More From Dalai Lama

If you establish a democracy, you must in due time reap the fruits of a democracy. you will in due season have great impatience of public burdens, combined in due season with great increase of public expenditure. you will in due season have wars entered into from passion and not from reason; and you will in due season submit to peace ignominiously sought and ignominiously obtained, which will diminish your authority and perhaps endanger your independence. you will in due season find your property is less valuable, and your freedom less complete.
War Passion Independence
There is, however, in art another kind of external similarity which is founded on a fundamental truth. when there is a similarity of inner tendency in the whole moral and spiritual atmosphere, a similarity of ideals, at first closely pursued but later lost to sight, a similarity in the inner feeling of any one period to that of another, the logical result will be a revival of the external forms which served to express those inner feelings in an earlier age.
Spiritual Art Sight
How does one get rid of fear? ramana: what is fear? it is only a thought. if there is anything besides the self there is reason to fear. who sees things separate from the self? first the ego arises and sees objects as external. if the ego does not rise, the self alone exists and there is nothing external. for anything external to oneself implies the existence of the seer within. seeking it there will eliminate doubt and fear. not only fear, all other thoughts centred round the ego will disappear along with it.
Self Ego Doubt
Inner peace is the key: if you have inner peace, the external problems do not affect your deep sense of peace and tranquility... without this inner peace, no matter how comfortable your life is materially, you may still be worried, disturbed or unhappy because of circumstances.
Life Spiritual Keys
Until you have the inner discipline that brings calmness of mind, external facilities and conditions will never bring the joy and happiness you seek. on the other hand, if you possess this inner quality, calmness of mind, a degree of stability within, even if you lack the various external factors that you would normally require to be happy, it will still be possible to live a happy and joyful life.
Hands Discipline Joy
We can work on inner peace and world peace at the same time. on one hand, people have found inner peace by losing themselves in a cause larger than themselves, like the cause of world peace, because finding inner peace means coming from the self-centered life into the life centered in the good of the whole. on the other hand, one of the ways of working for world peace is to work for more inner peace, because world peace will never be stable until enough of us find inner peace to stabilize it.

Similar Quotes
I plan to stand by nonviolence, because i have found it to be a philosophy of life that regulates not only my dealings in the struggle for racial justice, but also my dealings with people, and with my own self.
Peace Philosophy Struggle
Justice is conscience, not a personal conscience but the conscience of the whole of humanity. those who clearly recognize the voice of their own conscience usually recognize also the voice of justice.
Religious Peace Voice
Better and safer is an assured peace than a victory hoped for. the one is in your own power, the other is in the hands of the gods.
Peace Hands Victory
When christ was about to leave the world, he made his will. his soul he committed to his father; his body he bequeathed to joseph to be decently interred; his clothes fell to the soldiers; his mother he left to the care of john; but what should he leave to his poor disciples that had left all for him? silver and gold he had none; but he left them that which was infinitely better, his peace.
