Sir you helped me through the worst of problems. I am a Muslim but living in Singapore, I encountered some horrible problems and felt suicidal. I went to a monk who said, Buddhism is a concept not a religion, I am not here to indoctrinate but rather love and help you as your Muslim self. The monk really helped me. I believe without the monk I may of not been here today. You are an amazing human being Dalai Lama and I hope utmost peace to be delivered to you. You brought me so much inner comfort.

[@jessstead5667]

what a beautiful man , he either makes you smile , laugh , wonder or cry and it just shows how someone in this world can be so knowledgeable , humble , compassionate and loving . we need more people like him in our world

[@picturesquek]

I definitely must have done some good deeds in my past lives that in this life, i am born as a Tibetan, growing up around where he lives, circumambulating his home and to be able to understand clearly when he speaks in Tibetan language. #blessed

"the only thing that brings inner peace is my own inner value"

[@nadermost4864]

Tim G :Incorrect, you should not mistake selfishness for self-acceptance.

[@joycemansfield1108]

Remember what his holiness says too much me ,me,me iii is no good.

[@buddhaexhumed9922]

His holiness has aged. Can someone tell his holiness his Indian Mahasiddhas homes in India are found. I do research on Buddhism in Bihar- I realize Lakhisarai District of Bihar is the birthplace of Vajrayana Buddhism. It seems through Vajrayana, Tibetans preserved the history of Lakhisarai and the surrounding villages for which Bihar will one day be grateful. The villages around Lakhisarai town were the homes of great Buddhist Maha Siddha’s like Padmasambhava, Tilopa, Naropa, Atisa, Buddha Amitabha, and Dakinis like Mandarva, Niguma, Sukhasiddhi and many more. Special importance is the village of Sahur mispronounced by Tibetans as Zahor. Sahur village has a Dakini temple which is definitely Mandarva who was Padmasambhava’s first consort. Two Km east of Sahur (Zahor) is Dhanari lake with an Island which is definitely Lake Dhanakosha. And three km southeast of Dhanari Lake is Urain village which sounds similar to the Urgain in the Tibetan seven line prayer to Padmasambhava. Both Urain and the Tibetan Urgain mean to fly. Sansar Lake is definitely the lake where Padmasambhava was freed from Samsara. There is a temple called Jora temple with half a dozen Padmasambhava stone statues that are ditto Tibetan Thangka paintings of him. These have been compared by Tibetans.

His holiness 14th Dalai Lama is the source of love,compassion and tolerance in this century. long live the Dalai Lama!! May world peace forever!!!

When you listen to this man speak you gotta clear your mind and just take in his message and you learn and understand

[@a.g.4311]

The Dalai Lama is truly wise and selfless. When you hear him speak you realise how few people actually speak purely and without self interest. Nearly every word that comes out most people’s mouths is to benefit them.

[@blakejohnson7043]

I barely listed to this and it gave me what I needed to hear

[@zadenpitts]

Always a pleasure to hear him speak. He is everything that is right with the world.

[@sarfrazmomin4341]

No he is not! I am not Chinese, and I am not from Tibetan Buddhist tradition that the Dailai Lama deamed a cult. I am from Denmark, were HH have more people worshipping him than most other places, because of who he appeals to......

[@ThePie45dude]

Yes

[@sylvielopez2686]

[@samzel3624]

I have no idea what he's saying but I like it.

[@stephenholt5793]

i respect your honest answer sam , i would suggest reading the book (the art of happiness) on the dali lama

[@alfiprice6148]

Sam I do understand him, it just took me about 3 months to fully understand his accent.

[@eonko9207]

lol

[@mikewright902]

That microphone is way too close to his mouth!!!!

[@robhartman01]

You have no idea what he is saying?

[@irikanji]

Compassion forgiveness and a realistic outlook....... I'm feeling better already hearing these great words of wisdom. :)

[@WatersofHealth]

Compassion, spirit of forgiveness and a realistic attitude. That's what brought him inner peace. Great formulation.

[@moniquewaverlycarr]

Makes lots of sense, his concept that what's in our thoughts create our happiness and unhappiness.

[@angelahodgins660]

I had the great honour listening to you speak in Calgary Alberta Canada. I would love to hear you again. Very inspiring and loving. :)

[@TheChickson]

Angela Hodgins u live in Calgary....

[@kevingoodhope5683]

Thank-you for your time and consideration. These are important lessons. I say a Clive Barker quote. People are like books. The cover of books vary, but humans like books are Read when opened

[@TheJureDe]

Always good to contemplate on inner values !

[@protectandsurvivelivinghis3206]

"When I say Brothers and Sisters I really mean that, at this moment we really need that Spirit. "We" and "they" is an outdated concept, we must have a concept [that] takes entire humanity as our brothers [and] Sisters" Well this got more relevant every year in the 12 years since this was uploaded, the fact that such a profound statement is only 55 seconds into the video shows the depth not only of the wisdom of His Holiness but his deep compassion for all living beings.

