“It would be much more constructive if people tried to understand their supposed enemies. Learning to forgive is much more useful than merely picking up a stone and throwing it at the object of one’s anger, the more so when the provocation is extreme. For it is under the greatest adversity that there exists the greatest potential for doing good, both for oneself and others” 

― Dalai Lama

“The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered "Man! Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.” 

― Dalai Lama

“People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road does not mean they are lost. - Dalai Lama” 

“There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies.

My brain and my heart are temples, my philosophy is kindness.”
