Dalai Lama Development Quotations

As far as mental development is concerned, we should never be complacent. We can develop our minds infinitely - there is no limitation.

No single Tibetan dreaming return of previous sort of backwardness, therefore as far as economy development is concerned, Tibet remain within the People's Republic of China, we will get greater benefit.

Peace can only last where human rights are respected, where the people are fed, and where individuals and nations are free. True peace with oneself and with the world around us can only be achieved through the development of mental peace.

We need material development, but we need to understand that by itself it doesn't bring peace of mind.

Material development alone does not yield genuine inner peace.
