Awareness<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Religion, any religion, no matter what sort of wonderful religion, never is universal.

Selfishness<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;If we think only of ourselves, forget about other people, then our minds occupy a very small area. Inside that small area, even tiny problem appears very big. But the moment you develop a sense of concern for others, you realize that, just like ourselves, they also want happiness; they also want satisfaction. When you have this sense of concern, your mind automatically widens. At this point, your own problems, even big problems, will not be so significant. The result? Big increase in peace of mind. So, if you think only of yourself, only your own happiness, the result is actually less happiness. You get more anxiety, more fear.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">34.

Without them humanity cannot survive.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">36. Material possessions<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Physical comforts cannot subdue mental suffering, and if we look closely, we can see that those who have many possessions are not necessarily happy. In fact, being wealthy often brings even more anxiety.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">37. Reaching certain stages<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Human use, population, and technology have reached that certain stage where mother Earth no longer accepts our presence with silence.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">38. Suppressing anger<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Generally speaking, if a human being never shows anger, then I think something&#8217;s wrong. He&#8217;s not right in the brain.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama <\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">39. About sleep<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Sleep is the best meditation.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">40. The way to establish world peace<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;World peace must develop from inner peace. Peace is not just mere absence of violence. Peace is, I think, the manifestation of human compassion.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">41. Worrying about unsolvable problems<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;If there is no solution to the problem then don&#8217;t waste time worrying about it. If there is a solution to the problem then don&#8217;t waste time worrying about it.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">42. The benefits of difficult times<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Hard times build determination and inner strength. Through them we can also come to appreciate the uselessness of anger. Instead of getting angry nurture a deep caring and respect for troublemakers because by creating such trying circumstances they provide us with invaluable opportunities to practice tolerance and patience.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">43. About children<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Look at children. Of course they may quarrel, but generally speaking they do not harbor ill feelings as much or as long as adults do. Most adults have the advantage of education over children, but what is the use of an education if they show a big smile while hiding negative feelings deep inside? Children don\u0092t usually act in such a manner. If they feel angry with someone, they express it, and then it is finished. They can still play with that person the following day.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">44. What happens during times of adversity<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;It is under the greatest adversity that there exists the greatest potential for doing good, both for oneself and others.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">45. The purpose of religion<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The purpose of all the major religious traditions is not to construct big temples on the outside, but to create temples of goodness and compassion inside, in our hearts.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">46. Having compassion with others<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;A truly compassionate attitude toward others does not change even if they behave negatively or hurt you.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">47. The consequences of ignorance<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;All suffering is caused by ignorance. People inflict pain on others in the selfish pursuit of their own happiness or satisfaction<br \/>\nDalai Lama<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">48. Taking risks<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">49. The importance of friendship<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;A good friend who points out mistakes and imperfections and rebukes evil is to be respected as if he reveals the secret of some hidden treasure.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">50. Practicing compassion<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I believe compassion to be one of the few things we can practice that will bring immediate and long-term happiness to our lives. I\u2019m not talking about the short-term gratification of pleasures like sex, drugs or gambling (though I\u2019m not knocking them), but something that will bring true and lasting happiness. The kind that sticks.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">51. Living life<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;There is only one important point you must keep in your mind and let it be your guide. No matter what people call you, you are just who you are. Keep to this truth. You must ask yourself how is it you want to live your life. We live and we die, this is the truth that we can only face alone. No one can help us, not even the Buddha. So consider carefully, what prevents you from living the way you want to live your life?<br \/>\nDalai Lama<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">52. Violent suppression<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;It is difficult to violently suppress people in the long run, as the example of the Soviet Union and the Eastern European countries has shown.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama <\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">53. The pursuit of happiness<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Happiness doesn&#8217;t always come from a pursuit. Sometimes it comes when we least expect it.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">54. Changing within<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;True change is within; leave the outside as it is.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">55. Dealing with enemies<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I defeat my enemies when I make them my friends.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">56. Open hearts<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;An open heart is an open mind.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">57. The wish to live<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Life is as dear to a mute creature as it is to man. Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not die, so do other creatures.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">58. Indifference<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;To remain indifferent to the challenges we face is indefensible. If the goal is noble, whether or not it is realized within our lifetime is largely irrelevant. What we must do therefore is to strive and persevere and never give up.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">59. Doing something good<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We are visitors on this planet. We are here for one hundred years at the very most. During that period we must try to do something good, something useful, with our lives. if you contribute to other people&#8217;s happiness, you will find the true meaning of life.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">60.

Other people\u2019s actions<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Someone else&#8217;s action should not determine your response.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">62. The features of human life<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The various features and aspects of human life, such as longevity, good health, success, happiness, and so forth, which we consider desirable, are all dependent on kindness and a good heart.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">63. Avoiding difficulties<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Although you may not always be able to avoid difficult situations, you can modify the extent to which you can suffer by how you choose to respond to the situation.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">64. Ignoring moral principles<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Dangerous consequences will follow when politicians and rulers forget moral principles. Whether we believe in God or karma, ethics is the foundation of every religion.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">65. Pursuing moral ethics<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Irrespective of whether we are believers or agnostics, whether we believe in God or karma, moral ethics is a code which everyone is able to pursue.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">66. Disciplining your mind<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Whether our action is wholesome or unwholesome depends on whether that action or deed arises from a disciplined or undisciplined state of mind. It is felt that a disciplined mind leads to happiness and an undisciplined mind leads to suffering, and in fact it is said that bringing about discipline within one&#8217;s mind is the essence of the Buddha&#8217;s teaching.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">67. Compassion and wisdom<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;When we are motivated by compassion and wisdom, the results of our actions benefit everyone, not just our individual selves or some immediate convenience.

