Dalai Lama- "To conquer oneself is a greater victory than to conquer thousands in a battle."
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Dalai Lama
Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.
Dalai Lama
If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them.
Dalai Lama
Spend some time alone every day.
Dalai Lama
If you don’t love yourself, you cannot love others. You will not be able to love others. If you have no compassion for yourself then you are not able of developing compassion for others.
Dalai Lama
In our struggle for freedom, truth is the only weapon we possess.
Dalai Lama
To conquer oneself is a greater victory than to conquer thousands in a battle.
Dalai Lama
I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe.
Dalai Lama
With realization of one’s own potential and self-confidence in one’s ability, one can build a better world.
Dalai Lama
If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.
Dalai Lama
Open your arms to change, but don´t let go of your values.
Dalai Lama
In the practice of tolerance, one’s enemy is the best teacher.
Dalai Lama
It is very important to generate a good attitude, a good heart, as much as possible. From this, happiness in both the short term and the long term for both yourself and others will come.
Dalai Lama
My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.
Dalai Lama
There is a saying in Tibetan, “Tragedy should be utilized as a source of strength.”
No matter what sort of difficulties, how painful experience is, if we lose our hope, that’s our real disaster.
Dalai Lama
Through violence, you may ‘solve’ one problem, but you sow the seeds for another.
Dalai Lama
The ultimate authority must always rest with the individual’s own reason and critical analysis.
Dalai Lama
Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
Dalai Lama
Sleep is the best meditation.
Dalai Lama
The purpose of our lives is to be happy.
Dalai Lama
The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness.
Dalai Lama
If you have fear of some pain or suffering, you should examine whether there is anything you can do about it. If you can, there is no need to worry about it; if you cannot do anything, then there is also no need to worry.
Dalai Lama
There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies. My brain and my heart are my temples; my philosophy is kindness.
Dalai Lama
We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.
Dalai Lama
We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.
Dalai Lama
Where ignorance is our master, there is no possibility of real peace.
Dalai Lama
When we are young and again when we are old, we depend heavily on the affection of others. Between these stages we usually feel that we can do everything without help from others and that other people’s affection is simply not important. But at this stage I think it is very important to keep deep human affection.
Dalai Lama
Human potential is the same for all. Your feeling, “I am of no value”, is wrong. Absolutely wrong. You are deceiving yourself. We all have the power of thought – so what are you lacking? If you have willpower, then you can change anything. It is usually said that you are your own master.
Dalai Lama
Sometimes one creates a dynamic impression by saying something, and sometimes one creates as significant an impression by remaining silent.
Dalai Lama
To be aware of a single shortcoming within oneself is more useful than to be aware of a thousand in somebody else. Rather than speaking badly about people and in ways that will produce friction and unrest in their lives, we should practice a purer perception of them, and when we speak of others, speak of their good qualities.
Dalai Lama
We must recognize that the suffering of one person or one nation is the suffering of humanity. That the happiness of one person or nation is the happiness of humanity.
Dalai Lama
A spoon cannot taste of the food it carries. Likewise, a foolish man cannot understand the wise man´s wisdom even if he associates with a sage.
