[dalailamaquotes]

Desire cannot be fulfilled. Moreover, when you are desiring, desiring, desiring, you face many obstacles, disappointments, unhappiness, and difficulties. Great desire not only knows no end but also itself creates trouble.

The Dalai Lama (via dalailamaquotes)

[dalailamaquotes]

Sooner or later death will come. We do not want it, but once we are under the influence of contaminated actions and afflictive emotions, it will definitely come. If right from the beginning you think about death and prepare fully, such preparation can help when death actually comes.

The Dalai Lama (via dalailamaquotes)

[dalailamaquotes]

Our planet is our house, and we must keep it in order and take care of it if we are genuinely concerned about happiness for ourselves, our children, our friends, and other sentient beings who share this great house with us.

The Dalai Lama (via dalailamaquotes)

[dalailamaquotes]

You must build your basic mental attitude in a healthy way, like in the case of a healthy body. If the immune system is strong, then some virus or germs can’t disturb you much. So similarly, your mental attitude has to be calm, then if some disturbance comes, even if some negative emotions come, they remain for a very short period. All the emotions remain on the surface, and do not disturb much in depth.

The Dalai Lama (via dalailamaquotes)

[dalailamaquotes]
