Dalai Lama

I describe myself as a simple Buddhist monk. No more, no less.

We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.

If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them.

You can just never desist. You have to always push back, whatever the pressures put on you.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

I grow daily to honour facts more and more, and theory less and less. A fact, it seems to me, is a great thing; a sentence printed, if not by God, then at least by the Devil.
