I one individual human being. One of the seven billion human being. I believe each of us, our future depends on the rest of humanity.
Dalai LamaOn love, not harming others, and respecting all beings. Even animals have these elements in their behavioral patterns. We should start by observing how animals act. They are honest and appreciate it when we are honest with them. If you present something nice to an animal in one hand while hiding a rope in the other, the creature will know your intention. Yet animals have no religion, no constitution. Basic nature has endowed them with the faculty of discernment. It is the same for humans.
Dalai LamaThe more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being.
Dalai LamaWe are visitors on this planet. We are here for one hundred years at the very most. During that period we must try to do something good, something useful, with our lives. if you contribute to other people's happiness, you will find the true meaning of life.
Dalai LamaWith realization of one's own potential and self-confidence in one's ability, one can build a better world.
Dalai LamaIf there are sound reasons or bases for the points you demand, then there is no need for violence. On the other hand, when there is no sound reason that concessions should be made to you but mainly your own desire, then reason cannot work and you have to rely on force. Thus using force is not a sign of strength but rather a sign of weakness.
