Dalai lama and Positive Ego

Dalai lama  is an advocate of  Positive Ego !!!

Check out these Dalai lama quotes :

"Freedom Must for Human Creativity"

"If you have a particular faith or religion, that is good. But you can survive without it."


“Without freedom, one’s creativity cannot bloom. Right to freedom is pivotal for the progress of any society. And for this, there should be a sense of global responsibility, a feeling of oneness for all beings.”

"Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible."

"Sleep is the best meditation."

"There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies. My brain and my heart are my temples; my philosophy is kindness"
 

"With realization of one's own potential and self-confidence in one's ability, one can build a better world."

 These sentiments very strongly validate our philosophy at PEGO MAG !!!

Who is a Dalai Lama ? What is the tradition ? Some notes by wikipedia :


The current Dalai Lama is sometimes called "His Holiness" (HH) by Westerners (by analogy with the Pope), although this does not translate to a Tibetan title.

"Dalai" (Далай) means "Ocean" in Mongolian, and is a translation of the Tibetan name རྒྱ་མཚོ་ "Gyatso," while "Lama" is the Tibetan equivalent of the Sanskrit word "guru." Putting the terms together, the full title is "Ocean Teacher" meaning a teacher who is spiritually as great as the ocean. The name is often mistranslated as "Ocean of Wisdom."

The Dalai Lama  is a lineage of religious officials of the Gelug sect of Tibetan Buddhism. The name is a combination of the Mongolian word  "Dalai" meaning "Ocean" and the Tibetan word "Blama" (with a silent b) meaning "chief" or "high priest." "Lama" is a general term referring to Tibetan Buddhist teachers. In religious terms, the Dalai Lama is believed by his devotees to be the rebirth of a long line of tulkus who descend from the bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara.

Traditionally, His Holiness is thought of as the latest reincarnation of a series of spiritual leaders who have chosen to be reborn in order to enlighten others. The Dalai Lama is often thought to be the director of the Gelug School, but this position belongs officially to the Ganden Tripa, which is a temporary position appointed by the Dalai Lama who, in practice, exerts much influence.

Between the 17th century and 1959, the Dalai Lamas were the directors of the Tibetan Government, administering a large portion of the area from the capital Lhasa, although the extent of that lineage's historical authority, legitimacy and claim to territory has been recently contested for political reasons. Since 1959, the Dalai Lama has been president of the Tibetan government-in-exile, or Central Tibetan Administration .
