14th Dalai Lama

Having a calm and compassionate mind enables us to use our natural intelligence more effectively.

14th 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.

14th Dalai Lama

Human satisfaction must ultimately come from within oneself.

14th Dalai Lama

I believe each human being has the potential to change, to transform one’s own attitude, no matter how difficult the situation.

14th Dalai Lama

I believe that the purpose of life is to be happy.

14th Dalai Lama

I believe that the very purpose of life is to be happy. From the very core of our being, we desire contentment. In my own limited experience I have found that the more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being.

14th Dalai Lama

I believe that we are fundamentally the same and have the same basic potential.

14th Dalai Lama

I don’t take myself too seriously! That makes me happy.

14th Dalai Lama

I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe.

14th Dalai Lama

I found, as every teacher does, that there is nothing like teaching to help one learn.
