People think of animals as if they were vegetables, and that is not right. We have to change the way people think about animals. I encourage the Tibetan people and all people to move toward a vegetarian diet that doesnโt cause suffering.
Dalai LamaPhysically you are a human being, but mentally you are incomplete. Given that we have this physical human form, we must safeguard our mental capacity for judgment. For that, we cannot take out insurance; the insurance company is within: self-discipline, self-awareness, and a clear realization of the disadvantages of anger and the positive effects of kindness.
Dalai LamaEverybody wants a happy life and a peaceful mind, but we have to produce peace of mind through our own practice.
Dalai LamaIf every 8 year old in the world is taught meditation, we will eliminate violence from the world within one generation
