A.H. Almaas - universal love
"UNIVERSAL LOVE is both conscious and loving at the same time. When you experience universal love you understand the action of love. A loving action is a gentle action when gentleness is needed, a firm action when firmness is needed, a compassionate action when compassion is needed, yielding when yielding is needed. Whatever is needed is present — and in the correct balance — depending on the situation... Universal love is an expression of the harmony of the totality. Everything is in harmony with everything else. Nothing is excluded. Your will is in harmony with your compassion. Your compassion is in harmony with your joy. Your joy is in harmony with your anger. Your anger is in harmony with your body. Your body is in harmony with your ego. Your ego is in harmony with other people. There is no conflict anywhere. Everything fits and functions as a togetherness, as a oneness. That oneness is you." ~A.H. Almaas
Caroline Myss Quotes
"Do not assume that divine guidance flows only when you are in need of help. Guidance continues to flow whether or not you have problems. It transcends problems, heartbreaks, and traumas, flowing through dreams and illuminations.
Whether guidance comes during times of tranquility or trauma, however, it is up to you to have the courage to acknowledge it" ~Caroline Myss
"Enjoy your inward travels. May they be extraordinary. Collect each jewel. Bless each day of your life-for no day in your life will ever come again." ~Caroline Myss
"Facing personal truths and purging yourself of addictions or manipulative habits require strength, courage, humility, faith, and other qualities of a soul with stamina, because you are not just changing yourself; you are changing your universe. Your soul is a compass. Change one coordinate in your spiritual compass and you change your entire life's direction." ~Caroline Myss
"Grace is like a blanket of hope that covers you at night when you think you don't have what it takes to get up in the morning." ~Caroline Myss
"Guide me through this darkness, Lord. Hover over me especially when I cannot seem to hold on for another moment. Flood me with the graces of hope and fortitude. Send your angels to watch over me as I sleep through the night. Remind me during the day that from this small dark cocoon, I will emerge a butterfly." ~Caroline Myss
"I firmly believe that intuitive or symbolic sight is not a gift but a skill – a skill based in self-esteem." ~Caroline Myss
"If you want your situation to change, then set change in motion. If you want to improve your health, then do something that supports that intention. Work with the laws of the universe." ~Caroline Myss
"Just let go. Let go of how you thought your life should be, and embrace the life that is trying to work its way into your consciousness." ~Caroline Myss
"Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering." ~Caroline Myss
"Live one day at a time. Keep your attention in present time. Have no expectations. Make no judgements. And give up the need to know why things happen as they do. Give it up!" ~Caroline Myss
"My prayer today is to become more mindful of my personal actions. What motivates me to do what I do and to say the things I do to others? I often dismiss my actions because of stress or anger but the people I hurt along the way do not dismiss what I've said or done. Every action and every word carries a consequence. Every person has stress and every person has anger. I would not like to be someone's target and I ask for the grace to become more mindful not to harm others just because I am having a bad day." ~Caroline Myss
"My prayer today is to be silent, still. I want to dwell in trust - that all things are as they should be in my life. I do not want chaos or confusion to have authority over me, or difficulties or problems. Let them wait for me tomorrow. Today I suspend worry and choose to dwell in trust. Be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet. Make all your friends feel there is something special in them. Look at the sunny side of everything. Think only the best, be as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own." ~Caroline Myss
"Never blame another person for your personal choices — you are still the one who must live out the consequences of your choices." ~Caroline Myss
"The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind." ~Caroline Myss
"There is no such thing as a simple act of compassion or an inconsequential act of service. Everything we do for another person has infinite consequences." ~Caroline Myss
"We are not meant to stay wounded. We are supposed to move through our tragedies and challenges and to help each other move through the many painful episodes of our lives. By remaining stuck in the power of our wounds, we block our own transformation. We overlook the greater gifts inherent in our wounds — the strength to overcome them and the lessons that we are meant to receive through them. Wounds are the means through which we enter the hearts of other people. They are meant to teach us to become compassionate and wise." ~Caroline Myss
"We weave our spirits into everything we do and everyone we meet." ~Caroline Myss
“You are not born knowing how great an artist you could be in this lifetime. In order to discover your potential you have to learn to act with courage, self-confidence and faith. These are potentials you need to discover within yourself. These are spiritual qualities that must be earned. ... Our creative potential calls us to rise above the self's basic need for survival in the physical world. We're called to grow beyond our self.” ~Caroline Myss
"You cannot change anything in your life with intention alone, which can become a watered-down, occasional hope that you'll get to tomorrow. Intention without action is useless." ~Caroline Myss

and what you do, between what you promise and what you deliver, is like a

actions. Ask yourself everyday, were your thoughts, words and actions
aligned? Ask someone else what they saw in you too. Feedback is the food
of all positive change." ~Thought for Today-UK

