Dalai Lama's guide to happiness

- The beautiful song/soundtrack to this video is Himalaya by Tenzin Choegyal. His website is www.tenzinchoegyal.com
This video looks at 'Buddhism and Happiness', as we ask are they a match made in heaven or something else? This eight minute epic reveals some incredible insights into human behaviour and values that impact our happiness, particularly in this materialistic Western life so many are living, or reaching for.
The Dalai Lama's talk is from his 'the quest for happiness' public talk in Adelaide during his 'Beyond Religion' tour in Australia.
While we would have ideally used footage of Tibetan monks in this video, we were unable to and instead used footage from our recent trip to Burma, where we acknowledge there may be subtle differences in how Buddhism is practiced. We do not mean to offend anyone by this and if you would like to fly us to Tibet to re-film this we'll happily take up the offer.
PLUS... Find us on Facebook to see more than 20,000 smiles!!!
The song in the background is Himalaya by Tenzin Choegyal.
What is the music which plays at the start, what song is that which plays along with a million smiles logo
Thank you

One of the greatest human beings alive in the world today. But then he would just say he is nothing special. And that is what makes him such an unbelievable human being.
he would simply say you are the same as he is
Craig Hicks because its true, we are all the same just pure consciousness.
Yep
He's a traitor to humanity.
he's better only cause he practiced more than most people. Practice really does make perfect
Dalai Lama is a cool dude and Buddhism is more than a religion. Buddhism is the philosophy, art, science and categorical teaching of how to develop virtuous, positive, beneficial states of mind.
+Jay Talb I'm not religious myself, but a lot of who I am aligns naturally with Buddhism.
Your hate is received with empathy and compassion. I am sorry you feel that way. Many do not feel as you do. Do you feel that if he were suffering but saying the same things that the things that he says would be more valid? Do you think that because he is transported all over the world to spread his message that he is somehow wealthy?
+Jonathen Cooper nicely said..100% agree
***** u r joke
***** no joke.. blah blah blah
I am not a Buddhist but how can you ever hate this man?
Ill tell you the man like him also gets sold
Chinese Government don't hate this man. don't even think any Government is bad or good. there is only thing is different political standpoint. when government talk about him is only about political not about his religion his personality. like American Government had hold many war in middle East, Vietnam. killed so many people.but in American people's mind is fight for freedom and justice.
dosen't hate this man *
V's Demons That is very easy, considering who he really is, and what he really stands for.
V's Demons just shurrup....
Its crazy how every word he says has so much meaning. He speaks in a very simple way without any excess words, but everything he says is true value
I have heard what he said from others but when he says it, it genuinely touches and make you feel. And I think, this is probably because he has internalized these values. He walks the talk and feels every word he says. He doesn't say things he don't practice. and no wonder every word that comes from his mouth brings along with it a sense of warmth and hope and of course alot of smiles
Simple-minded platitudes for simple-minded 'people'.
I still wonder why China's never return his call bringing him back, until that happens Tyranny is there.

"Remember that sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck." - Dalai Lama
The Contemplative Mirror one of the best quote ever
So true
When you find yourself covered in black shadows of unfixed desires. We here can fix it. The spirit of INDIA. The power of yoga.
Unleash the truth now

@@divinepeace8437 yoga is a very demonic practice that means to yoke with something. Yoga is actually doorways or portals inviting demonic entities in2 yr body to live inside of your person. Your body should be the temple of the HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD.
Carol Bassant huh? Lol
I`m lost as to what religion I should follow but when I listen to the Dalai Lama I feel peace
This is my man true to the earth and people
Jerry Sparks me too. lost as to what religion I should follow and I agree, Dalai Lama bring peace
Jerry Sparks to be a Buddhist, it's not necessary you go through a ritual to convert. just follow the path to peace compassion and every step you take think about others whether it does harm or not. I am myself an athiest but I follow the path and life of a Buddhist cause it's all about love peace and compassion. and that is my religion humanity.
