**************************************************************************

"If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them."

"In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher."

"Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive."

"My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness."

"All major religious traditions carry basically the same message, that is love, compassion and forgiveness the important thing is they should be part of our daily lives."

"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."

"Where ignorance is our master, there is no possibility of real peace." 

"There is a saying in Tibetan, "Tragedy should be utilized as a source of strength."  No matter what sort of difficulties, how painful experience is, if we lose our hope, that's our real disaster."

"I believe in justice and truth, without which there would be no basis for human hope."

The Dalai Lama

(1935-)
