The essence of compassion is a desire to alleviate the suffering of others and to promote their well-being
Dalai LamaThe feeling of being happy or unhappy rarely depends on our absolute state, but on our perception of the situation, on our capacity to be satisfied with what we have.
Dalai LamaLife does not wait: Whether we spend our lives meaningfully or not, the time will be used up moment by moment.
Dalai LamaWhen we talk about global crisis, or a crisis of humanity, we cannot blame a few politicians, a few fanatics, or a few troublemakers. The whole of humanity has a responsibility because it is our business, human business. I call this a sense of universal responsibility. That is a crucial point.