You need no religion to be happy
Jerry Sparks you can follow any religion.just show ur kindness forgiveness and compassion...
I truly feel bad for the 6 people who have disliked this video. May you find happiness one day :)
Same here, Graeme.
What an awesome human being
Anthony Howard Are you black? Do you know he is a slave owner? ua-cam.com/video/QJY1eK9jQ28/v-deo.html
@@llliz622 Are you Chinese 😁😁😁. Fucking idiot. He's a human being period.
what abt now
@@Clorkies lol did you have your cock in-hand ready to scour comment sections of Dalai videos? I bet you searched directly for the video and blew a load to it...didn't you? is that the answer you're looking for?
@@Clorkies .....well?????
I love his description of happiness being more like a sense of satisfaction. You could be very lucky and have a lot to be happy about, but many of us don’t realize it. It’s so easy to focus on our problems and exaggerate them, and then forget about how great the small things around us are.
this man's energy is very positive ,vibrant and soothing.
The coolest man on the planet! Tenzin Gyatso
I agree, Ian.
the beauty of Buddhism is its not a ''religion'' but a life style and philosophy.. it opens part of the mind a book can't.
I am part of two religions, Christian and Buddhism
same
Looks like Master Yoda talking about the balance in the force. Loved it.
Thank you Dalai Lama.

He makes my life so easy ,must follow his instructions,🙏
Everytime I see the Dalai Lama I smile 😁😁😁 He makes me happy. He is just like Yoda. Wise, smart, funny, makes you smile.
Ummmm ok
What an amazing soul. His laugh is contagious!
In a previous life long ago I lived as a Tibetan Monk. All of which I didn't learn until age 40. I am now 70 years of age. The habits of a Tibetan Monk have materialized in my life and in my middle age I discovered that Life is about being Happy not pursuing frivolous goals.
My name was Tang Chi Lin, and I was born in Obiang, China. I died by falling off a mountain, a very high mountain.
Thank you and many blessings!
Great human being Respect Dalai Lama ji .Tibet Bhumi Amar Rahe.
I was in the presence of the Dalai Lama in 1993. I have been Practicing Buddhism for 30 years now
From INDIA:-) I love budhhism great human being Dalai Lama
Thankyou so much🙏🙏🙏🙏.
bruh moment
He just looks at himself as one of the 7 billion people on earth. This makes us all the same. Very humbling
One of the great video
This really put a smile on my face after a bad day..i hope you are all well and I genuinely wish you a happy life!
Glad to say he is my leader, love live his holiness! 🙏🏼
Namaskaram Dalai Lama your words have life in it
Sadhu sadhu sadhu. Long live His Holiness.🙏🙏🙏
Dalai Lama supports Europe for Europeans and supports deportation of non Europeans and believes that Europe should not become owned by Arabs and blacks and that refugees should return to their homelands to help rebuild and fix them... I like this guy, if my country was under fire no matter what I would stay and fight and if I survive I would help rebuild not run away and leave my loved ones behind, that's the only way there is eventually peace.
Thank you Sir
background music is heartmelting 😀
I never thought his Holiness would instruct me on surreptitious farting. Truly a man of the people :D
Wow..his words are full of love 😊 I feel new
I try we take 2 step forward one step back jus keep going. Namaste love and light. Enjoy life !
Thank you to the country where Buddhism was born and is now preserved. (India) :)
So much wisdom 🙏 thank you dalai lama ♥️
Very beautiful teaching, thank you!!
All bliss,we are seeking in mountain,is embedded within our mind,if we examine properly...we all are brothers
Love u Dalai lama ... We all should fight for freedom Tibet
I really liked the video. I also really love His Holiness the Dalai Lama. 🙏
I've also been really watching quite a fair bit of Sri Avinash myself recently with my spiritual path. #SriAvinashMeditation 🙏🙌
I feel as though my life has changed so much just from hearing his talks.
