The source of peace is within us; so also the source of war. And the real enemy is within us, and not outside. The source of war is not the existence of nuclear weapons or other arms. It is the minds of human beings who decide to push the button and to use those arms out of hatred, anger or greed.
Dalai LamaThere must be a way of promoting human values without involving religion, based on common sense, experience and recent scientific findings.
Dalai LamaEven modern medical researchers have come to the conclusion that peace of mind is vital for good health.
Dalai LamaThe more we think of others, the happier we are. The more we think of ourselves, the more suffering we feel.
Dalai LamaI think every human being, born from mother, and at least the next few years, you see, received immense affection from our mother. So the child's first experience in this lifetime at the beginning, I think that immense affection from other is in our blood. So therefore, the whole rest of life, other people show you smile, genuine sort of closeness feeling. You feel happy. Even animals also like that.
