Tenzin Gyatso (Dalai Lama) Quotes on Ethics

4 quotes

  1. I believe that at every level of society - familial, tribal, national and international - the key to a happier and more successful world is the growth of compassion. We do not need to become religious, nor do we need to believe in an ideology. All that is necessary is for each of us to develop our good human qualities.

  2. Sectarian feelings and criticism of other teachings or other sects is very bad, poisonous, and should be avoided.

  3. It is necessary to help others, not only in our prayers, but in our daily lives. If we find we cannot help others, the least we can do is to desist from harming them.

  4. Follow the three Rs: Respect for self, Respect for others and Responsibility for all your actions.
