Anger cannot be overcome by anger. If someone is angry with you, and you show anger in return, the result is a disaster. On the other hand, if you control your anger and show its opposite - love, compassion, tolerance and patience - not only will you remain peaceful, but the other person's anger will also diminish.

As long as I am alive, I am fully committed to amity between Tibetans and Chinese. Otherwise there's no use.

The essence of any religion is good heart. Sometimes I call love and compassion a universal religion. This is my religion.

Spend some amount of time alone everyday.

I truly believe that compassion provides the basis of human survival.

When I look at birds and animals, their survival is without rules, without conditions, without organization. But mothers take good care of their offspring. That's nature. In human beings also, parents - particularly mothers - and children have a special bond. Mother's milk is a sign of this affection. We are created that way. The child's survival is entirely dependent on someone else's affection. So, basically, each individual's survival or future depends on society. We need these human values.

Artists have the responsibility to serve humanity give people hope.
