Dalai Lama Great Quotations

Even secular humanism has great spiritual resources; it is almost like a religion to me.

When, from the depths of your heart, you spontaneously wish all beings to find true, lasting happiness, this is great love.

A generous heart and wholesome actions lead to greater peace.

The more contact we have with one another and the more we come to understand each other's values, the greater will be our mutual respect.

As human beings we all want to be happy and free from misery we have learned that the key to happiness is inner peace. The greatest obstacles to inner peace are disturbing emotions such as anger, attachment, fear and suspicion, while love and compassion and a sense of universal responsibility are the sources of peace and happiness.

If an individual has a calm state of mind, that person's attitudes and views will be calm and tranquil even in the presence of great agitation.
