Here’s a compendium of the kind of deep quotes we love from the Dalai Lama (whom we also love). This is just a small sampling of what you’ll find there.
- If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.
- We need a little more compassion, and if we cannot have it then no politician or even a magician can save the planet.
- According to Buddhism, individuals are masters of their own destiny. And all living beings are believed to possess the nature of the Primordial Buddha Samantabhadra, the potential or seed of enlightenment, within them. So our future is in our own hands. What greater free will do we need?
- Media people should have long noses like an elephant to smell out politicians, mayors, prime ministers and businessmen. We need to know the reality, the good and the bad, not just the appearance.
- All living beings are believed to possess the nature of the Primordial Buddha Samantabhadra, the potential or seed of enlightenment, within them.
