If the mind is dominated by hatred, the best part of the brain, which is used to judge right and wrong, does not function properly.
Dalai LamaIf we looked down at the world from space, we would not see any demarcations of national boundaries. We would simply see one small planet, just one.
Dalai LamaGreat changes start with individuals; the basis of world peace is inner peace in the hearts of individuals.
Dalai LamaThere are differences between us. But it doesn't make sense to emphasize that, because my future and yours is connected with everyone else's. So we have to take seriously our concern for all of humanity. When we focus on our individuality, humanity inevitably suffers. And once humanity suffers, each one of us will also suffer.
Dalai Lama
