His Holiness The Dalai Lama
A prayer from His Holiness The Dalai Lama at the Nobel Peace Lecture, Oslo, Norway
"For as long as space endures,
And for as long as living beings remain,
Until then may I, too, abide
To dispel the misery of the world.
Thank You"

"Whether one beleives in a religion or not,
and wether one beleives in rebirth or not,
there isn't anyone who doesn't appreciate kindness and compassion."
His Holines The Dalai Lama
"Love and kindness are the very basis of society.
If we lose these feelings, society will face tremendous
difficulty; the survival of humanity will be endangered."
His Holines The Dalai Lama

"Together with material developement, we need spiritual developement so that inner peace and social harmony can be experienced. Without inner peace, without inner calm, it is difficult to have lasting external peace."
Mental Peace. If you reduce anger and attachment, you reach a point when your mind always remains calm or stable. Strong anger and attachment create waves in your mind. People may not realize when they yeld to desire or develope attachment that it will cause them mental unrest. But actually, when a strong desire or attachment occurs, during that moment mental peace is lost. To reduce attachment, especially anger or hatred, leads to mental calmness. That is what we call mental peace."

"We can never obtain peace in the world if we neglect the inner world and don't make peace with ourselves. World peace must develop out of inner peace. Without inner peace it is impossible to achieve world peace. weapons themselves do not act. They have not come out of the blue. Man has made them. But even given those weapons, those terrible weapons, they cannot act by themselves. As long as they are left alone in storage, they cannot do any harm. A human being must use them. Someone must push the button. Satan, the evil powers, cannot push that button. Human beings must do it."
"How do we create peace and happiness? With weapons? Of course not. With money? In some cases, but not all. But in love, in sharing people's suffering, yes. Good motivation is a sound basis for peace."
"To be aware of a single shortcoming within ourselves is more useful than to be aware of a thousand in somebody else. Rather than speaking badly of people and in ways that will produce friction and unrest in their lives, we should practice a purer perception of them, and speak of their good qualities. If you find yourself slandering anybody, just fill your mouth with excrement. That will break you of the habit quickly enough."
"The consequences of karma are definite: negative actions always bring about suffering, and positive actions always bring about happiness. If you do good, you will have happiness, if you do bad, you yourself will sufer.
