Please do all you can to help evacuate people at risk in Afghanistan - before it is too late. @HeatherWheeler #EvacuateNow #OurResponsibility

We need to learn to manage our emotions and achieve inner peace. Our education should include an understanding of how to achieve peace of mind. Education should teach us how to live properly, how to balance our wish for physical comfort with mental comfort.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

If you focus narrowly on the problem as you see it, you might well lose hope, but if you look at it from a wider perspective, it's easier to be more positive. When I decided to leave Tibet, we set out not knowing if we would live to see the following day, but I never gave up hope

The aim of education should be to train happy individuals who make up a peaceful society. It requires warm-heartedness and taking a broad-minded, holistic and far-sighted approach that enables people to cope, whatever happens. It entails focussing on the good of the community.

Don’t miss this evening of mayhem as they tear off their cracker crowns and light the figgy pudding with their flaming tongues. They will roast each other better than your Grandma roasts the Christmas turkey! Tix: https://t.co/CjTu2wcPWq

As an avowed campaigner for the elimination of all nuclear weapons, I welcome the fact that the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons has now been ratified by fifty countries and will come into force from January next year. https://t.co/wlxji7VM4f

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Violence is not so much about the use of weapons as about the motive we have in our hearts. External disarmament will only be achieved if we first achieve inner disarmament. World peace will only be won on the basis of inner peace — achieving that is our #PeaceDayChallenge

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

The time has come to accept that if we're talking about peace in the world, we first have to create peace within ourselves. Join us for @ThePeaceStudio summit on 9/21 as we think about ways we can #OfferPeace in our daily lives. RSVP here: https://t.co/zXMqR5AoMb

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

As human beings we essentially belong to the same family and we have to think of each other as part of ‘us’. To develop peace in the world, we have to educate people to understand that we are all the same in being human.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

I have no hesitation in supporting initiatives that help protect the environment. This is a question of survival because this beautiful blue planet is our only home. https://t.co/SPGh7DPZui

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I take the opportunity to urge governments, organizations and individuals to rededicate themselves to making the achievement of peace the centerpiece of our lives. https://t.co/jQjSW8hS66

John Hume’s deep conviction in the power of dialogue and negotiations to resolve conflict was unwavering. It was his leadership and his faith in the power of negotiations that enabled the 1998 Good Friday Agreement to be reached — an example for us all. https://t.co/bPXcNndiSw

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

What is important is not so much how long you live as whether you live a meaningful life. This doesn’t mean accumulating money and fame, but being of service to your fellow human beings. It means helping others if you can, but even if you can’t do that, at least not harming them.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

As a result of material development and modern education, people commonly seek happiness in external things, but neglect their minds. True, lasting happiness depends on our taming our unruly minds. This is not so much about intellectual development as cultivating a warm heart.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Material development is important, but it only provides physical comfort. Peace of mind contributes to good health. Families that are moved by kindness, whether rich or poor, are happy; whereas those that are rich, but lacking in kindness and affection are unhappy.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

In our world today, we’re heavily dependent upon each other. It’s essential, therefore, that we cooperate with one another—then we’ll be able to solve many problems. Good relations, heart to heart, are important and necessary—everything depends upon our having a good motivation.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

We can no longer exploit the resources of this earth—the trees, the water, and other natural resources—without any care for coming generations. Common sense tells us that unless we change, we won’t survive. This Earth Day let’s resolve to live in harmony with nature.