Dr. Wayne Dyer Quotes
"A mind at peace, a mind centered and not focused on harming others, is stronger than any physical force in the universe." ~Wayne Dyer
"A person who lives in a state of unity with the Source of all life doesn’t look any different from ordinary folks. These people don’t wear a halo or dress in special garments that announce their godlike qualities. But when you notice that they go through life as the lucky ones who seem to get all the breaks, and when you begin to talk to them, you realize how distinctive they are compared to people living at ordinary levels of awareness. Spend a few moments in conversation with these people who are connected to the power of intention and you see how unique they are." ~Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, How To Tap In To The Power Of Intention
"Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into." ~Wayne Dyer
"Anything you really want, you can attain, if you really go after it." ~Wayne Dyer
"As I look back at the entire tapestry of my life, I can see from the perspective of the present moment that every aspect of my life was necessary and perfect. Each step eventually led to a higher place, even though these steps often felt like obstacles or painful experiences." ~Wayne Dyer
"Be a student. Stay open and willing to learn from everyone and anyone." ~Wayne Dyer
"Be soft like water. Like water, flow everywhere there’s an opening, rather than attempting to dominate with your forcefulness. Soften your hard edges by being more tolerant of contrary opinions. Interfere less, and substitute listening for directing and telling. When someone offers you their viewpoint, try responding with: ‘I’ve never considered that before - thank you. I’ll give it some thought'." ~Dr. Wayne Dyer
"By banishing doubt and trusting your intuitive feelings, you clear a space for the power of intention to flow through." ~Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
"Conflict cannot survive without your participation" ~Wayne Dyer
"Creativity means believing you have greatness." ~Dr. Wayne D. Dwyer
"Don’t die with your music still inside you. Listen to your intuitive inner voice and find what passion stirs your soul. Listen to that inner voice, and don’t get to the end of your life and say, ‘What if my whole life has been wrong?” ~Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
"Every person you interact with should feel the inner glow that comes from being appreciated, particularly for the ways in which they express their creativity. A core theme, which strengthens the flow of the power of intention, is wanting for others as much as you intend for yourself." ~Dr. Wayne Dyer
"Everything you 'have to have' owns you." ~Wayne D. Dyer
"Faith is a way of going within and creating a sense of control over one’s life at any given moment." ~Dr Wayne Dyer

"Happiness is not something you get in life. Happiness is something that you bring to life." ~Wayne Dyer
"Harbouring anger and hatred toward anyone guarantees that you remain in low energy fields where problems will continue to crop up repeatedly in your life. I suggest that you examine every relationship in which you feel judgmental thoughts of anger and hatred. Replace those thoughts with energies of acceptance, kindness, cheerfulness, and love. You will have to make a personal commitment to, first of all, notice what you are feeling and then exercise your ability to choose to send love. When your heart becomes pure, your enemy becomes your friend, or even more significantly, your teacher. Your worst enemies are your greatest teachers because they allow you to examine the emotions of anger and revenge and then to transcend them. They give you the exact tools you need to elevate yourself to the spiritual energies that provide your solutions." ~Wayne Dyer
"Heaven on Earth is a choice you must make, not a place you must find." ~Wayne Dyer
"I believe that young children are examples of beings who see and feel the presence of angels because they live virtuous, nonjudgmental lives. It seems that this angelic communication that little boys and girls report so frequently comes to them without their seeking. And this is in large part because angels recognize their own Divine qualities in those who have yet to be victimized by their own egos." ~Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
"I have a suit in my closet with the pocket cut out. It's a reminder to me that I won't be taking anything with me. The last I wear won't need any pockets." ~Dr. Wayne Dyer
"If you believe it will work out, you'll see opportunities. If you believe it won't, you will see obstacles." ~Wayne Dyer
"If you can know deep within that your invisible self wants the body it inhabits to be as healthy as possible, then you're a student who is ready." ~Dr. Wayne D. Dyer
"If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." ~Wayne Dyer
"If you don’t make peace with your past it will keep showing up in your present." ~Wayne Dyer
"If you want others to feel loved, you will be the recipient of love." ~Wayne Dyer
"Initiate a practice of filling your creative thoughts to overflow with ideas and wishes that you fully intend to manifest. Honor your imaginings regardless of others seeing them as crazy or impossible." ~Wayne Dyer
"It's never crowded along the extra mile." ~Dr Wayne Dyer
"Judgements prevent us from seeing the good that lies beyond appearances." ~Wayne Dyer
"Life is very simple. We create our experiences by our thinking and feeling patterns. What we believe about ourselves and about Life becomes true for us." ~Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

"Look for the blessing in all situations." ~Wayne Dyer (Chicken Soup for the Soul)
"Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves without any insistence that they satisfy you." ~Wayne Dyer

"Miracles come in moments. Be ready and willing." ~Wayne Dyer
"Motivation is building a fire within not lighting a fire beneath!" ~Wayne Dyer
"My goal is not to be better than anyone else, but to be better than I used to be." ~Wayne Dyer

