Image
I consider others as just brothers and sisters. Nothing barrier.
Dalai Lama
Image
It is my fundamental belief that all human beings share the same basic aspirations: that we all want hapiness and that we all share suffering. Asians, just like Americans, Europeans, and the rest of the world, share a desire to live life to its fullest, to better ourselves and the lives of our loved ones.
Dalai Lama
Image
Even within one person, yesterday and today, there are differences. We must look at a deeper level.
Dalai Lama
Image
War is out of date, obsolete.
Dalai Lama
Image
Life is as dear to a mute creature as it is to man. Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not die, so do other creatures.
Dalai Lama
Image
Altruism is the best source of happiness. There is no doubt about that.
Dalai Lama
Image
Humans are not machines-we are something more. We have feeling and experience. Material comforts are not sufficient to satisfy us. We need something deeper-human affection.
Dalai Lama
Image
I always emphasize that it is much safer and better to keep one's own religious faith. The other major religions are thousands of years old and have long traditions.
Dalai Lama
Image
If we develop concern for other people's welfare, share other people's suffering, and help them, ultimately we will benefit. If we think only of ourselves and forget about others, ultimately we will lose. The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater our own sense of well-being becomes.
Dalai Lama
Image
My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.
Dalai Lama
Image
I am the source of my own suffering, because of the habits of my mind.
Dalai Lama
Image
See the positive side, the potential, and make an effort.
Dalai Lama
Image
I have been confronted with many difficulties throughout the course of my life, and my country is going through a critical period. But I laugh often, and my laughter is contagious. When people ask me how I find the strength to laugh now, I reply that I am a professional laugher.

Education is the best way to train ourselves that we will secure our own well-being by concerning ourselves with others. It is possible to create a better world, a more compassionate, more peaceful world, which is not only in everyone’s interest, but is everyone’s responsibility to achieve.
Dalai Lama
Image
The message of love and compassion will travel far and wide if all who follow a spiritual path work together in harmony and mutual respect.
Dalai Lama
Image
The antidote to hatred in the heart, the source of violence, is tolerance.
Dalai Lama
Image
In today's highly interdependent world, individuals and nations can no longer resolve many of their problems by themselves. We need one another. It is our collective and individual responsibility to protect and nurture the global family, to support its weaker members, and to preserve and tend to the environment in which we all live.
Dalai Lama
Image
Compassion and love is the source of external and internal peace and is also the root of racial survival.
Dalai Lama
Image
I met an American lady many years ago, much distant. Then I told her about my own difficult experiences and I showed some genuine concern. She responded, Why are you so concerned about me? We need more patience. At a fundamental level, we are the same human brothers and sisters. Then forget it. The human mind is very strange. Like that.
Dalai Lama

It is a wonderful thing if one can use one's place of work as a place of spiritual practice as well.
