Dalai LamaBlessings donโt come from outside, but from within. Whatever blessings we receive are the result of our own efforts and positive actions.
Dalai LamaIt is my dream that the entire Tibetan plateau should become a free refuge where humanity and nature can live in peace and in harmonious balance. It would be a place where people from all over the world could come to seek the true meaning of peace within themselves, away from the tensions and pressures of much of the rest of the world
Dalai LamaNon-violence means dialogue, using our language, the human language. Dialogue means compromise; respecting each otherโs rights; in the spirit of reconciliation there is a real solution to conflict and disagreement. There is no hundred percent winner, no hundred percent loserโnot that way but half-and-half. That is the practical way, the only way.