Great video until the Australian guy at the end begging for likes and subscriptions.. way to blow the mood.
+arcooke Much to learn you have, if this already tips the balance of your mind. But keep going, failure is just another name for experience.
He is guilty of desire and ego haha
Typical Australian lol
I do apoligise for having to speak at the end I know it ruins the mood, but if it helps to spread our message of happiness with the world then that is what we must do... You may like to learn more about what that Aussie guy is doing here kck.st/2aRyY9S and perhaps you'll understand more about what we're doing :) Mike (the creator of this video and a million smiles)
Leanne Metekingi Typical Australian? That is the type of negativity that he speaks about... it is not ok to judge someone on their culture or where they are from... I am Australian but I would not judge you based on your culture...
My dude the lama.man is the greatest!!
THANK YOU MY DEAR FRIEND..
Hi. I am looking to find a book that teaches and educates me about Buddhism and all it's ideals. I wish to learn about being a Buddhist with the intention of being a Buddhist. Can someone be so kind as to point me out the name of a book (and even more kind to provide the author as well) to me. Please thumbs this up so it stays in view to increase my chances of finding a book. Thank you.
read Sam Harris's The Waking Up (you can find the first chapter on youtube ) , watch videos of "yuttadammo" on youtube
Ashika Umanga Umagiliya Thank you very much =)
***** Thank you very much for your recommendations. I have written them down and will download them onto my Kobo tonight. I want to steer clear of any authors who are even inclined to violence preaching, so thank you very much for advising me on this. I got my Kobo back from repair today so maybe these books are meant to be read :)
***** Thank you =)

Dali Lama Poem
The Dali Lama for a million Smiles,
Talked about farting on a plane, Piles
Of people, thrown into Paroxysm of laughter,
Being a man of the people, he helped us infer,
His holiness, a Nobel Laureate, has gas like you or I,
In an Airplane, overcome by indigestion, he would sigh,
Driven by his urgent need to pass Wind,
He realized his humanity and that he hadn’t sinned.
Most important in his eyes are one’s fellow man,
Or woman, seeing the divinity within is all we can
Do to realize that creating heaven on earth,
Is within our capacity if we recognize the worth
Of young or old and realize no matter what our name,
“We are mentally, emotionally, intellectually all the same.”

Every time I think of Buddhism, I think of it's potential influence all over the world... hypothetically, what if the world adopted the ways of Buddhism? The world would be so compassionate, caring, loving, and charitable for others and the world's resources. No conflict, just peace of mind, friendliness from all strangers and pure bliss
Respect....
Love him so much....
Thank you 🙏 god bless you 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍
Life was never meant to be complicated - somehow over the course of human existence, it became FUBAR. If only we all possibly could accept humanity as the only religion, and live as one - how calm and serene would everyday be. Pretty sure any positive change that this world will ever see will not come from religion, but from enlightenment that religion is the only evil that needs to be ousted. Dalai is the very epitome of this simplicity and real existence - he never promotes religion. He just is so cool - much respect!!
🙏🙏🙏
Long live HH Dalai lama
no need to fear- be strong for us- we know for real, heart, mind and spirit!
you must be heaven sent...to bring such joy to one and all
to help someone believe
I like his sense of humour
Trust brings happiness and peace of mind
Happiness is when you realize it does not depend on anything but you
Had to pause :40 in🎻 then realize that's who sings the whole video 😕😂 thank you 🙏
Om Ah Hu 💐Chaktsal 🙏
Dalai Lama’s Guide to Happiness (Transcript)
(0:22) His Holiness: “We all have the potential.”
(0:47) His Holiness: “Dear brothers and sisters, indeed I am very happy.”
(0:56) Interviewer: “But what does happiness mean to a Buddhist such as the Dalai Lama?”
