Dalai Lama Being Quotations

When you are discontent, you always want more, more, more. Your desire can never be satisfied. But when you practice contentment, you can say to yourself, 'Oh yes - I already have everything that I really need.'

The more we are concerned for the well being of others, the closer we will feel to each other.

It is very important to generate a good attitude, a good heart, as much as possible. From this, happiness in both the short term and the long term for both yourself and others will come.

Warm-heartedne ss and concern for others’ well-being are a condition for happiness, whether you are religious or not.

The more we feel concern for others and seek their well-being, the more friends we will have and the more welcome we will feel.

Spend some time alone every day.

If we try to secure the well-being of others, we will, at the same time, create the conditions for our own.

True enlightenment is nothing but the nature of one's own self being fully realized.

Even without a religion, we can become a good human being.
