All forms of violence, especially war, are totally unacceptable as means to settle disputes between and among nations, groups and persons.
Dalai LamaEach of us in our own way can try to spread compassion into people's hearts. Western civilizations these days place great importance on filling the human brain with knowledge, but no one seems to care about filling the human heart with compassion. This is what the real role of religion is.
Dalai LamaI request you to try to be warm-hearted. I ask this of you because these mental attitudes actually bring us happiness.
Dalai LamaI believe all religions pursue the same goals, that of cultivating human goodness and bringing happiness to all human beings. Though the means might appear different the ends are the same.