"Now is all there is and the future is just another present moment to live when it arrives." ~Wayne Dyer
"Observe yourself and others in this nutty world, and then decide whether to carry around anger or develop a sense of humour that will give you and others one of the most priceless gifts of all - laughter." ~Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
"Once you realise that what you think about is the source of your experience of reality, then you'll begin to pay more attention to what you're thinking in any given moment." ~Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
"Peace is the result of retraining your mind to process life as it is, rather than as you think it should be." ~Wayne W. Dyer
"Present-moment living, getting in touch with your now, is at the heart of effective living. When you think about it, there really is no other moment you can live. Now is all there is and the future is just another present moment to live when it arrives." ~Dr. Wayne Dyer
"Release the need to be upset with others. Remember that anytime you're filled with resentment, you're turning the controls of your emotional life over to others to manipulate." ~Dr. Wayne Dyer
"Releasing guilt is like removing a huge weight from your shoulders. Guilt is released through the empowering thought of love and respect for yourself. Let go of standards of perfection and refuse to use up the precious currency of your life, the now, with thoughts that continue to frustrate and weaken you. Instead, vow to be better than you used to be, which is the true test of nobility." ~Dr Wayne Dyer

When you make the shift to supporting others in your life, without expecting anything in return, you'll think less about what you want and find comfort and joy in the act of giving and serving." ~Wayne Dyer
"The highest form of ignorance, is when you reject something you don't know anything about." ~Wayne Dyer

"The more we give away, the more is given to us." ~Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
"The most empowering thoughts you can have are those of peace, joy, love, acceptance, and willingness." ~Wayne W Dyer
"The only difference between a flower and a weed is judgment." ~Dr Wayne Dyer
"The positive effect of kindness on the immune system and on the increased production of serotonin in the brain has been proved on research studies. Serotonin is a naturally occurring substance in the body that makes us feel more comfortable, peaceful, and even blissful. In fact the role of most anti-depressants is to stimulate the serotonin production to alleviate depression. Research has shown that a simple act of kindness directed toward another improves the functioning of the immune system and stimulates production of serotonin in both the recipient of the kindness and the person extending the kindness. Even more amazing is that persons observing the act of kindness have similar beneficial results. Imagine this: kindness extended, received, or observed beneficially impacts the physical health and feelings of everyone involved." ~Dr. Wayne Dyer
"The real purpose of life is just to be happy—to enjoy your life. To get to a place where you're not always trying to get someplace else. So many people spend their lives striving, trying to be someplace that they're not, they never get to arrive." ~Dr. Wayne Dyer
"The state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of your state of mind." ~Wayne Dyer
"There is no stress in the world, only people thinking stressful thoughts." ~Wayne Dyer
"To begin to change what’s inside you, become more loving toward yourself. In your thoughts, cultivate an inner voice and attitude that’s 100 percent on your team. Imagine an inner self that only supports and loves you. You might schedule a certain time of day when that’s the only thought that you allow yourself to pay attention to. Gradually this loving attitude will extend to other people. You’ll begin to receive this energy back and ultimately be able to send thoughts of love and joy to everyone and everything in your world." ~Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
"Try viewing everyone who comes into your life as a teacher." ~Dr. Wayne Dyer
"We are divine enough to ask and we are important enough to receive." ~Wayne Dyer
"We are not our bodies, our possessions, or our careers. Who we are is Divine Love and that is infinite." ~Dr Wayne Dyer
"When confronted by mean-spiritedness, and hateful gossip, respond to it from your position of love: "I don't want to make any judgments." Rather than criticizing the mean-spirited person, silently project love. The greatest gift you can offer the world is Love!" ~Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
"When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." ~Dr. Wayne Dyer

This love is boundless and infinite, and when you think and behave in ways that match this Divine love, that is when you are able to experience miracles." ~Wayne Dyer
"With everything that has happened to you, you can either feel sorry for yourself or treat what has happened as a gift. Everything is either an opportunity to grow or an obstacle to keep you from growing. You get to choose." ~Dr. Wayne Dyer
"Without exception, begin every day of your life with gratitude. As you look in the mirror, say, "Thank you, God, for life, for my body, for my family and loved ones, for this day, and for the opportunity to be of service. Thank you, thank you, thank you!" ~Dr. Wayne Dyer

"You are important enough to ask and you are blessed enough to receive back." ~Wayne Dyer
"You can only give away what you have inside. Become an instrument of love." ~Wayne Dyer
"You can't be authentic unless you are following your bliss." ~Wayne Dyer
"You can't expect to draw people into your life who are kind, confident, and generous if you're thinking and acting in cruel, weak, and selfish ways. You must be what it is that you're seeking— that is, you need to put forth what you want to attract. — Wayne Dyer
"You have to continuously contemplate yourself as being surrounded by the conditions you wish to produce." ~Wayne Dyer
"You cannot be lonely if you like the person you’re alone with." ~Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

