Dalai Lama XIV

Love is the absence of judgment.

People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they__e not on your road doesn__ mean they__e gotten lost.

As a Buddhist, I see no distinction between religious practice and daily life. Religious practice is a twenty-four hour occupation.

Everybody wants a happy life and a peaceful mind, but we have to produce peace of mind through our own practice.

I took note of the Buddha's teaching that in one sense a supposed enemy is more valuable than a friend, for an enemy teaches you things, such as forbearance, that a friend generally does not.

In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher.

Know the rules well, so you can break them effectively.

Our ancient experience confirms at every point that everything is linked together, everything is inseparable.

We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.

Those questions which are unexpected and complicated are the ones I appreciate most. They can help me a great deal. as I am compelled to take an interest in something that might not otherwise have occurred to me.

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.

Remember that sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck.

If there is no solution to the problem then don't waste time worrying about it. If there is a solution to the problem then don't waste time worrying about it.

If you have fear of some pain or suffering, you should examine whether there is anything you can do about it. If you can, there is no need to worry about it; if you cannot do anything, then there is also no need to worry.

The demarcation between a positive and a negative desire or action is not whether it gives you a immediate feeling of satisfaction but whether it ultimately results in positive or negative consequences

The true hero is one who conquers his own anger and hatred.

If your mental health is sound, then when disturbances come, you will have some distress but quickly recover.

In order to lead a meaningful life, you need to cherish others, pay attention to human values and try to cultivate inner peace.
