Dalai Lama Lasting Happiness Quotations

The most important thing in life is human affection. Without it one cannot achieve genuine happiness. And if we want a happier life, a happier family, happier neighbours or a happier nation, the key is inner quality. Even if the five billion human beings that inhabit the earth become millionaires, without inner development there cannot be peace or any lasting happiness.

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

Compassion is one of the principal things that make our lives meaningful. It is the source of all lasting happiness and joy.

I pray for a more friendly, more caring, and more understanding human family on this planet. To all who dislike suffering, who cherish lasting happiness, this is my heartfelt appeal.
