Famous quotes by Dalai Lama:

"All major religious traditions carry basically the same message, that is love, compassion and forgiveness ... the important thing is they should be part of our daily lives."

"Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values."

"As human beings we all want to be happy and free from misery… we have learned that the key to happiness is inner peace. The greatest obstacles to inner peace are disturbing emotions such as anger, attachment, fear and suspicion, while love and compassion and a sense of universal responsibility are the sources of peace and happiness."

"If you have a particular faith or religion, that is good. But you can survive without it."

"This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness."

"Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them."

"Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck."

"I believe that the very purpose of our life is to seek happiness. That is clear. Whether one believes in religion or not, whether one believes in this religion or that religion, we all are seeking something better in life. So, I think, the very motion of our life is towards happiness…"

"I believe that the very purpose of life is to be happy. From the very core of our being, we desire contentment. In my own limited experience I have found that the more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being. Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It helps remove whatever fears or insecurities we may have and gives us the strength to cope with any obstacles we encounter. It is the principal source of success in life. Since we are not solely material creatures, it is a mistake to place all our hopes for happiness on external development alone. The key is to develop inner peace."

"We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection."

"If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion."

"In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher."

"When you practice gratefulness, there is a sense of respect toward others."

"I think really, China, Chinese, I think they really have a long history of civilization, rich culture."

"Chinese people themselves, they really want change."

"My faith helps me overcome such negative emotions and find my equilibrium."

"The ultimate authority must always rest with the individual's own reason and critical analysis."

"Today, more than ever before, life must be characterized by a sense of Universal responsibility, not only nation to nation and human to human, but also human to other forms of life."

"It is difficult to violently suppress people in the long run, as the example of the Soviet Union and the Eastern European countries has shown."

"As long as I am alive, I am fully committed to amity between Tibetans and Chinese. Otherwise there's no use."

Ein Flugzeug liegt im Abendwind
An Bord ist auch ein Mann mit Kind
Sie sitzen sicher sitzen warm
Und gehen so dem Schlaf ins Garn
In drei Stunden sind sie da
Zum Wiegenfeste der Mama
Die Sicht ist gut der Himmel klar
Weiter, weiter ins Verderben
Wir müssen leben bis wir sterben
Der Mensch gehört nicht in die Luft
So der Herr im Himmel ruft
Seine Söhne auf dem Wind
Bring mir dieses Menschenkind
Das Kind hat noch die Zeit verloren
Da springt ein Widerhall zu Ohren
Ein dumpfes Grollen treibt die Nacht
Und der Wolkentreiber lacht
Schüttelt wach die Menschenfracht
Weiter, weiter ins Verderben
Wir müssen leben bis wir sterben
Und das Kind zum Vater spricht
Hörst du denn den Donner nicht
Das ist der König aller Winde
Er will mich zu seinem Kinde
Aus den Wolken tropft ein Chor
Kriecht sich in das kleine Ohr
Komm her, bleib hier
Wir sind gut zu dir
Komm her, bleib hier
Wir sind Brüder dir
Der Sturm umarmt die Flugmaschine
Der Druck fällt schnell in der Kabine
Ein Dumpfes Grollen treibt die Nacht
In Panik schreit die Menschefracht
Weiter, weiter ins Verderben
Wir müssen leben bis wir sterben
Und zum Herrgott fleht das Kind
Himmel himm zurück den Wind
Bring uns unversehrt zu Erden
Aus den Wolken tropft ein Chor
Kriecht sich in das kleine Ohr
Komm her, bleib hier
Wir sind gut zu dir
Komm her, bleib hier
Wir sind Brüder dir
Der Vater hält das Kind jetzt fest
Hat es sehr an sich gepreßt
Bemerkt nicht dessen Atemnot
Doch die Angst kennt kein Erbarmen
So der Vater mit den Armen
Drückt die Seele aus dem Kind
Diese setzt sich auf den Wind und singt
Komm her, bleib hier
Wir sind gut zu dir
Komm her, bleib hier

Take my picture and hang it on the wall
Take my hand child and walk me down the hall.
Never look away never let me stray
Keep me on the chain baby every damn day
Take my picture let it slip away
