Great changes start with individuals; the basis of world peace is inner peace in the hearts of individuals.
Dalai LamaOnce your mind is calm and full of love, there is no room for hatred or fear. Others will trust you because of your open heart.
Dalai LamaIf we are demoralized, sad and only complain, we’ll not solve our problems. If we only pray for a solution, we’ll not solve our problems. We need to face them, to deal with them without violence, but with confidence - and never give up. If you adopt a non-violent approach, but are also hesitant within, you’ll not succeed. You have to have confidence and keep up your efforts - in other words, never give up.
Dalai LamaCompassion is of little value if it just remains an idea. It must motivate how we respond to others and be reflective in all our thoughts and actions
