More From Dalai Lama

We can work on inner peace and world peace at the same time. on one hand, people have found inner peace by losing themselves in a cause larger than themselves, like the cause of world peace, because finding inner peace means coming from the self-centered life into the life centered in the good of the whole. on the other hand, one of the ways of working for world peace is to work for more inner peace, because world peace will never be stable until enough of us find inner peace to stabilize it.

Oil is a tangible commodity, so there is a global market. the fact that we may need less may affect the global price because we're big consumers: we probably take about a quarter of global demand. but if suddenly, let's just use a crazy example, fighting in the middle east led to the closure of the strait of hormuz and no oil could get out through the strait of hormuz, well that would affect china, india, europe, it will affect the whole global economy. it will affect us, too, then.

We can never obtain peace in the world if we neglect the inner world and don't make peace with ourselves. world peace must develop out of inner peace. without inner peace it is impossible to achieve world peace, external peace. weapons themselves do not act. they have not come out of the blue. man has made them. but even given those weapons, those terrible weapons, they cannot act by themselves. as long as they are left alone in storage they cannot do any harm. a human being must use them. someone must push the button. satan, the evil powers, cannot push that button. human beings must do it.

What we are told of the inhabitants of brazil, that they never die but of old age, is attributed to the tranquility and serenity of their climate; i rather attribute it to the tranquility and serenity of their souls, which are free from all passion, thought, or any absorbing and unpleasant labors. those people spend their lives in an admirable simplicity and ignorance, without letters, without law, without king, without any manner of religion.

Do you take me for a sponge, my lord? hamlet: ay, sir; that soaks up the king's countenance, his rewards, his authorities. but such officers do the king best service in the end: he keeps them, like an ape, in the corner of his jaw; first mouthed, to be last swallowed: when he needs what you have gleaned, it is but squeezing you, and, sponge, you shall be dry again. rosencrantz: i understand you not, my lord. hamlet: i am glad of it: a knavish speech sleeps in a foolish ear.

Biographical history, as taught in our public schools, is still largely a history of boneheads; ridiculous kings and queens, paranoid political leaders, compulsive voyagers, ignorant general the flotsam and jetsam of historical currents. the men who radically altered history, the great scientists and mathematicians, are seldom mentioned, if at all.
Queens Kings Teaching
So many vows … they make you swear and swear. defend the king. obey the king. keep his secrets. do his bidding. your life for his. but obey your father. love your sister. protect the innocent. defend the weak. respect the gods. obey the laws. it’s too much. no matter what you do, you’re forsaking one vow or another.
