Spirituality Through Dalai Lama Quotes

By , About.com Guide

"Dalai Lama" is a title accorded by Tibetan Buddhists to their religious leader. Tibetan Buddhists believe that the Dalai Lama is a reincarnation of a previous Lama. The tradition of locating the reincarnated leader exists even today. The current Dalai Lama, who is the fourteenth Dalai Lama, is Tenzin Gyatso and he is currently in exile. Here are some famous Dalai Lama quotes.

  • Kindness

  • Kindness
    The various features and aspects of human life, such as longevity, good health, success, happiness, and so forth, which we consider desirable, are all dependent on kindness and a good heart.

  • Religion
    This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.

  • Happiness
    When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace.
