Religion, any religion, no matter what sort of wonderful religion, never be universal. So now education is universal, so we have to sort of find ways and means through education system, from kindergarten up to university level, to make awareness these good things, the values, inner values.
Dalai LamaTaking care of our planet is like taking care of our houses. Since we human beings come from Nature, there is no point in our going against nature, which is why I say the environment is not a matter of religion or ethics or morality. These are luxuries, since we can survive without them. But we will not survive if we continue to go against nature.
Dalai LamaBy developing a sense of concern for others' well-being, then no matter what others' attitudes are, you can keep inner peace.
Dalai LamaI think that ethical behaviour is another feature of the kind of inner discipline that leads to a happier existence.
Dalai LamaHappiness does not come about only due to external circumstances; it mainly derives from inner attitudes.
