The real troublemaker is within us. Our true enemies are our own destructive tendencies.

DALAI LAMA:

When faced with problems, don’t lose hope. Keep up your self-confidence and don’t be too impatient to achieve quick results.

We need to promote the oneness of all human beings, on the basis of which there are no grounds for killing or exploiting others.

It is possible to use our intelligence and extend our compassion to others, including even our enemies.

Tibet's ecology needs protecting, not just for Tibetans, but for the health and sustainability of the entire world http://tibet.net/COP21/

Fundamentally, all spiritual traditions help us train our minds, overcome our negativities and fulfill our inner potential.

The future is in your hands, but for it to be peaceful and happy requires a sense of compassion and concern for others’ well-being.

Many think that happiness is to be found outside ourselves in material things, but actually happiness is something that comes from within.

Changing the world is up to us. If each of us tries, the next generation may see a happier, more peaceful world emerge.

Let's remember that world peace results from individuals like us finding lasting peace within #PeaceDayChallenge http://www.peacedaychallenge.org

To serve others and not only to secure their welfare, but also to avoid harming them, is the standard of a meaningful life.

As human beings, equipped with marvelous intelligence and the potential for developing a warm heart, each of us can become a force for good.

It's unrealistic to think that the future of humanity can be achieved through prayer or good wishes alone; what we need is to take action.

The goal of happier human beings living together, supporting each other, in a more peaceful world, is, I believe, something we can achieve.

Loving is of even greater importance than being loved.

The use of force and violence inevitably entails unanticipated consequences, but rarely yields a solution.

Compassion reduces our fear, boosts our confidence, and opens us to inner strength.

The moment you think of others, your mind widens.

Japan, the one country to have suffered nuclear attack, has taken the lead in opposing nuclear weapons. I strongly urge you to keep it up.

To create a happier humanity we have to pay more attention to our inner values, whether we are religious or not.

The real troublemaker is within us. Our true enemies are our own destructive tendencies.

To cultivate genuine compassion we need to take responsibility for our own care and have concern for everyone's suffering, including our own

If we’re motivated by a genuine sense of universal responsibility our relations with the environment and our neighbors will be more balanced

What makes our human life precious is our marvellous brain. We have an ability to cultivate compassion in a way no other beings can do.

The greatest threat we face today is violence.

The gun may seem more decisive in the short term, but in the long term the power of truth is stronger.