(1:02) His Holiness: “I usually describe happiness in the sense of more satisfaction, happiness is not necessarily some pleasurable experience, but neutral sort of experience, that can bring deep satisfaction.”
(1:28) Interviewer: “In your experience, what makes you truly happy?"
(1:32) His Holiness: “I believe…peace of mind. That peace of mind also come firstly from warm-heartedness, that I think reduce ill feeling towards others, and also reduce distrust. I always open. I never consider myself as something special. If I consider myself as something different from you, like I am Buddhist. Or even more, I am His Holiness the Dalai Lama, or even if I consider I am Nobel Laureate, then actually you create yourself as a prisoner. I forget these things, I simply consider I am one of the seven billion human beings. We are mentally, emotionally, intellectually we are same."
(2:50) Interviewer: “A point he rather inadvertently proved through an unexpected story about gas.”
(2:56) His Holiness: “When in airplane, sometimes this gas problem comes, then you see it is difficult to let out, so occasionally you see, look around, then you go like that.” (Leans over to imitate farting)
(3:24) His Holiness: “The ultimate source of satisfaction [is] within ourself. If you do wrong things, mainly harming other, you get negative consequences. If you do helping other, you bring more happiness to other, you get benefit. More inner strength there, and more sort of confidence of purpose of life and fulfillment about that purpose, then you always feel happy.”
(4:00) His Holiness: “When we are young, very much alive, these inner value, and we’re growing up, particularly in this society where not much talking about these values. Only talks when we read the newspaper or television, sports or money, number of dollar…like that. And all of the advertising, material values, no one telling, no one sort of explaining the importance of warm-heartedness."
(4:42) Interviewer: “Despite this, he says there’s a lot to be happy about if we only look in the right places."
(4:50) His Holiness: “Early part of twentieth century, later part of twentieth century, much positive change took place. I think world, yes there is a lot of crisis, a lot of bad things, but also there is a lot of good things."
(5:05) Interviewer: “And yet, we have been told to fear anyone and everyone. A reality he says that is impacting one of the fundamentals of human happiness.”
(5:17) His Holiness: “So, we are social animal, therefore, friendship is very essential. Friendship comes trust. Fear and trust - go contradiction. More fear there, cannot develop trust. With fear, how can we develop friendship?”
(5:42) Interviewer: “It’s little wonder then that loneliness has become the number one cause of depression in the west.”
(5:52) His Holiness: “In a big city, a lot of people, but just think of oneself, self-centered attitude, and no idea of sense of love. Then, and then, too much competitive sense, then jealousy. Jealousy brings distrust, distrust brings frustration, so therefore and then fear. Then the lonely feeling automatically come. So lonely feeling is not creation of environment, but creation of your own mental attitude."
(6:38) Interviewer: “But the thought leader says there is hope if only we could seek a slightly different goal.”
(6:47) His Holiness: “I think eventually we can develop a more deeper...experience about our life. Make some kind of pledge. ‘From now on I must make a new person. Same body, but new person."
(7:10) Interviewer 2: “Your Holiness, I have to thank you so much. I have learned much from meeting you today. I have learned, for instance, that we’re all on the same road...”
(7:23) His Holiness: “Yes.”
(7:23) Interviewer 2: “…with the ultimate goal..”
(7:24) His Holiness: “Yes.”
(7:24) Interviewer 2: “...but we’re all different travelers...”
(7:27) His Holiness: “And also same experience of gas.”
(Laughter erupts)
(7:37) Interviewer 2: “I don’t think I’ll ever forget this day.”
(Laughter continues.)
The part I have issue with is focusing so much on just your own happiness is counter productive to warm hearts and compassion toward others. It makes a person narcissistic and puts their needs above others. I'm not a buddist because I believe in YHWH and Christ, who taught to love your enemies and do unto them as you'd have them do to you. If you focus more on helping others you forget how little your problems are. That gives you inner peace.
