14th Dalai Lama

I have always had this view about the modern education system: we pay attention to brain development, but the development of warmheartedness we take for granted.

14th Dalai Lama

I request you to try to be warm-hearted. I ask this of you because these mental attitudes actually bring us happiness.

14th Dalai Lama

I think in many ways narrow minded-attitudes lead to extreme thinking.

14th Dalai Lama

I think technology really increased human ability, but technology cannot produce compassion.

14th Dalai Lama

I think that generally, being honest with oneself and others about what you are or are not capable of doing can counteract that feeling of lack of self-confidence.

14th Dalai Lama

I think there’s every reason this 21st century will be much happier.

14th Dalai Lama

I will not propose to you that my way is best. The decision is up to you. If you find some point which may be suitable for you, then you can carry out experiments for yourself. If you find that it is of no use, then you can discard it.

14th Dalai Lama

I’d rather be kind than right. You can always be kind.

14th Dalai Lama

If every 8 year old in the world is taught meditation, we will eliminate violence from the world within one generation.

14th Dalai Lama

If human society loses the value of justice, compassion, and honesty, the next generation will face greater difficulties and more suffering.