Embrace them all and move on to the next act." ~Dr. Wayne Dyer

The DALAI LAMA Quotes
"A disciplined mind leads to happiness, and an undisciplined mind leads to suffering." ~Dalai Lama
"A good heart is both important and effective in daily life." ~Dalai Lama, The Power of Love
"A good motivation is what is needed: compassion without dogmatism, without complicated philosophy; just understanding that others are human brothers and sisters and respecting their human rights and dignity." ~14th Dalai Lama
"A good motivation is what is needed: compassion without dogmatism, without complicated philosophy; just understanding that others are human brothers and sisters and respecting their human rights and dignity." ~14th Dalai Lama
"A heart full of love and compassion is the main source of inner strength, willpower, happiness, and mental tranquility." ~Dalai Lama
"A spiritual practice is a constant battle within, replacing previous negative conditioning or habituation with new positive conditioning.” ~Dalai Lama
"Actions motivated by anger and greed tend to be violent, whereas those motivated by compassion and concern for others are generally peaceful. We won’t bring about peace in the world merely by praying for it; we have to take steps to tackle the violence and corruption that disrupt peace. We can’t expect change if we don’t take action." ~Dalai Lama
"All the major religions teach us the practice of love, compassion and forgiveness. So a genuine practitioner among these different religious traditions would not indulge in violence and bullying of other people. Now we’re in the 21st century. I think people should realize that all problems must be solved through dialogue, through talk. Use of force and violence is outdated and never solves problems." ~The Dalai Lama
"An open heart is an open mind." ~Dalai Lama
"An optimistic attitude is the key factor for success. Right from the beginning, if you hold a pessimistic attitude even small things may not be achieved." ~Dalai Lama
"Anger, jealousy, impatience, and hatred are the real troublemakers; with them problems cannot be solved." -Dalai Lama
"As human beings we all want to be happy and free from misery. We have learned that the key to happiness is inner peace. The greatest obstacles to inner peace are disturbing emotions such as anger, attachment, fear and suspicion, while love and compassion and a sense of universal responsibility are the sources of peace and happiness." ~Dalai Lama
"As you breathe in, cherish yourself. As you breathe out, cherish all Beings." ~Dalai Lama
"Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible." ~Dalai Lama

"The time has come to take concrete steps to bring about a real transformation in the ways we educate our future generations. We need to combine both an education of the mind with an education of the heart so that our children grow up as responsible, caring citizens equipped to meet the challenges of today's increasingly globalized world." ~Dalai Lama
"The true hero is one who conquers his own anger and hatred." ~Dalai Lama
"The ultimate source of a happy life is warm-heartedness. This means extending to others the kind of concern we have for ourselves. On a simple level we find that if we have a compassionate heart we naturally have more friends. And scientists today are discovering that while anger and hatred eat into our immune system, warm-hearted- ness and compassion are good for our health." ~Dalai Lama
"There are always problems to face, but it makes a difference if our minds are calm. On the surface we may get upset, but it makes a difference if we are able to stay calm in the depths of our minds." ~Dalai Lama
"There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called yesterday and the other is called tomorrow, so today is the right day to love, believe, do and mostly live." ~Dalai Lama

"Do not let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace." ~Dalai Lama
"Good Communitation: Compassion opens an inner door, and once through the door we can communicate with other fellow human beings and other sentient beings." ~Dalai Lama
"DO AS YOU WOULD BE DONE BY - Since at the beginning and end of our lives we are so dependent on other kindness, how can it be that in the middle we neglect kindness towards others." ~Dalai Lama

