"For discovering one's true inner nature, I..." - Quote by Dalai Lama

“Peace does not mean an absence of conflicts; differences will always be there. Peace means solving these differences through peaceful means; through dialogue, education, knowledge; and through humane ways.”

“Ignorance is the source of hatred, and the way to get rid of ignorance is realization.”

“The planet does not need more successful people. The planet desperately needs more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of all kinds.”

“Every mind must know the whole lesson for itself,-must go over the whole ground. What it does not see, what it does not live, it will not know.”

“The only reason I am a star is because of my repression. Nothing else would have driven me through all that if I was 'normal'.”

“The years... when I pursued the inner images were the most important time of my life. Everything else is to be derived from this. It began at that time, and the later details hardly matter anymore. My entire life consisted in elaborating what had burst forth from the unconscious and flooded me like an enigmatic stream and threatened to break me. That was the stuff and material for more than only one life. Everything later was merely the outer classification, the scientific elaboration, and the integration into life. But the numinous beginning, which contained everything was then.”

“A sense of contentment is a key factor for attaining happiness”

“To listen to the silence, wherever you are, is an easy and direct way of becoming present. Even if there is noise, there is always some silence underneath and in between the sounds. Listening to the silence immediately creates stillness inside you.”

“A great rock is not disturbed by the wind; the mind of a wise man is not disturbed by either honor or abuse.”
