Dalai Lama

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.

Compassion and love are not mere luxuries. As the source of both inner and external peace, they are fundamental to the continued survival of our species.

It is essential to know that to be a happy person, a happy family, a happy society, it is very crucial to have a good heart, that is very crucial. World peach must develop from inner peace. Peace is not just the absence of violence but the manifestation of human compassion.

Share your knowledge. It's a way to achieve immortality.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

Happiness is not something readymade. It comes from your own actions.

I believe all suffering is caused by ignorance.

If you think you are too small to make a difference, try to sleep with a mosquito in a room.

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.

If your life goes along too easily, you become soft.

In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher.

Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.

The purpose of our lives is to be happy.

When you talk, you are only repeating what you already know. But if you listen, you may learn something new.