About walking the walk<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;It is not enough to be compassionate, we must act.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">72. Developing inner happiness<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">73. We are all the same<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Whether one is rich or poor, educated or illiterate, religious or nonbelieving, 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.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">74. Disciplined minds<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;A disciplined mind leads to happiness, and an undisciplined mind leads to suffering.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">75. The beauty of a genuine smile<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;A genuine, affectionate smile is very important in our day-to-day lives.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">76. Inner tranquility<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I have found that the greatest degree of inner tranquility comes from the development of love and compassion. The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being. Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It is the ultimate source of success in life.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">77. Being afraid of suffering<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Every single being, even those who are hostile to us, is just as afraid of suffering as we are, and seeks happiness in the same way we do. Every person has the same right as we do to be happy and not to suffer. So let&#8217;s take care of others wholeheartedly, of both our friends and our enemies. This is the basis for true compassion.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">78. The precious nature of life<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Let us try to recognize the precious nature of each day.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">79. What it means to be at home<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Home is where you feel at home and are treated well.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">80. Abandoning false beliefs<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;If scientific analysis were conclusively to demonstrate certain claims in Buddhism to be false, then we must accept the findings of science and abandon those claims.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">81. Practicing compassion<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">82. Fixing problems<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;If a problem is fixable, if a situation is such that you can do something about it, then there is no need to worry. If it&#8217;s not fixable, then there is no help in worrying. There is no benefit in worrying whatsoever.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">83. Equality between the genders<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The basic Buddhist stand on the question of equality between the genders is age-old. At the highest tantric levels, at the highest esoteric level, you must respect women: every woman.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">84. Being tolerant<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;In the practice of tolerance, one&#8217;s enemy is the best teacher.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">85. A wasted life<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Because of lack of moral principle, human life becomes worthless. Moral principle, truthfulness, is a key factor. If we lose that, then there is no future.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama <\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">86. The importance of practicing gratefulness<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;When you practice gratefulness, there is a sense of respect toward others.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">87. Changing others<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The way to change others&#8217; minds is with affection, and not anger.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">88. About being a monk<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I describe myself as a simple Buddhist monk. No more, no less.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">89. Being afraid of pain<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;If you have fear of some pain or suffering, you should examine whether there is anything you can do about it. If you can, there is no need to worry about it; if you cannot do anything, then there is also no need to worry.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">90. Being open to change<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Open your arms to change but don&#8217;t let go of your values.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">91. Being angry<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Anger is the ultimate destroyer of your own peace of mind.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">92. Dynamic impressions<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Sometimes one creates a dynamic impression by saying something, and sometimes one creates as significant an impression by remaining silent.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama <\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">93. Appreciating goodness<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">94. About force and fear<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Logically, harmony must come from the heart&#8230; Harmony is very much based on trust. As soon as use force, creates fear. Fear and trust cannot go together.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">95. Interdependence<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Appearance is something absolute, but reality is not that way &#8211; everything is interdependent, not absolute. So that view is very helpful to maintain a peace of mind because the main destroyer of a peaceful mind is anger.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">96. Appreciating kindness and compassion<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Whether one believes in a religion or not, and whether one believes in rebirth or not, there isn&#8217;t anyone who doesn&#8217;t appreciate kindness and compassion.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama <\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">97. Try to help others<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">98. Solving problems<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The best way to resolve any problem in the human world is for all sides to sit down and talk.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama <\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">99. Finding hope<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">100. Being kind<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;To be kind, honest and have positive thoughts; to forgive those who harm us and treat everyone as a friend; to help those who are suffering and never to consider ourselves superior to anyone else: even if this advice seems rather simplistic, make the effort of seeing whether by following it you can find greater happiness.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">101. The way to become prosperous<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;In order to become prosperous, a person must initially work very hard, so he or she has to sacrifice a lot of leisure time.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama <\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">102. The results of a lack of transparency<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;A lack of transparency results in distrust and a deep sense of insecurity.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">103. Love<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Love is the absence of judgment.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">104. Ignorance<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Where ignorance is our master, there is no possibility of real peace.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">105. Changing history<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The Chinese government wants me to say that for many centuries Tibet has been part of China. Even if I make that statement, many people would just laugh. And my statement will not change past history. History is history.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">106. Being discontent<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;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, &#8216;Oh yes &#8211; I already have everything that I really need.&#8217;<br \/>\nDalai Lama<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">107. About climate change<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Some scientists believe climate change is the cause of unprecedented melting of the North Pole, and that effects these very uncertain weather patterns. I think we should listen to those scientists and experts.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">108. Unfolding your potential<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;With the realization of one&#8217;s own potential and self-confidence in one&#8217;s ability, one can build a better world.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">109. Past, present, and future<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Time passes unhindered. When we make mistakes, we cannot turn the clock back and try again. All we can do is use the present well.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">110. About miracles<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;If some people have the belief or view that the Dalai Lama has some miracle power, that&#8217;s totally nonsense.&#8221;<br \/>\n<b>Dalai Lama<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">111.
