14th Dalai Lama

When you practice gratefulness, there is a sense of respect toward others.

14th Dalai Lama

When you think everything is someone else’s fault, you will suffer a lot.

14th Dalai Lama

With the strength and mental stability derived from inner peace, we can endure all kinds of adversity.

14th Dalai Lama

You can’t help someone just by making a wish to do so, you have to take action.

14th Dalai Lama

A compassionate attitude opens our inner door, and as a result it is much easier to communicate with others. If there is too much self-centred attitude, then fear, doubt and suspicion come and as a result our inner door closes. Then it is very difficult to communicate with others.

14th Dalai Lama

A genuine, affectionate smile is very important in our day-to-day lives.

14th Dalai Lama

A good motivation is what is needed: compassion without dogmatism, without complicated philosophy; just understanding that others are human brothers and sisters and respecting their human rights and dignities. That we humans can help each other is one of our unique human capacities.

14th Dalai Lama

A lack of transparency results in distrust and a deep sense of insecurity.

14th Dalai Lama

A mind that is characterized by unrest will not be tranquil even in the presence of great calm.

14th Dalai Lama

A mind wishing to benefit other people and other sentient beings is the very basis of peace and happiness.

14th Dalai Lama
