Dalai Lama, The Dalai Lama, A Po Quotes

A collection of quotes by Dalai Lama, The Dalai Lama, A Po.

Dalai Lama is the spiritual leader of the Tibetan people and a globally recognized advocate for peace and compassion. Born in 1935, he was recognized as the 14th Dalai Lama at the age of two. With a strong emphasis on nonviolence, he has worked tirelessly to promote dialogue, understanding, and harmony among different cultures and religions. His inspirational teachings and unwavering commitment to justice have earned him numerous accolades and a devoted following worldwide. The Dalai Lama's relentless pursuit of inner peace and his efforts to spread love and empathy continue to inspire generations to create a more compassionate world.

Another kind of love and compassion is not based on something appearing beautiful or nice, but based on the fact that the other person, just like oneself, wants happiness and does not want suffering and indeed has every right to be happy and to overcome suffering. On such a basis, we feel a sense of responsibility, a sense of closeness toward that being. That is true compassion. This is because the compassion is based on reason, notjust on emotional feeling. As a consequence, it does not matter what the other's attitude is, whether negative, or positive. What matters is that it is a human being, a sentient being that has the experience of pain and pleasure. There is no reason not to feel compassion so long as it is a sentient being.
