Dalai Lama Sayings and Quotes
- Compassion and tolerance are not a sign of weakness, but a sign
of strength.
- From my own limited experience I have found that the greatest
degree of inner tranquility comes from the development of love and
compassion.
- It is necessary to help others, not only in our prayers, but in
our daily lives. If we find we cannot help others, the least we can
do is to desist from harming them.
- Our planet is our house, and we must keep it in order and take
care of it if we are genuinely concerned about happiness for
ourselves, our children, our friends, and other sentient beings who
share this great house with us. If we think of the planet as our
house or' as "our mother - Mother Earth - we automatically feel
concern for our environment.
- Brute force, no matter how strongly applied, can never subdue
the basic human desire for freedom.
- Media people should have long noses like an elephant to smell
out politicians, mayors, prime ministers and businessmen. We need to
know the reality, the good and the bad, not just the appearance.
- I am deeply touched by the sincere concern shown by so many
people in this part of the world for the suffering of the people of
Tibet. That is a source of hope not only for us Tibetans, but for
all oppressed people.
- Fundamentalism is terrifying because it is based purely on
emotion, rather than intelligence. It prevents followers from
thinking as individuals and about the good of the world.
- Inter-dependence, of course, is a fundamental law of nature. Not
only higher forms of life but also many of the smallest insects are
social beings who, without any religion, law or education, survive
by mutual cooperation based on an innate recognition of their
interconnectedness.
- I believe that to meet the challenge of our times, human beings
will have to develop a greater sense of universal responsibility.
Each of us must learn to work not for his or her self, family or
nation, but for the benefit of all mankind. Universal responsibility
is the real key to human survival. It is the best foundation for
world. peace, the equitable use of natural resources and through
concern for the future generations, the proper care of the
environment.
- According to Buddhist theory, we are born and reborn countless
numbers of times, and it is conceivable that each being has been our
parent at one time or another. In this way all beings in the
universe share a family relationship.
- I try always to express the value of having a good heart. This
simple aspect of human nature can be nourished to great power. With
a good heart and wisdom you have right motivation and will
automatically do what needs to be done. If people begin to act with
genuine compassion for every one, we can still protect each other
and the natural environment. This is much easier than having to
adapt to the severe and incomprehensible environmental conditions
projected for the future.
