"The essence of compassion is a desire..." - Quote by Dalai Lama

“On every level of human life, compassion is the key thing.”

“Because of the great differences in our ways of thinking, it is inevitable that we have different religions and faiths. Each has its own beauty. And it is much better that we live together on the basis of mutual respect and mutual admiration.”

“Do not let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace.”

“Cow protection means protection of the weak, the helpless, the dumb and the deaf.”

“I do not want a kingdom, or heaven; what I want is to remove the trouble of the oppressed, the poor, and the needy.”

“We are all, by nature, clearly oriented toward the basic human values of love and compassion. We all prefer the love of others to their hatred. We all prefer others’ generosity to meanness. And who is there among us who does not prefer tolerance, respect and forgiveness of our failings to bigotry, disrespect, and resentment?”

“We must recognize that the suffering of one person or one nation is the suffering of humanity.”

“The old woman dies, the burden is lifted.”

“Grief is like a bomber circling round and dropping its bombs each time the circle brings it overhead; physical pain is like the steady barrage on a trench in World War One, hours if it with no let-up for a moment. Thought is never static pain often is... is it not yet enough?”
