Quotes

The spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism and a prominent advocate for peace, compassion, and nonviolence. As the 14th Dalai Lama, he has been a vocal proponent of human values, interfaith dialogue, and the pursuit of a more compassionate and harmonious world. His efforts in promoting Tibetan culture and autonomy, alongside his Nobel Peace Prize award in 1989, underscore his commitment to resolving conflicts through peaceful means and fostering mutual understanding among diverse communities.

It seems to me that self-confidence and the ability to stand one's ground are essential if we want to succeed in life. I am not talking of stupid self-assurance but of an awareness of our inner potential, a certainty that we can always correct our behavior, improve ourselves, enrich ourselves, and that things are never hopeless.
