Dalai Lama Quotes

Dalai Lama

As adults we read, learn, understand and nurture our soul way too late in life, perhaps when the damage is already done. These are few handpicked quotes that I found very helpful, and easy to follow. These can be easily understood by teenagers as well, so why not start the 'real life' education early. Why repeat the same mistakes when sometime simple quotes can go a long way in providing the necessary guidance in leading a happy and meaningful life. These are my favorite Dalai Lama quotes.