I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry, or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can." ~His Holiness The Dalai Lama
"Experience has shown me that the greatest inner tranquillity comes from developing love and compassion. The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being. Cultivating a close, warm-hearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It helps remove our fears and insecurities and gives us strength to face obstacles - it is the ultimate source of success in life." ~Dalai Lama
"For a practitioner of love and compassion, an enemy is one of the most important teachers. Without an enemy, you cannot practice tolerance, and without tolerance, you cannot build a sound basis of compassion." ~His Holiness the Dalai Lama
"From my point of view all things originate with the mind. The quality of our actions depends on our motivation. A real appreciation of humanity, compassion, and love are crucial to this. Whether we work in science, agriculture, or politics, if we’re good hearted about it, our contribution will be positive." ~Dalai Lama
"Give the ones you love wings to fly, roots to come back and reasons to stay." ~Dalai Lama
"Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions." ~Dalai Lama
"I am open to the guidance of synchronicity, and do not let expectations hinder my path." ~Dalai Lama
"I believe all suffering is caused by ignorance. People inflict pain on others in the selfish pursuit of their happiness or satisfaction. Yet true happiness comes from a sense of peace and contentment, which in turn must be achieved through the cultivation of altruism, of love and compassion, and elimination of ignorance, selfishness, and greed." ~His Holiness the Dalai Lama
"I believe that the only true religion consists of having a good heart." ~Dalai Lama
“I believe the only true religion consists of having a good heart.” ~Dalai Lama
"I consider we are all the same as human beings, mentally, emotionally and physically. In order to ensure a more peaceful world and a healthier environment we sometimes point a finger at others saying they should do this or that. But change must start with us as individuals. If one individual becomes more compassionate it will influence others and so we will change the world." ~Dalai Lama, FB, 8 July 2016
"I feel optimistic about the future because humanity seems to be growing more mature; scientists are paying more attention to our inner values, to the study of mind and the emotions. There is a clear desire for peace and concern for the environment." ~Dalai Lama (FB)
"I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe." ~Dalai Lama
"I’ve learned that peace of mind is not just a matter of dullness, but of being alert and using my intelligence to the full. If we only look at problems we face close up they seem very grave, but looked at from different angles our attitude becomes more realistic. The mind remains calm, which we need if we’re going to be able to exercise our intelligence." ~Dalai Lama
"I sometimes wish that grown human beings were more like children, who are naturally open and accepting of others. Instead, as we grow up, we fail to nurture our natural potential and our sense of fundamental human values. We need to learn to distinguish emotions like anger and attachment that are destructive from positive ones like compassion that are a source of happiness." ~Dalai Lama
"I think that cultivating an awareness of the fundamental equality of all human beings is what’s important. We all have the same human body, the same human emotions, and the same human mind. If you get stabbed, you bleed; if I get stabbed, I bleed. If you lose someone you love, you feel sad; and if I lose someone I deeply care about, I feel sad. And if we both reflect on an important truth, we each gain new knowledge." ~Dalai Lama
"I try to develop compassion within myself. Not simply as a religious practice, but on a humane level as well." ~Dalai Lama(14th Dalai Lama)
"I will be truthful, if something is upsetting, however, I am learning to curb the emotion of anger that can give way to powerlessness when this affects the life of someone vulnerable that I'm advocating for." ~Dalai Lama
"If a problem can be solved there is no use worrying about it. If it can't be solved, worrying will do no good." ~Dalai Lama
“If every eight year old in the world is taught meditation, we will eliminate violence from the world within one generation.” – Dalai Lama
"If happiness is relying on others or the environment or your surroundings, it’s not possible. Like an ocean, the waves always go like that but underneath, it always remains calm. So we have the ability as well. On an intellectual level, we may see things as desperate, difficult. But underneath, at the emotional level, you can keep calm.” ~The Dalai Lama
"If humanity is to survive, happiness and inner balance are crucial. Otherwise the lives of our children and their children are more likely to be unhappy, desperate and short. Material development certainly contributes to happiness, to some extent and a comfortable way of life. But this is not sufficient. To achieve a deeper level of happiness, we cannot neglect our inner development." ~Dalai Lama
"If it can be solved, there's no need to worry, and if it can't be solved, worry is of no use." ~Dalai Lama
"If one's life is simple, contentment has to come. Simplicity is extremely important for happiness. Having few desires, feeling satisfied with what you have, is very vital: satisfaction with just enough food, clothing, and shelter to protect yourself from the elements." ~the Dalai Lama
"If we are demoralized, sad and only complain, we’ll not solve our problems. If we only pray for a solution, we’ll not solve our problems. We need to face them, to deal with them without violence, but with confidence - and never give up. If you adopt a non-violent approach, but are also hesitant within, you’ll not succeed. You have to have confidence and keep up your efforts - in other words, never give up." ~Dalai Lama
"If we have a kind and loving heart we will win more friends." ~Dalai Lama, Making Friends
"Do not let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace." ~Dalai Lama
"Good Communitation: Compassion opens an inner door, and once through the door we can communicate with other fellow human beings and other sentient beings." ~Dalai Lama
"DO AS YOU WOULD BE DONE BY - Since at the beginning and end of our lives we are so dependent on other kindness, how can it be that in the middle we neglect kindness towards others." ~Dalai Lama

