"The best way of fulfilling your own..." - Quote by Dalai Lama

“All forms of violence, especially war, are totally unacceptable as means to settle disputes between and among nations, groups and persons.”

“As a Buddhist, I view death as a normal process, a reality that I accept will occur as long as I remain in this earthly existence. Knowing that I cannot escape it, I see no point in worrying about it. I tend to think of death as being like changing your clothes when they are old and worn out, rather than as some final end. Yet death is unpredictable: We do not know when or how it will take place. So it is only sensible to take certain precautions before it actually happens.”

“After I handed over all my authority, I feel now our struggle [for Tibet ] become much, much safer. And me personally, the day I officially handed over, that night, very unusual sound. I am quite free now.”

“Ten cures for depression are to go out and do something for someone else and repeat it nine times.”

“When you are laboring for others, let it be with the same zeal as if it were for yourself.”

“Live simply so that others may simply live.”

“If you help and serve others, you will ultimately gain.”

“There are scores of people waiting for someone just like us to come along; people who will appreciate our compassion, our encouragement, who will need our unique talents. Someone who will live a happier life merely because we took the time to share what we had to give.”

“I never have changed in my taste, and the things that I love, and the way that I act, and all that. I never wanted to change, I just wanted to be successful, and be able to do more things for more people, and for myself as well.”