[@deeak81]

its all about having a good heart

[@lindawallace5480]

He has such a beautiful soul xx

[@lilioracle1584]

I feel like his body language and face along with the words make me able to understand him easily

[@Steve-wh9ux]

There are captions for those saying that they cannot understand what he is saying... I can understand what he is saying just fine.

[@MariusBartkevicius]

18:54 the only thing which brings the inner peace is my own inner value, compassion and spiritual forgiveness and also realistic attitude. These things bring inner comfort.

[@CalmInsider]

Awesome, He really altered my understanding of happiness, we even created our own short summary on the book, the art of happiness.

[@kurtbogle2973]

We are all made of this planet. Each and every one of us, Our spirit is the Universe itself. We are all the same. I am you and you are me. We are like waves up on the sea. We rise up take form and have motion Though we are all still the ocean. Kindness for ever!

[@benjaminwalker7793]

So KZbin has apparently decided that I watch the Dalai Lama now. No complaints, no complaints whatsoever!

[@thebuggy736]

The Dalai Lama is our last hope in a world ruled by money. He is a soft person but his speech is very powerful. The truth is always very powerful. He also reaches the people he is on the same level. As an older person he has a lot of live experience.

[@alfiprice6148]

I'm deeply honored and to have the very blessing to be alive with this Wise and Humble person whom I learned so much from.

everyone has the ability to be enlightened, I hope people will wake up to this truth. You dont need to dress like a monk and act like the Zen masters.You need a great discipline and consciousness development. You should start with meditation habits 20 mins a day.

[@coffeepot3123]

Venting frustration/sadness/anger in front of others instead of dealing with the issue. Two friends of my mother comes to mind. Always so uncertain even now in their 40's. Either calling or showing up just to talk for 2 hours about stuff they could deal with. It's not even something serious most of the time, some unpleasant remark or action at work etc. If the suffering is due to my own mistakes, then i will keep it to myself and try my best to deal with it. Nobody can carry us past the finishing line. I feel sorry for my mother who has to listen to this. It's seldom a visit without "bad news" being brought up

[@yurikaspring]

He knows why Japanese has changed. They used to be happy with family, friends even at work. They were more thoughtful, caring , understanding and wise. No depression.

A critical mind combines all. Fears dont count. He speaks like an aunt. But all my respect for his engagement.

According to the Mahāyāna Mahāparinirvāṇa Sūtra, a Mahayana sutra giving Gautama Buddha's final teachings, the Buddha insisted that his followers should not eat any kind of meat or fish. ... Therefore, one's own flesh and the flesh of another are a single flesh, so Buddhas do not eat meat. This being compassionate to all living things brings inner peace.. not all who smile and laugh on the outside are peaceful on the inside..Buddha knew the way..

[@RickarooCarew]

so.. listening.. and thinking about how we can change our World to one of Peace ... it's been an issue for me all my life.. so I have given it a lot of thought... and I think I have, perhaps, come up with an answer.. and it's quite simple.. the use of force and coercion is wrong.. I think almost everyone can agree with that... our children should be included in this idea.. the use of corpoal punishment is.. definitely force and coercion.. on smaller people.. it's teaching our children that the use of force and coercion is ok.. especially on smaller people... let's stop... see what happens let's give Peace a chance it's our only hope Peace ✌️🕊️☮️☯️♾️🙏 please 🙏

[@RickarooCarew]

thank you your Holiness.. for all you do for a better World.. you are the finest example of a teacher I have ever met.. teaching Peace.. sitting at your feet.. I am your humble servant, sir ad Infinitum Namaste

[@cdvw8242]

the mention of force, though.. it must be considered in some cases. While the mind becomes influenced with peace, it can also be influenced with the will the act.

Please do not use unedited machine translation to render His Holiness' teachings.

[@NorrisPeel2680]

This is a way to improve the relationship with the objective world and strive for freedom by transforming the subjective world. Its core is to transform knowledge into wisdom. Consciousness-only thinking uses eight consciousnesses to explain the structure of mind consciousness. The main function of the first six consciousnesses is cognition; the seventh and last consciousness is also called ego consciousness, which is the source of all troubles, so this consciousness answers the fundamental question of life and death in reincarnation. The eighth alaya is the mind body. It is the reason for the existence of life, the source of the continuous karmic cycle, and the source of the realization of the world’s dharmas, because the alaya is a kilesas, and the all dhammas manifested by it are also vain. You persist in feeling driven by inner peace,living environment does not indeed relied on signs.

[@davidrivers872]

The Dalai Lama himself has created an enquiry as to the best way to proceed with his succession. He has proposed a new system, where they choose a monk with the spiritual, cultural and political experience who may potentially take up the seat. This is in his own words. His concerns come from the little reincarnated boy who was abducted and never seen again.
