It does not matter whether you are a theist or atheist, what matters is sincerity, forgiveness, and compassion.
Dalai LamaMy message is always the same: to cultivate and practice love, kindness, compassion and tolerance.
Dalai LamaAll I can do is engage with complete sincerity. Then whatever happens, there is no regret.
Dalai LamaI 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 LamaLack of understanding of the true nature of happiness, it seems to me, is the principal reason why people inflict sufferings on others. They think either that the other's pain may somehow be a cause of happiness for themselves or that their own happiness is more important, regardless of what pain it may cause. But this is shortsighted. No one truly benefits from causing harm to another sentient being. . . . . In the long run causing others misery and infringing their rights to peace and happiness result in anxiety, fear, and suspicion within oneself.