This is the only religion leader I could comfortably have dinner with
Just saw it in the credits! Tenzin Choegyal :)
You can't be one of the wisest men to ever live and pass up on the opportunity on a fart joke in front of a live audience. Wisdom paired with a sense of humor creates a character that draws everybody in.
HAPPINESS is a white feather landing at my feet when no birds are flying over head!
Long live Dalai Lama
Ik vind het altijd weer een feestje als die zakkenwasser weer op huis aan gaat!
long time ago, I very respect buddhist, I intrested in buddish'm, even l'm not buddhist, but after something happened in myanmar, all the political monks slaughtered of rohingya muslim. l can't feel it anymore, but l thinl again. there's nothing wrong with buddha, but with the people who think they is buddha.. like ISIS in islam, its not islam, its people who think they islam, and make a bad reputation of them.. now l still discovered buddhist again..
Loved it 🏄♂️🐛🎨
Warm heartedness ❤🎉

stay happy people
True #happiness 😍
sweet
Did.. he just make a fart joke? I love this guy.
He is a very wise man. I was born a catholic & up to now I am, but I like the Adlai lama better than the pope
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🌹🌹🌹
Your guide to happiness is being true to you. Using your 5 senses. It’s called deism. I can never be apart of a religion that chose me by the time I was born. There are so many religions. Your questions will all be answered if your aware
All world's religion respect of dalai lamaji
We are humans we should love each other not religion
I am a indian Buddhist
If I don't get a spiritual direction I may join a Buddhist temple
I am 1 & hes right!
Peace:)
💕 Love
the dalie is the lamaist of the seasonal greet and host nevertheless he can withdo a jumble of wordo'stics.
When he was talking about fear, I swear I expected him to say fear... leads to the dark side. Just close your eyes - he sounds like Yoda.
I was thinking exactly the same
A Tibetan student of mine recently mentioned that he had lost his wallet. Knowing that he has a very small income, the rest of the class expressed sympathy and some even offered help. The student said: "It is no problem, I have everything I need - and the finding of the wallet will make some other person on this planet very happy, and that is good for everyone." These people are my favourite students - I learn at least as much from them as they do from me.
Cute story, but if I found the wallet, I would NOT be happy. I would be upset that someone lost a wallet.
Zvi Benari If you were poor and had six hungry kids to feed, your take on it would maybe be different. Or you could put the money to good use in some other way to ease your conscience. Anyway, I will pray that you will never find a wallet and be spared from the upset.
+MegaSmk you r of course correct
The assumption was that the finder would be happy. So I merely meant to point out that the finder may perhaps notbe happy. peace and justice
I'm sorry, I had a hard day, a lot is going on and I am not centered. Sarcasm was not called for. Peace to you too.
No need to apologize. It is clear from your 1st post that you a good caring person. Don't forget "justice :-)
Isn't it ironic how China's attempt at exterminating Tibetan culture has allowed the Dalai Lama to spread Tibetan culture across the whole world.
+Kamran Kamal If you go to Tibet, you will see Tibetan culture is still there. Chinese government let him go because he was trying to separate Tibet from China.
+Kamran Kamal lmao if he's truly a living sage he would go back to tibet and face the prosecutions and death fearlessly of the Chinese gov like Jesus instead of fleeing for his dear life (oh and did I mention he's real wealthy and living a great life?) He's just like any selfish and tyrannical world leaders with political agenda in his mind. What you see is a hypocrite
MasterofPlay7 Did I say he was a living sage? I don't believe in Jesus since he's not recorded in any historical book other than the Bible and we all know that this was written to control people.
What has he done that is tyrannical or selfish, please explain.
Kamran Kamal well he left millions suffered while he flee for his dear life, if he's truly care and love humanity by practicing kindfulness he would not have let them suffered, he would instead suffer himself. He's just a phony
Kamran Kamal i don't know people love to hear him bullshiting (maybe he's holy phony?) I would rather read Dogen, Foucault or Heidegger for entertainment and enlightenment
