14th Dalai Lama

Compassion naturally creates a positive atmosphere, and as a result you feel peaceful and content.

14th Dalai Lama

Consider that not only do negative thoughts and emotions destroy our experience of peace, they also undermine our health.

14th Dalai Lama

Cultivating inner discipline is something that takes time; expecting rapid results is simply a sign of impatience.

14th Dalai Lama

Destructive thoughts and emotions undermine the very causes of peace and happiness. If you think clearly about it, it makes no sense to think you’re seeking happiness, if you do nothing to restrain angry, spiteful, and malicious thoughts and emotions.

14th Dalai Lama

Developing inner values is much like physical exercise. The more we train our abilities, the stronger they become. The difference is that, unlike the body, when it comes to training the mind, there is no limit to how far we can go.

14th Dalai Lama

Do not let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace.

14th Dalai Lama

Don’t become a Buddhist. The world doesn’t need Buddhist. Do practice Compassion. The world needs more compassion.

14th Dalai Lama

Don’t let a little dispute injure a great relationship.

14th Dalai Lama

Eating, working, and making money are meaningless in themselves. However, even a small act of compassion grants meaning and purpose to our lives.

14th Dalai Lama

Enemies provide us some of the best opportunities to practice patience, tolerance, and compassion.

14th Dalai Lama
