Highest spiritual leader and head of Tibetan Buddhism
There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies. My brain and my heart are my temples; my philosophy is kindness.
Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.
With realization of ones own potential and self-confidence in ones ability, one can build a better world.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe.
Consider that not only do negative thoughts and emotions destroy our experience of peace, they also undermine our health.
Love and compassion open our own inner life, reducing stress, distrust and loneliness.
The greatest antidote to insecurity and the sense of fear is compassion — it brings one back to the basis of one's inner strength
I believe that we are fundamentally the same and have the same basic potential.
The most important thing is transforming our minds, for a new way of thinking, a new outlook: we should strive to develop a new inner world.
