Tenzin Gyatso, The 14th Dalai Lama Quotes

«The main difference between us, Buddhism and other philosophies, is that we do not accept the notion of a living god, but rather that we are responsible for our future happiness.»
«All the problems of the world - child labor, corruption - are symptoms of a spiritual disease: lack of compassion.»
«Our enemies provide us with a precious opportunity to practice patience and love. We should have gratitude toward them.»
«We also often add to our pain and suffering by being overly sensitive, over-reacting to minor things, and sometimes taking things too personally.»
«The true antidote to greed is contentment. If you have a strong sense of contentment, it doesn't matter whether you obtain the object of your desire or not. Either way, you are still content.»
«The time has come to think more wisely, hasn't it?»
«I believe if we human beings keep our self-confidence and determination and use wisdom properly, I think we have the ability to overcome problems.»
«In addition to wreaking havoc on our bodies, anger close our inner door, making us feel isolated and distrustful, hindering communication.»
«The foundation of the Buddha's teachings lies in compassion, and the reason for practicing the teachings is to wipe out the persistence of ego, the number-one enemy of compassion.»
«The essence of Buddhism is if you can, help others. If not, then at least refrain from hurting others.»
