The Dalai Lama Global Vision Summit 2021: The Power of Compassion - Discover the transformative power of compassion, as exemplified by the Dalai Lama, with teachings and meditations from 20+ experts in this worldwide free online event October 14-18, https://t.co/QmhPdsK2KI

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Peace in the world depends on peace within. If we have that we’ll approach problems in a spirit of dialogue, compassion and respect for the rights of others—always a better solution than resorting to a use of weapons and force. External disarmament depends on inner disarmament.

Introduction to Buddhism Retreat, 27-30 August, with Venerable Jampa https://t.co/wpelOnBIJI #buddhism #retreat #Atisha

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Since we desire the happiness that comes from having a calm mind, and such peace of mind arises only from having a compassionate attitude, we must make a concerted effort to develop compassion. We must use all the events of our daily life to transform our thoughts and behavior.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Like anyone else, I too have anger in me. However, I try to recall that anger is a destructive emotion. Scientists say anger is bad for our health; it eats into our immune system. It destroys our peace of mind. We shouldn't welcome it or think of it as natural or as a friend.

"At certain times of year when the wildflowers are out, and the wattles, one mass flowering of wattle will finish then another variety will take over. The landscape has its uniqueness.” Ken, Atisha Centre Garden Manager (acacia williamsonii below)

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

The problems humanity faces today demand a positive mental attitude and a sense of compassion for others. I firmly believe we can solve the majority of our problems by developing a sense of universal responsibility—wanting to do something for others without a selfish motive.

Entering into dialogue and talking things through is the only proper way of restraining people intent on perpetuating violent conflict. It is important to make clear that in the 21st century old ways of thinking, such as dependence on the use of force, are no longer appropriate.

Our lives depend on hope. If you have hope, you’ll be able to overcome problems you face. But if you’re without hope, your difficulties will increase. Hope is linked to compassion and loving kindness.

"Our teachers say the best way to happiness is to help others. And if you can do that, then the Centre can do that, and it gives meaning to why you want to be here. The Great Stupa is a huge magnet, and we’ve got the Monastery, Nunnery & Atisha Centre.”- Our resident gardener Ken
