I always believed in love, compassion and a sense of universal respect. Every human being has that potential.

I became the Dalai Lama not on a volunteer basis.

The greatest antidote to insecurity & sense of fear is compassion. It brings one back to the basis of one's inner strength.

Compassion, forgiveness, these are the real, ultimate sources of power for peace and success in life

Compassion is a mental quality that can bring us true lasting inner peace and inner strength.

Because we all share an identical need for love, it is possible to feel that anybody we meet, in whatever circumstances, is a brother or sister.

All religions are essentially the same in their goal of developing a good human heart so that we may become better human beings.
