Category: Dalai Lama Quote
Compassion is a sign of strength!
“Making others happy is not a question of sacrificing our own happiness. Trying to make others happy, even when we do not always succeed, is a source of great satisfaction. Anger and hatred are signs of weakness, while compassion is a sure sign of strength.”
His Holiness the great 14th Dalai Lama
Warm Heart!
“Human beings are social animals and it is love that brings us together, while anger drives us apart. To live more peacefully and joyfully in our day to day lives, we need a warm heart.”
His Holiness the great 14th Dalai Lama
Peace of Mind
“We can achieve peace of mind if we tackle our destructive emotions, so the goal of making the 21st century an era of peace and compassion is feasible. It will involve finding solutions to problems in dialogue, not the use of force.”
His Holiness the great 14th Dalai Lama
Creating peace!
“We may say prayers when we are trying to solve the problems we face, but it is up to us to put an end to violence and bring about peace. Creating peace is our responsibility. To pray for peace while still engaging in the causes that give rise to violence is contradictory.”
His Holiness the great 14th Dalai Lama
Kindness
Self-centered attitude
“Too much self-centered attitude, you see, brings, you see, isolation. Result: loneliness, fear, anger. The extreme self-centered attitude is the source of suffering.”
His Holiness the great 14th Dalai Lama
Positive Action
“In order to carry a positive action we must develop here a positive vision.”
His Holiness the great 14th Dalai Lama
Humanity
“I am one of the 7 billion human beings alive today. We each have a responsibility to think about humanity and the good of the world because it affects our own future. We weren’t born on this planet at this time to create problems but to bring about some benefit.”
His Holiness the great 14th Dalai Lama
It’s good to be more compassionate
“Irrespective of whether we have faith in religion or not, it’s good to be more compassionate. It makes us happier as individuals with a positive influence on our families and the neighbourhood where we live.”
His Holiness the great 14th Dalai Lama
