Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.

Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.

The more you are motivated by Love, The more Fearless & Free your action will be.

We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.

Give the ones you love wings to fly, roots to come back and reasons to stay.

Love and Compassion are the true religions to me. But to develop this, we do not need to believe in any religion.

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.

Because we all share an identical need for love, it is possible to feel that anybody we meet,in whatever circumstances, is a brother or sister.

Real change in the world will only come from a change of heart. 

Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.

Love and compassion are the true religions to me. But to develop this, we do not need to believe in any religion.

Even more important than the warmth and affection we receive, is the warmth and affection we give.

If your heart has peace, nothing can disturb you.

Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.

Develop the heart. Too much energy in your country is spent developing the mind instead of the heart.

Just as we can learn how helpful love and compassion can be, we can come to understand that anger, pride, jealousy and arrogance can be detrimental.

Compassion is the wish for another being to be free from suffering; love is wanting them to have happiness.

Kindness and a good heart are the foundation for success in this life, progress on the spiritual path, and the fulfillment of our aspirations. Our need for them is not limited to any specific time, place, society, or culture.

When we feel love and kindness towards others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and 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.

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.

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.

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.

Let us try to recognize the precious nature of each day.

In order to lead a meaningful life, you need to cherish others, pay attention to human values and try to cultivate inner peace.

Seek to be an oasis of caring and concern as you live your life.

Live a life that transcends your own!

My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.

The more you are motivated by love, the more fearless and free your action will be.

The planet does not need more successful people. The planet desperately needs more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of all kinds.

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.

The ultimate source of happiness is not money and power, but warmheartedness.

For our life to be of value, I think we must develop basic good human qualities — warmth, kindness, compassion. Then our life becomes meaningful and more peaceful — happier.

Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be 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.

The remedy is to look deeper and recognize that we human beings are physically, mentally and emotionally the same.

As individuals we can influence our own families. Our families can influence our communities and our communities can influence our nations.

Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions.

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.

If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito.

Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be 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.

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's not fixable, then there is no help in worrying. There is no benefit in worrying whatsoever.

People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they’re not on your road doesn’t mean they’ve gotten lost.

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’t 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.

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.

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.

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's take care of others wholeheartedly, of both our friends and our enemies. This is the basis for true compassion.

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, 'Oh yes -- I already have everything that I really need.

You must understand that even if your adversaries seem to be harming you, in the end their destrucive activity will turn against them.
