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.
With realization of ones own potential and self-confidence in ones ability, one can build a better world.
I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe.
Love and compassion open our own inner life, reducing stress, distrust and loneliness.
I believe that we are fundamentally the same and have the same basic potential.
More often than not, anger is actually an indication of weakness rather than of strength.
It is difficult to achieve a spirit of genuine cooperation as long as people remain indifferent to the feelings and happiness of others.
Happiness does not come about only due to external circumstances; it mainly derives from inner attitudes.
Genuine love should first be directed at oneself – if we do not love ourselves, how can we love others?
With the realization of ones own potential and self-confidence in ones ability, one can build a better world.
