My aim is to create a happy society with genuine friendship. Friendship between Tibetan and Chinese peoples is very essential.

Education is the proper way to promote compassion and tolerance in society.

Through awareness, you get a certain attitude. That's the way, you see, to achieve more peaceful, more compassion, more friendship through that way.
