My faith helps me overcome such negative emotions and find my equilibrium.

Dalai Lama

If you have a particular faith or religion, that is good. But you can survive without it.

Dalai Lama

Because of lack of moral principle, human life becomes worthless. Moral principle, truthfulness, is a key factor. If we lose that, then there is no future.

Dalai Lama

Some mischievous people always there. Last several thousand years, always there. In future, also.

Dalai Lama

The purpose of our lives is to be happy.

Dalai Lama

Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.

Dalai Lama

I think the self-burning itself on practice of non-violence. These people, you see, they easily use bomb explosive, more casualty people. But they didn't do that. Only sacrifice their own life. So this also is part of practice of non-violence.

Dalai Lama

Today, more than ever before, life must be characterized by a sense of Universal responsibility, not only nation to nation and human to human, but also human to other forms of life.

Dalai Lama

All religions try to benefit people, with the same basic message of the need for love and compassion, for justice and honesty, for contentment.

Dalai Lama

The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness.

Dalai Lama

With realization of one's own potential and self-confidence in one's ability, one can build a better world.

Dalai Lama

When you are discontent, you always want more, more, more. Your desire can never be satisfied. But when you practice contentment, you can say to yourself, 'Oh yes - I already have everything that I really need.'

Dalai Lama

A lack of transparency results in distrust and a deep sense of insecurity.

Dalai Lama

It is necessary to help others, not only in our prayers, but in our daily lives. If we find we cannot help others, the least we can do is to desist from harming them.

Dalai Lama

It is difficult to violently suppress people in the long run, as the example of the Soviet Union and the Eastern European countries has shown.

Dalai Lama

Open-minded people tend to be interested in Buddhism because Buddha urged people to investigate things - he didn't just command them to believe.

Dalai Lama

If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them.

Dalai Lama

Sometimes one creates a dynamic impression by saying something, and sometimes one creates as significant an impression by remaining silent.

Dalai Lama

World belongs to humanity, not this leader, that leader or that king or prince or religious leader. World belongs to humanity.

Dalai Lama

Look at situations from all angles, and you will become more open.

Dalai Lama

Physical comforts cannot subdue mental suffering, and if we look closely, we can see that those who have many possessions are not necessarily happy. In fact, being wealthy often brings even more anxiety.
