Through meditative techniques, one can free the mind of delusions and attain what we call enlightenment.

I am open to the guidance of synchronicity, and do not let expectations hinder my path.

I have always had this view about the modern education system: we pay attention to brain development, but the development of warmheartedness we take for granted.

Many problems that confront us today are created by man, whether they are violent conflicts, destruction of the environment, poverty or hunger. These problems can be resolved thanks to human efforts by understanding that we are brother and sister and by developing this sense of closeness. We must cultivate a universal responsibility toward each other and extend it to the planet that we have to share.

It is a wonderful thing if one can use one's place of work as a place of spiritual practice as well.

We must have a pure, honest, and warm-hearted motivation, and on top of that, determination, optimism, hope, and the ability not to be discouraged. The whole of humanity depends on this motivation.

I never dreamt, in my dream, I'm Dalai Lama.
