"Great compassion is the root of altruistic action, the object of amazement to the world;there is no greater source of help and happiness." - Dalai Lama
"Knowledge is like the great army that will help us crush the forces of our own faults." - Dalai Lama
"If you are honest, truthful, and transparent, people trust you. If people trust you, you have no grounds for fear, suspicion or jealousy." - Dalai Lama
"You must understand that even if your adversaries seem to be harming you, in the end their destructive activity will turn against them." - Dalai Lama
"Everybody wants a happy life and a peaceful mind, but we have to produce peace of mind through our own practice." - Dalai Lama
"Happiness doesn't always come from a pursuit. Sometimes it comes when we least expect it." - Dalai Lama
"To be kind, honest and have positive thoughts; to forgive those who harm us and treat everyone as a friend; to help those who are suffering and never to consider ourselves superior to anyone else: even if this advice seems rather simplistic, make the effort of seeing whether by following it you can find greater happiness." - Dalai Lama
"Look at children. Of course they may quarrel, but generally speaking they do not harbor ill feelings as much or as long as adults do. Most adults have the advantage of education over children, but what is the use of an education if they show a big smile while hiding negative feelings deep inside? Children don?t usually act in such a manner. If they feel angry with someone, they express it, and then it is finished. They can still play with that person the following day." - Dalai Lama
"CIf you are honest, truthful, and transparent, people trust you. If people trust you, you have no grounds for fear, suspicion or jealousy." - Dalai Lama
"Like anyone else, I too have anger in me. However, I try to recall that anger is a destructive emotion. I remind myself that scientists now say that anger is bad for our health; it eats into our immune system. So, anger destroys our peace of mind and our physical health. We shouldn't welcome it or think of it as natural or as a friend." - Dalai Lama
"If there's good, strong evidence from science that such and such is the case and this is contrary to Buddhism, then we will change." - Dalai Lama
"The topic of compassion is not at all religious business; it is important to know it is human business, it is a question of human survival." - Dalai Lama
"From the scientific view, the theory of karma may be a metaphysical assumption -- but it is no more so than the assumption that all of life is material and originated out of pure chance." - Dalai Lama
"Calm mind brings inner strength and self-confidence, so that's very important for good health." - Dalai Lama
"Those who have little interest in spirituality shouldn't think that human inner values don't apply to you. The inner peace of an alert and calm mind are the source of real happiness and good health. Our human intelligence tells us which of our emotions are positive and helpful and which are damaging and to be restrained or avoided." - Dalai Lama
