"Our attitude towards suffering becomes very important..." - Quote by Dalai Lama

“The lessons we have begun to learn make me hopeful, that human beings will become friendlier, more harmonious, less harmful. Compassion and the seeds of peace will be able to flourish. At the same time, every individual is responsible to help guide our global family in the right direction. Good wishes alone are not enough; we have to take responsibility. Large human movements spring from individual human initiatives”

“Without technology humanity has no future, but we have to be careful that we don’t become so mechanised that we lose our human feelings.”

“I love smiles. That is a fact. How to develop smiles? There are a variety of smiles. Some smiles are sarcastic. Some smiles are artificial-diplomatic smiles. These smiles do not produce satisfaction, but rather fear or suspicion. But a genuine smile gives us hope, freshness. If we want a genuine smile, then first we must produce the basis for a smile to come.”

“I now see that sorrow, being the supreme emotion of which man is capable, is at once the type and test of all great art.”

“True suffering does not know itself and never calculates.”

“One has to pay dearly for immortality; one has to die several times while one is still alive.”

“Our favorite attitude should be gratitude.”

“Be fascinated instead of frustrated.”

“Passion is a decision about how we will approach life, before it becomes a feeling!”
