14th Dalai Lama

Altruism is the surest and most effective way to bring about genuine life satisfaction.

14th Dalai Lama

Always embrace the common humanity that lies at the heart of us all.

14th Dalai Lama

An affectionate disposition not only makes the mind more peaceful and calm, but it affects our body in a positive way too.

14th Dalai Lama

Anger and hatred are the greatest obstacles to compassion and love.

14th Dalai Lama

Anger and hatred are the real enemies that we must confront and defeat, not the ‘enemies’ who appear from time to time in our lives.

14th Dalai Lama

Anger and hatred lead to fear; compassion and concern for others allow us to develop self-confidence, which breeds trust and friendship.

14th Dalai Lama

Anger is the ultimate troublemaker. I feel you can express a strong disapproval or dislike of an object without losing your temper.

14th Dalai Lama

Anger or hatred is like a fisherman’s hook. It’s very important for us to ensure that we are not caught by this hook.

14th Dalai Lama

Anger, hatred and jealousy never solve problems, only affection, concern and respect can do that.

14th Dalai Lama

Any mental state that destroys calmness of mind and brings about mental misery – which upsets, afflicts, and torments the mind – is said to be a delusion.
