My responsibility is to save Tibet, to protect its ancient cultural heritage.

I am convinced that everyone can develop a good heart and a sense of universal responsibility with or without religion.

Don't let a little dispute injure a great relationship.

Brute force, no matter how strongly applied, can never subdue the basic human desire for freedom.

I think really, China, Chinese, I think they really have a long history of civilization, rich culture.

All I can do is engage with complete sincerity. Then whatever happens, there is no regret.

Nowadays, we are confronted by a huge gap between rich and poor. This is not only morally wrong, but practically a mistake. It leads to the rich living in anxiety and the poor living in frustration, which has the potential to lead to more violence. We have to work to reduce this gap. It's truly unfair that some people should have so much while others go hungry.
