Dalai Lama quotes

Spirituality is like a medicine. To heal the illness, it is not sufficient to look at the medicine and talk about it. You have to ingest it.

Some people , when we talk about compassion and love, think it is a religious matter. Compassion is the universal religion.

Open your arm to change, but don’t let go of your values.

Be a nice person. Be a good person.

Working to ease the suffering of sentient beings, to improve the situation on the planet, is the only way to happiness, contentment and peace.

If we each selfishly pursue only what we believe to be in our own interest, without caring about the needs of others, we not only end up harming others but also ourselves.

It is the enemy who can truly teach us to practice the virtues of compassion and tolerance.

When you lose , don’t lose the lesson.

Each individual has an opportunity to make a difference.

Through money and power you cannot solve all problems. The problem in the human heart must be solved first.

It is important not to have unrealistic expectation that we will find a magic key to help get rid of all suffering. It takes determination, patience and more than one week.

My book suggestion:

I believe in humanity, and its level in a person is more important than his or her belief or faith.

When ignorance is our master, there is no possibility of real peace.

To me there is no difference, whether president, beggar or king.
