"At the beginning of this century, people..." - Quote by Dalai Lama

“If you make your best effort to be kinder, nurture compassion, make the world a better place, then you can say 'At least I've done my best.”

“Feelings of anger, bitterness, and hate are negative. If I kept those inside me, they would spoil my body and my health. The are of no use.”

“For the moment a lot of attention is given to economic concerns, and these problems at hand easily eclipse all others. But the remedies proposed for these problems all come out of outmoded ways of thinking... The remedy? Compassion. The logical feeling that we find in ourselves if we search deeply enough that has to be exercised toward all other living creatures.”

“Violence is bound sooner or later to exhaust itself but peace cannot issue out of such exhaustion.”

“Retaliation is counter-poison and poison breeds more poison. The nectar of Love alone can destroy the poison of hate.”

“Kindness is the key to peace and harmony in family life.”

“The way to go from discord to harmony is to go from concentrating on differences to concentrating on similarities.”

“If that is the law of life we must work it out in daily exisitance. Wherever there are wars, wherever we are confronted with an opponent, conquer by love. I have found that the certain law of love has answered in my own life as the law of destruction has never done.”

“My goal is not to resolve conflicts and tensions in the region through more war. My goal is to make sure that, you know, we are able to negotiate a deal that we can verify.”