"Each of us must learn to work not just for his or her own self, family or nation, but for the benefit of all mankind." ~Dalai Lama
"Every day, think as you wake up, "Today I am fortunate to have woken up. I am alive, I have a precious human life. I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others, to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry, or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can." ~His Holiness The Dalai Lama
"Experience has shown me that the greatest inner tranquillity comes from developing love and compassion. The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being. Cultivating a close, warm-hearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It helps remove our fears and insecurities and gives us strength to face obstacles - it is the ultimate source of success in life." ~Dalai Lama
"For a practitioner of love and compassion, an enemy is one of the most important teachers. Without an enemy, you cannot practice tolerance, and without tolerance, you cannot build a sound basis of compassion." ~His Holiness the Dalai Lama
"From my point of view all things originate with the mind. The quality of our actions depends on our motivation. A real appreciation of humanity, compassion, and love are crucial to this. Whether we work in science, agriculture, or politics, if we’re good hearted about it, our contribution will be positive." ~Dalai Lama
"Give the ones you love wings to fly, roots to come back and reasons to stay." ~Dalai Lama
"Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions." ~Dalai Lama
"I am open to the guidance of synchronicity, and do not let expectations hinder my path." ~Dalai Lama
"I believe all suffering is caused by ignorance. People inflict pain on others in the selfish pursuit of their happiness or satisfaction. Yet true happiness comes from a sense of peace and contentment, which in turn must be achieved through the cultivation of altruism, of love and compassion, and elimination of ignorance, selfishness, and greed." ~His Holiness the Dalai Lama
"I believe that the only true religion consists of having a good heart." ~Dalai Lama
“I believe the only true religion consists of having a good heart.” ~Dalai Lama
"I consider we are all the same as human beings, mentally, emotionally and physically. In order to ensure a more peaceful world and a healthier environment we sometimes point a finger at others saying they should do this or that. But change must start with us as individuals. If one individual becomes more compassionate it will influence others and so we will change the world." ~Dalai Lama, FB, 8 July 2016
"I feel optimistic about the future because humanity seems to be growing more mature; scientists are paying more attention to our inner values, to the study of mind and the emotions. There is a clear desire for peace and concern for the environment." ~Dalai Lama (FB)
"I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe." ~Dalai Lama
"I’ve learned that peace of mind is not just a matter of dullness, but of being alert and using my intelligence to the full. If we only look at problems we face close up they seem very grave, but looked at from different angles our attitude becomes more realistic. The mind remains calm, which we need if we’re going to be able to exercise our intelligence." ~Dalai Lama
"I sometimes wish that grown human beings were more like children, who are naturally open and accepting of others. Instead, as we grow up, we fail to nurture our natural potential and our sense of fundamental human values. We need to learn to distinguish emotions like anger and attachment that are destructive from positive ones like compassion that are a source of happiness." ~Dalai Lama
"I think that cultivating an awareness of the fundamental equality of all human beings is what’s important. We all have the same human body, the same human emotions, and the same human mind. If you get stabbed, you bleed; if I get stabbed, I bleed. If you lose someone you love, you feel sad; and if I lose someone I deeply care about, I feel sad. And if we both reflect on an important truth, we each gain new knowledge." ~Dalai Lama
"I try to develop compassion within myself. Not simply as a religious practice, but on a humane level as well." ~Dalai Lama(14th Dalai Lama)
"I will be truthful, if something is upsetting, however, I am learning to curb the emotion of anger that can give way to powerlessness when this affects the life of someone vulnerable that I'm advocating for." ~Dalai Lama
"If a problem can be solved there is no use worrying about it. If it can't be solved, worrying will do no good." ~Dalai Lama
“If every eight year old in the world is taught meditation, we will eliminate violence from the world within one generation.” – Dalai Lama
"If happiness is relying on others or the environment or your surroundings, it’s not possible. Like an ocean, the waves always go like that but underneath, it always remains calm. So we have the ability as well. On an intellectual level, we may see things as desperate, difficult. But underneath, at the emotional level, you can keep calm.” ~The Dalai Lama
"If humanity is to survive, happiness and inner balance are crucial. Otherwise the lives of our children and their children are more likely to be unhappy, desperate and short. Material development certainly contributes to happiness, to some extent and a comfortable way of life. But this is not sufficient. To achieve a deeper level of happiness, we cannot neglect our inner development." ~Dalai Lama
"If it can be solved, there's no need to worry, and if it can't be solved, worry is of no use." ~Dalai Lama
"If one's life is simple, contentment has to come. Simplicity is extremely important for happiness. Having few desires, feeling satisfied with what you have, is very vital: satisfaction with just enough food, clothing, and shelter to protect yourself from the elements." ~the Dalai Lama
"If we are demoralized, sad and only complain, we’ll not solve our problems. If we only pray for a solution, we’ll not solve our problems. We need to face them, to deal with them without violence, but with confidence - and never give up. If you adopt a non-violent approach, but are also hesitant within, you’ll not succeed. You have to have confidence and keep up your efforts - in other words, never give up." ~Dalai Lama
"If we have a kind and loving heart we will win more friends." ~Dalai Lama, Making Friends
"If you are able to transform adverse situations into factors of the spiritual path, hindrances will become favourable conditions for spiritual practice." ~Dalai Lama
"If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them." ~Dalai Lama
"If you feel compassion for people, it is hard to be angry with them. If you feel compassion for yourself, it is hard to feel guilty." ~Dalai Lama
"If you live your life honestly and truthfully, you'll be open and transparent, which leads to trust. And trust leads to friendship. This is something worth taking into account, that the basis of friendship is trust not money and warm-heartedness is essential if we are to live happy lives." ~Dalai Lama
"If you want to be happy, practice compassion." ~Dalai Lama
"In our concern for others, we worry less about ourselves. When we worry less about ourselves an experience of our own suffering is less intense. What does this tell us? Firstly, because our every action has a universal dimension, a potential impact on others’ happiness, ethics are necessary as a means to ensure that we do not harm others. Secondly, it tells us that genuine happiness consists in those spiritual qualities of love, compassion, patience, tolerance and forgiveness and so on. For it is these which provide both for our happiness and others’ happiness." ~His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
"In the final analysis, the hope of every person is simply peace of mind." ~Dalai Lama
"In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher." ~Dalai Lama
"In your daily life, as you learn more patience, more tolerance with wisdom and courage, you will see it is the true source of success." ~Dalai Lama

