Dalai Lama

(1935–) · Tibetan Spiritual Leader

Highest spiritual leader and head of Tibetan Buddhism

The purpose of our lives is to be happy.
Out of 6 billion humans, the troublemakers are just a handful.
In most cases, my visits to the West are for promotion of human values and religious harmony.
If some people have the belief or view that the Dalai Lama has some miracle power, that's totally nonsense.
A lack of transparency results in distrust and a deep sense of insecurity.
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.
Happiness does not come about only due to external circumstances; it mainly derives from inner attitudes.
Love and compassion open our own inner life, reducing stress, distrust and loneliness.
I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe.
More often than not, anger is actually an indication of weakness rather than of strength.
