30. The
Dalai
Lama
• KEY FIGURES

31. Dalai Lama
• The Dalai Lama is a monk of the Gelug
or "Yellow Hat" school of Tibetan
BuddhismThe 14th and current Dalai
Lama is Tenzin Gyatso.
• The Dalai Lama is considered to be the
successor in a line of tulkus who are
believed to be incarnations of
Avalokiteśvara, the Bodhisattva of
Compassion. The name is a combination
of the Mongolic word dalai meaning
"ocean" and the Tibetan word (bla-ma)
meaning "guru, teacher, mentor". The
Tibetan word "lama" corresponds to the
better known Sanskrit word "guru“.

32. FAMOUS BUDDHIST

33. THOUGHTS OF KEY FIGURES
• Do not dwell in the
past, do not dream
of the future,
concentrate the
mind on the
present moment.
• Holding on to anger is
like grasping a hot coal
with the intent of throwing
it at someone else; you
are the one who gets
burned.

34. THOUGHTS OF KEY FIGURES:
DALAI LAMA
• The source of peace is
within us; so also the
source of war. And the
real enemy is within us,
and not outside. The
source of war is not the
existence of nuclear
weapons or other arms. It
is the minds of human
beings who decide to
push the button and to
use those arms out of
hatred, anger or greed.
• Compassion is not
religious business, it is
human business; it is not
luxury, it is essential for
our own peace and
mental stability; it is
essential for human
survival.
