Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Quotes

Nothing can be accomplished just by reading words.A sick man will never be cured of his illness through merely reading medical instructions! Picture Quote #1

Happiness and suffering are states of mind, and so their main causes cannot be found outside the mind Picture Quote #1

The more we want certain situations, the more we find ourself stuck in situations we do not want Picture Quote #1

Since inner peace is the source of all happiness, we can see how important meditation is Picture Quote #1

Our mind is like a field, and performing actions is like sowing seeds in that field Picture Quote #1

When things go wrong in our life and we encounter difficult situations, we tend to regard the situation itself as our problem, but in reality whatever problems we experience come from the side of the mind. If we were to respond to difficult situations with a positive or peaceful mind they would not be problems for us; indeed, we may even come to regard them as challenges or opportunities for growth and development. Problems arise only if we respond to difficulties with a negative state of mind. Therefore, if we want to be free from problems, we must transform our mind Picture Quote #1

Buddha’s teachings are scientific methods to solve the problems of all living beings permanently Picture Quote #1

Patience is a strength, not a weakness; and if by practicing patience we stop retaliating to harm and criticism, people will gradually come to understand that our real nature is very special Picture Quote #1

Normally we divide the external world into that which we consider to be good or valuable, bad or worthless, or neither. Most of the time these discriminations are incorrect or have little meaning. For example, our habitual way of categorizing people as friends, enemies, and strangers depending on how they make us feel is both incorrect and a great obstacle to developing impartial love for all living beings. Rather than holding so tightly to our discriminations of the external world, it would be much more beneficial if we learned to discriminate between valuable and worthless states of mind Picture Quote #1

There is no situation so bad that it cannot be accepted patiently, with an open, accommodating, and peaceful heart Picture Quote #1

When the turbulence of distracting thoughts subside and our mind becomes still, a deep happiness and contentment naturally arises from within Picture Quote #1

Many people are very intelligent in accomplishing worldly attainments. This intelligence is not wisdom because worldly attainments such as a high position, reputation, wealth and success in business are deceptive. If we die tomorrow they will disappear tomorrow, and nothing will be left for our future. Wisdom, however, will never deceive us Picture Quote #1

We need to keep a constant watch over our mind and learn to distinguish between the beneficial and harmful thoughts that are arising moment by moment. Those who are able to do this are truly wise Picture Quote #1

We need modern ideas, but we also need ancient wisdom. If we deny ancient wisdom we are making a big mistake Picture Quote #1

The moment we let go of our obsessive concern for our own welfare, our mind naturally relaxes and becomes lighter Picture Quote #1

The more we control our mind, the more our inner peace increases and the happier we become Picture Quote #1

Patience is a mind that is able to accept fully and happily, whatever occurs. It is much more than just gritting our teeth and putting up with things. Being patient means to welcome wholeheartedly whatever arises, having given up the idea that things should be other than what they are Picture Quote #1

If everyone practiced cherishing others, many of the major problems of the world would be solved in a few years Picture Quote #1

If we transform our ordinary mind into love and compassion we will naturally act in a positive way Picture Quote #1

Whenever we practise meditation, whether or not our meditation is clear, we are performing a virtuous mental action that is a cause of our future happiness and peace of mind Picture Quote #1

We are all interconnected in a web of kindness from which it is impossible to separate ourself Picture Quote #1

All objects whether pleasant, unpleasant or neutral, are mere appearances to the mind just like things experienced in a dream Picture Quote #1
