Developing inner values is much like physical exercise. The more we train our abilities, the stronger they become. The difference is that, unlike the body, when it comes to training the mind, there is no limit to how far we can go.

The very purpose of our life is to seek happiness.

There is no need to mention the great difference between the amount of satisfaction there is in just oneself being happy and the amount of satisfaction there is in an infinite number of people being happy.

The message of love and compassion will travel far and wide if all who follow a spiritual path work together in harmony and mutual respect.

Humanity happy, I get benefit. Humanity in state of trouble, or violence, I cannot escape from that.

I never dreamt, in my dream, I'm Dalai Lama.

It is a wonderful thing if one can use one's place of work as a place of spiritual practice as well.
