Wisdom Quote by Dalai Lama XIV — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

““The more you are motivated by Love,”

“If the enemy had no intention of harming us, then we would not classify that person as an enemy... It is his or her very intention of harming us which makes that person an enemy and because of that the enemy provides us with an opportunity to practice tolerance and patience. Therefore an enemy is indeed a precious teacher.”

“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.”

“We can also speak of the external enemy...destroying Tibetan rights and, in that way, more suffering and anxiety develops. But no matter how forceful this is, it cannot destroy the supreme source of my happiness, which is my calmness of mind. This is something an external enemy cannot destroy.”

“Give the ones you love wings to fly, roots to come back and reasons to stay.”

“Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.”

“As soon as anger knocks at one’s door, wisdom prepares to leave.”

“I have said: "Blow out the lamp! Day is here!" And you keep saying: "Give me a lamp so I can find the day.”

“A man convinced against his will”

“Love between man and woman cannot be built without sacrifices and self-denial.”

“You can't quantify blood. your blood can't be fractioned into parts. Just like the color of a person's skin doesn't make them less human, blood quantum doesn't make someone less Cahuilla.”

“Having children makes you no more a parent than having a piano makes you a pianist.”
