that there is potential for making some contribution to humanity, I will comply in spite of being tired.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

I think, that in the twenty-second century, there will be more female reincarnations at female institutions. Then there'll be competition between male lama institutions and female lama institutions. It'll be a positive sort of competition.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

If I were to die today, I would have some concern for Tibet. But I know that I have personally done as much as I can to use my existence for others. So I have no regret.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

I make small mistakes every day. But major mistakes? It doesn't seem so. I've examined my service to the Tibetan people and to humanity, and I've done as much as I can in my life.

Altruism is the best source of happiness. There is no doubt about that.
