Compassion Is Non-Violence

Serving and helping others out of compassion is non-violence in action.

Don't Let Your Emotions Destroy You

Most of our problems are related to the mind, so we have to work to reduce our destructive emotions.

Make Efforts Every Day

If we can refrain from harming others in our everyday actions and words, we can start to give more serious attention to actively doing good

Don't Place All Hope On Material Things

Placing all our hope on material development is clearly mistaken; the ultimate source of happiness is within us

Cultivate Concern For Others

If we can cultivate a concern for others, keeping in mind the oneness of humanity, we can build a more compassionate world.

Mere Prayer Not Enough

It’s unrealistic to think that the future of humanity can be achieved only on the basis of prayer. What we need is to take action.

Overcome Fear And Suspicion

Concern for others’ well-being reduces fear and suspicion, prompting the openness and transparency that gives rise to trust and friendship 

Turn Negative Into Positive

Anger, hatred and jealousy can never solve problems. Only affection, concern and respect can do that.

Non-Harming Is Non-Violence

Refraining from harm - not out of fear, but out of concern for others, their well-being and out of respect - is non-violence

Attitude Leads To Peace

Whether we are happy or not depends on our attitude; compassion, for instance, leads to a calmer mind.

Education, The First Step

Education is the way to achieve far-reaching results; it is the proper way to promote compassion and tolerance in society.

A Warm Heart Means Good Health

Healthy, happy families and a healthy peaceful nation are dependent on warm-heartedness.

Teach The Right Values

The challenge today is to convince people of the value of truth, honesty, compassion and a concern for others.

Let's Make It A Century Of Dialogue

To make this a century of dialogue, we need to find ways to promote a greater awareness of the oneness of humanity.

Focus On Children's Hearts Besides Brains

It is vital that when educating our children’s brains, we do not neglect to educate their hearts by nurturing their compassionate nature.

Become Trustworthy

If you are honest, truthful, and transparent, people trust you. If people trust you, you have no grounds for fear, suspicion or jealousy.

Happy Bday Dalai Lama 

One of my favourite quotes of him

What About Mental Hygiene?

Just as we encourage physical hygiene to preserve our health, we also need a sense of emotional or mental hygiene too.

It's About Teamwork

We live in a world in which we are dependent on others; we cannot expect to fulfil our goals while disregarding others’ needs.

Everyone Wants Peace and Happiness

We forget that despite the superficial differences between us, people are equal in their basic wish for peace and happiness.

Choose A Vegetarian Diet

People think of animals as if they were vegetables, and that is not right. We have to change the way people think about animals. I encourage the Tibetan people and all people to move toward a vegetarian diet that doesn’t cause suffering

Be Kind Always

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible

Happiness Depends On Your Actions

Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions.

Make It Meaningful

Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend or a meaningful day

Our Heart Is Our Temple

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

Love Is A Necessity

Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive 

Same Message In All Religions

All major religious traditions carry basically the same message - love, compassion and forgiveness. The important thing is that they should be part of our daily lives.

Be Content With What You Have

When you are discontent, you always want more, more, more. Your desire can never be satisfied. But when you practice contentment, you can say to yourself: Oh yes. I already have everything that I really need

Happiness Is The Purpose

The purpose of our lives is to be happy

Enemies Teach You Tolerance

In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher

Human Affection Vital For Survival

We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.

Be Grateful

When you practice gratefulness, there is a sense of respect toward others

Appreciate Goodness

The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness

Practice Compassion Any Which Way

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.

The Essence Of Spirituality

It is important to consider others at least as important as ourselves. This is the essence of spirituality.

Feel Happier

A number of people have said to me, after hearing my thinking, that their mind becomes much more happier, concludes the Dalai Lama. I sure hope fellow seekers feel totally refreshed, like a walk in the rain, after this talk with the adorable and simple spiritual leader...
