Overview of The Wisdom Tree Series : Quotes Of The Dalai Lama Book

This is a compilation of wonderful and inspirational quotes by one of the world s most renowned practitioner of the 2500-year-old teachings of Buddhism, Tenzin Gyatso, popularly known as the Dali Lama. In 1989, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace, not only for his personification of the goal of Tibetan Liberation, but much more so for the influence he has had on people all over the world, in guiding them on their personal spiritual quests. If we are to understand the true nature of our minds we must stop remembering the past and stop thinking of the future. True love and compassion exists when the suffering of all others become unbearable whether they be friends, mere acquaintances or even enemies. A monk who had been held captive and brutally tortured for years in an effort to force him to renounce his faith, was asked on his release if he had been afraid. He thought for a while, then smiled and said, Yes, I was afraid. Very afraid. I was afraid towards the end that I would lose compassion for those who tortured me . We must always fight for our rights and in the cause of truth. But always ensure that your fight is just and fought with a kindly attitude. True happiness is possible only in a society where material development coexists with spiritual progress.
