It is my belief that whereas the twentieth century has been a century of war and untold suffering, the twenty-first century should be one of peace and dialogue. As the continued advances in information technology make our world a truly global village, I believe there will come a time when war and armed conflict will be considered an outdated and obsolete method of settling differences among nations and communities.
Dalai LamaIf 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 LamaIf a problem is fixable, if a situation is such that you can do something about it, then there is no need to worry. If it's not fixable, then there is no help in worrying. There is no benefit in worrying whatsoever.
Dalai LamaI always try to share with others the idea that in order to become compassionate it is not necessary to become religious.