“Intelligence creates a lot of problems, but it is very useful.” ~Dalai Lama
"It's far more useful to be aware of a single shortcoming in ourselves than it is to be aware of a thousand in someone else." ~Dalai Lama XIV
"It is not enough to be compassionate - you must act." ~Dalai Lama
"It is often difficult to judge how our actions and their impact on the environment are likely to affect others. What is clear is that we are the only species with the power to destroy the earth. Birds and insects have no such power, nor does any other mammal. And yet if we have the capacity to destroy the earth, we also have the capacity to protect it. I believe we have an urgent responsibility to do so." ~Dalai Lama
"Instead of harboring fear and suspicion we need to think of other people not as ‘them’ but ‘us’." ~His Holiness the Dalai Lama

"Love is the absence of judgment." ~Dalai Lama
"Mental transformation takes time, but it becomes easier with familiarity. Don’t entertain unrealistic expectations; it doesn’t take place quickly. It requires patience and determination over months and years, but if you keep it up, at the end of your life you’ll be content." ~Dalai Lama
"Most of us have been conditioned … Since armies are legal, we feel that war is acceptable; in general, nobody feels that war is criminal or that accepting it is a criminal attitude. In fact, we have been brainwashed. War is neither glamorous nor attractive. It is monstrous. It's very nature is one of tragedy and suffering." ~Dalai Lama
"No matter what sort of difficulties, how painful experience is, if we lose our hope, that's our real disaster." ~Dalai Lama XIV
"Nothing in the world can bother you as much as your own mind, I tell you. In fact, others seem to be bothering you, but it is not others. It is your own mind." ~Dalai Lama

“Nowadays the world is becoming increasingly materialistic, and mankind is reaching toward the very zenith of external progress, driven by an insatiable desire for power and vast possessions. Yet by this vain striving for perfection in a world where everything is relative, they wander even further away from inward peace and happiness of the mind.” ~Dalai Lama
"Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day." ~Dalai Lama

"On Earth Day 2021, I appeal to my brothers and sisters throughout the world to look at both the challenges and the opportunities before us on this one blue planet that we share. Its life is our life, its future our future. Like children, we are all dependent on mother earth. Let us all commit ourselves to making a positive difference to the environment of our only common home." ~Dalai Lama

"Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them." ~The Dalai Lama
"People take different roads seeking fulfilment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost." ~Dalai Lama
"People were created to be loved. Things were created to be used. The reason why the world is in chaos is because things are being loved and people are being used." ~Dalai Lama
"Practice what you preach. We should engage in the same high standards of integrity and sacrifice that we ask of others." ~Dalai Lama

"Silence is sometimes the best answer." ~Dalai Lama XIV
"Sleep is the best meditation." ~The Dalai Lama

"Sometimes one creates a dynamic impression by saying something, and sometimes one creates as significant an impression by remaining silent." ~His Holiness The Dalai Lama
"Students who become overly attached to one subject become lopsided, many subjects need to be studied." ~Dalai Lama
"Teach by example. Before teaching others, before changing others, we ourselves must change. We must be honest, sincere and kind-hearted." ~Dalia Lama
"The creatures that inhabit this earth be they human beings or animals are here to contribute, each in its own particular way, to the beauty and prosperity of the world." ~H.H.the Dalai Lama
"The fear and unease that arise from mistrust and suspicion, seeing other people in terms of “us” and “them”, is not easily overcome by just closing your eyes or saying a prayer. It’s real concern for others that breeds trust and leads to friendship and a sense of security. Inner peace, a practical source of peace and confidence, depends on warm-heartedness and a concern for others’ well being." ~Dalai Lama
"The interesting thing about greed is that although the underlying motive is to seek satisfaction, even after obtaining what you want, you’re still not satisfied. It’s this endless, nagging desire for more that leads to trouble. On the other hand, if you’re truly contented, it doesn't matter whether you get what you want or not. Either way, you remain content." ~Dalai Lama

