The proper way to create friends is to have a warm heart, not simply money or power. The friend of power and the friend of money are something different.
Dalai LamaThe real enemy of happiness is the mind's fixations and delusions... If you have the right mind, you can overcome anything - you can be happy, no matter what.
Dalai LamaEverybody loves to talk about calmness and peace, whether in a family, national, or international context, but without inner peace how can we make real peace? World peace through hatred and force is impossible.
Dalai LamaI believe each human being has the potential to change, to transform oneโs own attitude, no matter how difficult the situation.
Dalai LamaI believe that the basic nature of human beings is gentle and compassionate. It is therefore in our own interest to encourage that nature, to make it live within us, to leave room for it to develop. If on the contrary we use violence, it is as if we voluntarily obstruct the positive side of human nature and prevent its evolution.
