"Our world is increasingly interdependent, but I..." - Quote by Dalai Lama

“Happiness comes through taming the mind; without taming the mind there is no way to be happy”

“Compassion is something we can count on. Even if we face economic problems and our fortunes decline, we can still share our compassion with our fellow human beings. National and global economies are subject to many ups and downs, but through them all we can retain a compassionate attitude that will carry us through.”

“There is often a big disparity between the way in which we perceive things and the way things really are.”

“There's an interdependence between flowers and bees. Where there are no flowers there are no bees, and where there are no bees, there are no flowers. They are really one organism. And so in the same way, everything in nature depends on everything else.”

“All things are linked with one another, and this oneness is sacred; there is nothing that is not interconnected with everything else. For things are interdependent, and they combine to form this universal order. There is only one universe made up of all things, and one creator who pervades them; there is one substance and one law, namely, common reason in all thinking creatures, and all truth is one-if, as we believe, there is only one path of perfection for all beings who share the same mind.”

“The reality today is that we are all interdependent and have to co-exist on this small planet. Therefore, the only sensible and intelligent way of resolving differences and clashes of interests, whether between individuals or nations, is through dialogue.”

“We need cooperation based on trust and self-confidence to create an open, compassionate, harmonious society.”

“Benevolence is the characteristic element of humanity.”

“A Candle never Loses any of its Light while Lighting up another candle.”
