“Whether one believes in a religion or not,
and whether one believes in rebirth or not,
there isn’t anyone who doesn’t appreciate
kindness and compassion.”
~ Dalai Lama
“Our prime purpose in this life is to help others,
And if you can’t help them, at least don’t hurt them.”
~ Dalai Lama
“Interdependence
is a fundamental law of nature.
Even tiny insects
survive by cooperating with each other.
Our own survival
is so dependent on the help of others
that a need for love
lies at the very core of our existence.
This is why
we need to cultivate
a genuine sense of responsibility
and a sincere concern
for the welfare of others.”
~ Dalai Lama
“If you wish to experience peace,
provide peace for another.
If you wish to know that you are safe,
cause another to know that they are safe.
If you wish to better understand
seemingly incomprehensible things,
help another to better understand.
If you wish to heal your own sadness or anger,
seek to heal the sadness or anger of another.”
~ Dalai Lama
“When you talk,
you are only repeating what you already know.
But if you listen,
you may learn something new.”
~ Dalai Lama
“Cultivating care and concern for others
gives rise to a kind of inner strength.
No matter what difficulties or problems you face,
in this wider context
they’ll seem less significant and troubling to you.
The inner strength, self-confidence and courage
you gain by focusing on others’ needs instead of your own,
brings with it a deep, calm sense of satisfaction.”
~ Dalai Lama
“If you think you are too small to make a difference,
try sleeping with a mosquito.”
~ Dalai Lama
“Follow the three R’s:
Respect for self,
respect for others,
and responsibility for all your actions.”
~ Dalai Lama
“Whether one believes in a religion or not,
and whether one believes in rebirth or not,
there isn’t anyone who doesn’t appreciate
kindness and compassion.”
~ Dalai Lama
“There are only two days in the year
that nothing can be done.
One is called yesterday and
the other is called tomorrow,
so today is the right day to love,
believe, do and mostly live.”
Thought for the Day
“People take different roads
seeking fulfillment and happiness.
Just because they’re not on your road
doesn’t mean they’ve gotten lost.”
“All major religious traditions
carry basically the same message,
that is love, compassion and forgiveness.
the important thing is
they should be part of our daily lives.”
“If someone does not smile at you,
be generous and offer your own smile.
Nobody needs a smile more
than the one who cannot smile to others.”
“Old friends pass away, new friends appear.
It is just like the days.
An old day passes, a new day arrives.
The important thing is to make it meaningful:
a meaningful friend – or a meaningful day.”
“If you want others to be happy,
practice compassion.
If you want to be happy,
practice compassion.”
“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.”
