14th Dalai Lama

There is nothing I can’t live without. I learned this attitude when I was a child.

14th Dalai Lama

There is often a big disparity between the way in which we perceive things and the way things really are.

14th Dalai Lama

There should be a spirit of dialogue. Whenever we see any disagreements, we must think how to solve them on the basis of recognition of oneness of the entire humanity. This is the modern reality.

14th Dalai Lama

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.

14th Dalai Lama

Through difficult experiences, life sometimes becomes more meaningful.

14th Dalai Lama

Time passes unhindered. When we make mistakes, we cannot turn the clock back and try again. All we can do is use the present well.

14th Dalai Lama

To be extremely self-centred, only interested in your own satisfaction, always brings negative consequences in the long run.

14th Dalai Lama

Treat each person as you would an old friend.

14th Dalai Lama

We are all social animals and compassion, care and concern for others bring us together.

14th Dalai Lama

We cannot overcome anger and hatred simply by suppressing them. We need to actively cultivate the antidotes: patience and tolerance.
