Dalai Lama - Mine 10 yndlings citater

Dalai Lama - en af mine allerstørste inspirationskilder besøger i dag Danmark. Desværre forhindrede arbejdet mig i at deltage i hans foredrag, men jeg har tidligere deltaget i hans foredrag - som man kun kan anbefale. Foruden hans fantastiske filosofi og varme gemyt, så er et foredrag med Dalai Lama noget helt andet end andre almindelige foredrag. Selvom jeg er meget videnskabeligt orienteret, så vil jeg påstå, at alle uanset religion eller ateistisk overbevisning kan mærke, når Dalai Lama træder ind i lokalet. Dalai Lama har en helt speciel ro og fylder rummet på en helt anden måde end andre store personligheder. Det er faktisk en oplevelse i sig selv. Her er 10 fantastiske citater af den levende legende:

1. If you have willpower, then you can change anything. It is usually said that you are your own master.

2. There is a saying in Tibetan: Tragedy should be utilized as a source of strength.

3. In our struggle for freedom, truth is the only weapon we possess.

4. 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.

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

6. To conquer oneself is a greater victory than to conquer thousands in a battle.

7. We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.

8. Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

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

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