Dalai Lama Negative Quotations

My faith helps me overcome such negative emotions and find my equilibrium.

If you have a great deal of knowledge, but you're governed by negative emotions, then you tend to use your knowledge in negative ways. Therefore, while you are learning, don't forget the importance of warmheartedness.

Self-discipline, although difficult, and not always easy while combating negative emotions, should be a defensive measure.

Sometimes, whether a desire is excessive or negative depends on the circumstances or society in which you live in.

Self-discipline, although difficult, and not always easy while combating negative emotions, should be a defensive measure. At least we will be able to prevent the advent of negative conduct dominated by negative emotion. That is 'shila', or moral ethics. Once we develop this by familiarizing ourselves with it, along with mindfulness and conscientiousness, eventually that pattern and way of life will become a part of our own life.

Consider that not only do negative thoughts and emotions destroy our experience of peace, they also undermine our health.

Every human action, whether it has become positive or negative, must depend on motivation.
