"Meditation is valuable for all of humanity..." - Quote by Dalai Lama

“Use your human intelligence in the best way you can; transform your emotions in a positive way.”

“Anger and hatred are the real enemies that we must confront and defeat, not the 'enemies' who appear from time to time in our lives.”

“Death is a part of all our lives. Whether we like it or not, it is bound to happen. Instead of avoiding thinking about it, it is better to understand its meaning. We all have the same body, the same human flesh, and therefore we will all die. There is a big difference, of course, between natural death and accidental death, but basically death will come sooner or later. If from the beginning your attitude is 'Yes, death is part of our lives,' then it may be easier to face.”

“Just as I sit down to meditate, all the vilest subjects in the world come up. The whole thing is nauseating. Why should the mind think thoughts I do not want it to think? I am as it were a slave to the mind.”

“I always used to be like, 'I don't need to meditate.' And it's not true.”

“Meditation is difficult for many people because their thoughts are always on some distant object or place. One form of meditation is to label the thought as it appears and then choose to let it go.”

“We're not all perfect. People always say to me: "Oh you seem happy all the time." But I'm not happy all the time. I'm a human being. I'm very sensitive. I hurt like anybody else. But I do try my best to have a good attitude and I set about tryin' to take care of myself knowing I'm not going to be exactly right, so I just try to see what I can do to improve every single day.”

“Hegel was right when he said that we learn from history that man can never learn anything from history.”

“See the Light in Others, and Treat Them as if That is All you See.”
