Dalai Lama Quotes | Healthy Life

As this great human being turns 80 this month (July), a three-day jubilee commemorating the Dalai Lama’s 80th birthday kicks off Sunday with the Nobel Peace Prize winner lecturing on creativity and compassion before a sold-out crowd at Anaheim’s Honda Center. Here at www.werindia.com we have Dalai Lama’s best quotes on the occasion of his birthday.

My main practice is to dedicate my body, speech and mind to the welfare of others. I hope to be able to continue to do this for some time yet. My favorite prayer is: “For as long as space endures, And for as long as living beings remain, Until then may I too abide, To dispel the misery of the world.” : Dalai Lama
