15 Nuggets of Truth from the Dali Lama

By: Aazdak Alisimo..

We move through life much as a car drives down a road. As you move along, it is easy to start straying from the straight and narrow without realizing it. Contemplate these pearls of wisdom from the Dali Lama to see where you are on the road of life.

1. Anything that contradicts experience and logic should be abandoned.

2. I myself feel, and also tell other Buddhists that the question of Nirvana will come later. There is not much hurry. If in day to day life you lead a good life, honesty, with love, with compassion, with less selfishness, then automatically it will lead to Nirvana.

3. Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive.

4. I pray for a more friendly, more caring, and more understanding human family on this planet. To all who dislike suffering, who cherish lasting happiness, this is my heartfelt appeal.

5. With realization of one's own potential and self confidence in one's ability, one can build a better world.

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

7. Where ignorance is our master, there is no possibility of real peace.

8. My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.

9. A truly compassionate attitude toward others does not change even if they behave negatively or hurt you.

10. True compassion is universal in scope. It is accompanied by a feeling of responsibility.

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

12. In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher.

13. For those who may not find happiness to exercise religious faith, it's okay to remain a radical atheist, it's absolutely an individual right, but the important thing is with a compassionate heart then no problem.

14. All major religious traditions carry basically the same message, that is love, compassion and forgiveness ... the important thing is they should be part of our daily lives.

15. Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend or a meaningful day.

The real beauty of the Dali Lama is the fact his views are acceptable to all religions. They also take into account the nature of daily life in this modern world. If even one quote above makes you think, then he has accomplished his goal.
