“Wherever I go I consider whoever I meet to be another human being like me. We all want to live a happy life. We all respond to smiles, so wherever I go, I smile. Even when we don’t share a language, we can communicate our friendship by smiling.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
“There are no natural boundaries between
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
human beings on this earth, we are one family.
At a time of increasing natural disasters,
climate change and global warming affect all
of us. We must learn to live together, to work
together, and to share what we have together.”
“Compassion enhances our self-confidence because a calm mind allows our marvellous human intelligence to bloom. When we’re angry, our thinking is distorted and we don’t see the different aspects of reality. A calm mind enables us to take a broader, more realistic view.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
“Friendship depends on trust and trust depends on having a strong sense of concern for the welfare of others. Be honest, truthful and warm-hearted. Make compassion the basis of your determination. Think of what the future can be, not what happened in the past.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
“I believe that if we make an effort to develop
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
peace of mind within ourselves and cultivate
a proper appreciation of the oneness of
humanity, we can create a happier, more
peaceful world. What we need is common
sense-the positive use of intelligence-and
warm-heartedness.”
“I don’t like formality. There’s no formality when we’re born and none when we die. In between we should treat each other as brothers and sisters because we all want to live a happy life. This is our common purpose and our right.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
“Anger and aggression sometimes seem to be protective because they bring energy to bear on a particular situation, but that energy is blind. It takes a calm mind to be able to consider things from different angles and points of view.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
“Controlling our desire for more, learning to live within realistic limits, is not only in our own interest. It’s also necessary if we are to overcome the challenges to life on Earth that our incessant quest for more generates—since the material resources of this planet are finite.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
“As a human being, I am committed to the promotion of what I call basic human values, by which I mean especially compassion. Nurturing the compassionate seed within us and acting out of this innate capacity are the keys to fulfilling our basic aspiration to happiness.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
