“Warm-heartedness. Even animals appreciate it. If you are motivated by loving kindness, it will be reflected in the happy expression on your face. Real beauty is inner beauty.”
His Holiness the 14th
Category: Dalai Lama Quote
Live a balance life
“We need to learn to manage our emotions and achieve inner peace. Our education should include an understanding of how to achieve peace of mind. Education should teach us how to live properly, how to balance our wish for physical comfort with mental comfort.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
Compassion
“Why do we need compassion? Experience tells us that it brings inner strength. It also benefits others and we face many unnecessary problems when we lack it. To understand this we must develop a holistic way of seeing the bigger picture, which means we must use our intelligence.”
Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
Elimate the notion of “Them”
“I often say that we should eliminate the notion of ‘them’. ‘We’ should be enough; the whole world is part of ‘us’. This isn’t some kind of old-fashioned way of thinking, or an altruistic forgetting of your own interests. I want happiness and in order to achieve that, I need you.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
Happy Community
“I pray each day that every human being, indeed every sentient being, should be happy. So, if you come across individuals facing problems, help them. Share their problems and try to bring them peace of mind. Wherever you live, try to create a happy community.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
Basic Human Values
“Everybody knows that love and compassion are important. Now the time has come when we’re experiencing the limitations of material values. We’re facing many unnecessary problems. So gradually we’re returning to our basic human values with a new appreciation.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
MOthers’ Day
“When we’re born, our mothers show us compassion. This is a natural response without which we wouldn’t survive. Our lives begin with an experience of kindness and compassion. Mothers’ Day is a good day to remember how important compassion can be.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
Peace of Mind
“Gradually people are beginning to recognize that peace of mind has an important role to play in our day to day lives. Mental afflictions like anger, fear and frustration detract from our good health, so, all seven billion human beings alive today need peace of mind here and now.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
The welfare of others!
“We are self-centred and selfish, but we need to be wisely selfish, not foolishly so. If we neglect others, we too lose. We have to support others. We can educate people to understand that the best way to fulfil their own interest is to be concerned about the welfare of others.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
Hope
“Our lives depend on hope. If you have hope, you’ll be able to overcome problems you face. But if you’re without hope, your difficulties will increase. Hope is linked to compassion and loving kindness.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
