Dalai Lama Peace and Compassion Expert

Tenzin Gyatso is the fourteenth and current Dalai Lama, and he is often referred to as simply, “the Dalai Lama”. At the age of fifteen, after being found by a search party out to find the new incarnation of the Dalai Lama, he was enthroned as Tibet's Head of State and most important political ruler. The Dalai Lama was only able to rule for a brief time, as Tibet faced occupation by the forces of the People's Republic of China (PRC). In 1954, the Dalai Lama went to Beijing to talk with Mao Zedong and other leaders of the PRC.

After the collapse of the Tibetan resistance movement in 1959, the Dalai Lama fled to India. While in India, he was active in establishing the Central Tibetan Administration (the Tibetan government in exile), and worked to preserve Tibetan culture and education for the more than 80,000 refugees who accompanied him. Tenzin Gyatso is the first Dalai Lama to travel to the West, where he has appealed to the United Nations to require China to respect the human rights of Tibetans, helped to spread Buddhism and to promote the concepts of universal responsibility, secular ethics, and religious harmony.

He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989, for his efforts for a peaceful resolution in the struggle of Tibet’s liberation. He was also awarded the Honorary Canadian citizenship in 2006, and the United States' Congressional Gold Medal in 2007.

Getting Started with Dalai Lama 

A great place to start is with the Dalai Lama’s The Art of Happiness, which mixes Buddhist tradition with common sense to illustrate how one can defeat feelings such as anger, anxiety, depression, and other destructive emotions. Another great work of the Dalai Lama’s is, How To Practice: The Way To A Meaningful Life, an accessible reference guide for life's hard decisions. It will teach ways of opening your heart, how to refrain from hurting others, how to retain mental wellness, and more. These teachings are divided into distinct steps and are designed for people of all faiths to learn from.

Finally there's Advice On Dying, in which the stages of death are described in a way that the reader comes to see death as the ultimate journey into transformation rather than an end. In this way the Dalai Lama shows us how to prepare for that time and, in doing so, how to enrich our time on earth, die without fear, and influence the stage between this life and the next so that we may gain the best possible incarnation. All of the books the Dalai Lama writes share the common thread of His Holiness' excited spirit and sense of playful calm. The Dalai Lama’s writings offer a new world of spiritual and mental awareness meant to center one’s heart and prepare one not only for the day to day grind of the world, but also help you live a fuller, happier life.

Favorite Quotes and Thoughts
from
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.

  • Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

  • Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.

  • I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe.

  • If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them.

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

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

  • It is very important to generate a good attitude, a good heart, as much as possible.

  • From this, happiness in both the short term and the long term for both yourself and others will come. Perfect health, pure and invincible, is the state we have lost. Regain it, and we regain a world.
