More Quotes from Dalai Lama:
We begin from the recognition that all beings cherish happiness and do not want suffering. It then becomes both morally wrong and pragmatically unwise to pursue only one's own happiness oblivious to the feelings and aspirations of all others who surround us as members of the same human family. The wiser course is to think of others when pursuing our own happiness.Dalai Lama
The ultimate authority must always rest with the individual's own reason and critical analysis.
Dalai Lama
Every noble work is bound to face problems and obstacles. It is important to check your goal and motivation thoroughly. One should be very truthful, honest, and reasonable. One's actions should be good for others, and for oneself as well. Once a positive goal is chosen, you should decide to pursue it all the way to the end. Even if it is not realized, at least there will be no regret.
Dalai Lama
The very purpose of religion is to control yourself, not to criticize others. Rather, we must criticize ourselves. How much am I doing about my anger About my attachment, about my hatred, about my pride, my jealousy These are the things which we must check in daily life.
Dalai Lama

Dalai Lama
Through money or power you cannot solve all problems. The problem in the human heart must be solved first.
