Dalai Lama

Dalai Lama We naturally have self-interest but it should be wise rather than foolish self-interest by taking others needs into account as well as ours.

Dalai Lama I feel that each of us has the potential to make some contribution and together, working with a clear aim, we can change our world.

Dalai Lama Human happiness depends on taking others into account.

Dalai Lama Serving and helping others out of compassion is non-violence in action.

Dalai Lama Most of our problems are related to the mind, so we have to work to reduce our destructive emotions.

Dalai Lama If we can refrain from harming others in our everyday actions and words, we can start to give more serious attention to actively doing good.

Dalai Lama Placing all our hope on material development is clearly mistaken; the ultimate source of happiness is within us.

Dalai Lama If we can cultivate a concern for others, keeping in mind the oneness of humanity, we can build a more compassionate world.
