“Education today tends to focus on material goals. We seek sensory gratification in music or good things to look at, taste and touch. We may enjoy watching a game of sport, but once it ends the joy is over. What we really need is happiness that is rooted in the power of the mind.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama

Plan a better Education
“We must nurture positive things. Positive emotions are really a benefit to yourself and others. Warmheartedness and a sense of responsibility clearly have an important role in modern society, in every field. Training can make a difference, so we need to plan a better education.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
Compassion and Non-violence
“Education today needs to include principles such as compassion and non-violence. What’s more, since we are missing something if we are physically fit, but full of anger and anxiety, we need to learn about emotional hygiene, tackling destructive emotions to find peace of mind.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalia Lama
Listen and learn
“When you talk, you are repeating what you already know; But when you listen, you may learn something new.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
Changing Attitudes
“Ultimately we have to change attitudes, not by law but by education.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
Inner Value
“We all have a responsibility to educate our human brothers and sisters. Inner values are the ultimate source of happiness, not money and weapons, whether you’re talking about individuals or the whole of humanity.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
Educate the mind and the heart
“When educating the minds of our youth, we must not forget to educate their hearts.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
