Try to improve. Don't expect too much, but don't feel discouraged either; keep up your enthusiasm; you will make progress.

I have been clear in my position for quite a while, but the Chinese have not responded. Therefore, we are now in the process of holding a referendum on our policy among all the Tibetan community in exile and even inside Tibet, to check whether the majority thinks we are on the right track.

Everyone wants a happy life without difficulties or suffering. We create many of the problems we face. No one intentionally creates problems, but we tend to be slaves to powerful emotions like anger, hatred and attachment that are based on misconceived projections about people and things. We need to find ways of reducing these emotions by eliminating the ignorance that underlies them and applying opposing forces.

An affectionate disposition not only makes the mind more peaceful and calm, but it affects our body in a positive way too.

Spend 5 minutes at the beginning of each day remembering we all want the same things (to be happy and be loved) and we are all connected to one another.

When you are warm-hearted, there is no room for anger, jealousy or insecurity.

The ultimate source of my mental happiness is my peace of mind. Nothing can destroy this except my own anger.
