“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

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
Peace of mind
“Peace of mind and physical well-being are closely related. Some years ago, a scientist at Emory University told me that continuous anger, fear and suspicion tend to eat into our immune system. Besides, peace of mind and warm-heartedness bring us confidence.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
Calm Mind
“Happiness derived from mere physical comfort tends to be shallow and fleeting. It fails to pacify anxiety and fear. Whereas if we have a calm mind it is effective in overcoming even physical pain, therefore we should not neglect the inner values that are a source of a calm mind.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
Disciplining the mind
“Even though our society doesn’t emphasize it, the most crucial use of knowledge and education is to understand the importance of more wholesome action and disciplining the mind—essentially the development of a good heart.”
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