"THE PURPOSE OF OUR LIVES IS TO BE HAPPY." ~The 14th Dalai Lama
"The reason that love and compassion provide us the most joy is that our existence values them above all else. The urge for love is at the heart of every human being's life. It is the result of our intimate connection with one another." ~Dalai Lama, The Purpose of Life
"The reason why we seek to behave in a good manner is that it's from good behaviour that good fruits are derived," ~Dalai Lama, Reaping the Benefits
"The time has come to take concrete steps to bring about a real transformation in the ways we educate our future generations. We need to combine both an education of the mind with an education of the heart so that our children grow up as responsible, caring citizens equipped to meet the challenges of today's increasingly globalized world." ~Dalai Lama
"The true hero is one who conquers his own anger and hatred." ~Dalai Lama
"The ultimate source of a happy life is warm-heartedness. This means extending to others the kind of concern we have for ourselves. On a simple level we find that if we have a compassionate heart we naturally have more friends. And scientists today are discovering that while anger and hatred eat into our immune system, warm-hearted- ness and compassion are good for our health." ~Dalai Lama
"There are always problems to face, but it makes a difference if our minds are calm. On the surface we may get upset, but it makes a difference if we are able to stay calm in the depths of our minds." ~Dalai Lama
"There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called yesterday and the other is called tomorrow, so today is the right day to love, believe, do and mostly live." ~Dalai Lama
" There are two different kinds of happiness. The first is the enjoyment of pleasure through our senses. But we can also experience happiness at the deeper level through our mind, such as through love, compassion, and generosity characterized by a sense of fulfillment. While the joy of the senses is brief, the joy at this deeper level is much longer lasting. It is true joy." ~Dalai Lama
"There is a need for greater warm-heartedness and compassion. We are now so interdependent that it is in our own interest to take the whole of humanity into account. It clear that real hope lies with the generation who, now less than 30 years old, belong to the 21st century. If they start now to learn from the past and shape a different future, by later this century the world can be a happier more peaceful place." ~Dalai Lama

"There needs to be understanding that anger never helps to solve a problem. It destroys our peace of mind and blinds our ability to think clearly. Anger and attachment are emotions that distort our view of reality. " ~Dalai Lama
"This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness." ~Dalai Lama
"To have an idea what genuine human compassion is like, look at children. Naturally open and honest, they don't care about other children’s background, what their religion or their nationalities are, so long as they smile and play together. It’s as we grow older that the trouble begins—we only smile to get what we want. But when we see other human beings as being like us and show concern - that's genuine compassion." ~Dalai Lama
"Today, more than ever before, life must be characterized by a sense of Universal responsibility, not only nation to nation and human to human, but also human to other forms of life." ~Dalai Lama

"True compassion is not just an emotional response but a firm commitment founded on reason." ~The Dalai Lama

"We believe money is the ultimate source of happiness. But if I value inner happiness, even if I am poor, I may be happier than a billionaire. The attitude of our whole society is to place too much emphasis on the value of material things, and not to pay sufficient attention to inner values. I think that's a mistake. It’s helpful to discuss these things to create a broader understanding of human happiness." ~Dalai Lama
"We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection." ~Dalai Lama
"We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves." ~Dalai Lama XIV
"We often add to our pain and suffering by being overly sensitive, over reacting to minor things, and sometimes taking things too personally." ~Dalai Lama
"We should feel fed up with the violence and killing going on around us. If a human being is killed by an animal, it’s sad, but if a human being is killed by another human being it’s unthinkable. We have to make a special effort to think of each other as fellow human beings, as our brothers and sisters." ~ Dalai Lama

"When the criterion for leadership was physical strength, men became leaders. Now, however, education has overcome such distinctions and there is greater regard for equal rights among women and men. Where old ways of thinking discriminate against women, we should change them. Since science shows that women are more sensitive to others’ pain, they have a special role to play in promoting compassion and human values." ~Dalai Lama
"When we are born, we have no idea of nationality or religious faith. We are just human beings who want to be happy. We are social creatures who need to live together as friends. An affectionate response brings a smile, which leads to trust that can grow into friendship and so bring us together. Genuine friends are those who continue to support you when things get difficult." ~Dalai Lama

"When you practice gratefulness, there is a sense of respect toward others." ~Dalai Lama
"When you think everything is someone else's fault, you will suffer a lot." ~Dalai Lama
"Whether one believes in a religion or not, whether one asserts that there are former and future lifetimes or not, there is no one who does not appreciate compassion." ~Dalai Lama
"Whether one is rich or poor, educated or illiterate, religious or non-believing, man or woman, black, white, or brown, we are all the same. Physically, emotionally, and mentally, we are all equal. We all share basic needs for food, shelter, safety, and love. We all aspire to happiness and we all shun suffering. Each of us has hopes, worries, fears, and dreams. Each of us wants the best for our family and loved ones. We all experience pain when we suffer loss and joy when we achieve what we seek. On this fundamental level, religion, ethnicity, culture, and language make no difference." ~Dalai Lama
