The Dalai Lama is undoubtedly one of the most important people in the world today - Why? because he preaches LOVE, COMPASSION & KINDNESS.
In a world that is increasingly full of hate, incredible ignorance, religious bigotry, greed, jealousy, wars, killing, theft, acid attacks, suicide bombers, threat of nuclear attacks, genocide, extinction of animal species, destruction of the worlds' rain forests that give us life and breath, billions of animals and fish killed to satisfy human taste buds and greed - just to name a few of the horrors being perpetuated today by the human race - makes you think doesn't it - at least it should.....
However, despite the above devastation and evil, the human race is also capable of great love and positive achievements. We all have a choice - every small loving action makes a difference - caring for someone, giving someone a smile, being kind, recognising that to kill any person or creature is a terrible sin,. we are all responsible for our lives and our actions.
The Dalai Lama is a massive force for GOOD in this troubled world of ours. If only people realised that COMPASSION, KINDNESS, CONSIDERATION FOR OTHERS and CARING bring HAPPINESS
HATE, PRIDE, IGNORANCE (I am right, you are wrong - My religion or beliefs are the only ones that are right - everyone else is wrong) , CAUSING HARM TO ANYONE OR ANY LIVING CREATURE, JEALOUSY, OVERT DESIRE - They all bring SUFFERING
Here are a selection of incredible quotes from the Dalai Lama to give us thought and hope
