Everyday, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it.
Dalai LamaThe process of dying begins with the dissolution of the elements within the body. It has eight stages, beginning with the dissolution of the earth element, then the water, fire and windelements. The color: appearance of a white vision, increase of the red element, black near-attainment, and finally the clear light of death.
Dalai LamaThe best way to resolve any problem in the human world is for all sides to sit down and talk.
Dalai LamaWe must recognize that the suffering of one person or one nation is the suffering of humanity.
Dalai LamaWhen I talk to a few thousand people, I just feel I am talking to an old friend. Like that. I never felt some kind of distance, so therefore, I feel one source of happiness. In that kind of atmosphere, my experience seems some benefit to some people.
Dalai LamaIf humanity is to survive, happiness and inner balance are crucial. Otherwise the lives of our children and their children are more likely to be unhappy, desperate and short. Material development certainly contributes to happiness - to some extent - and a comfortable way of life. But this is not sufficient. To achieve a deeper level of happiness we cannot neglect our inner development.
