The various features and aspects of human life, such as longevity, good health, success, happiness, and so forth, which we consider desirable, are all dependent on kindness and a good heart.

Love and Compassion are the true religions to me. But to develop this, we do not need to believe in any religion.

We need to make material progress, but we need inner development too ... remember that the real development we seek is not in the buildings but in our hearts and minds.

My message is always the same: to cultivate and practice love, kindness, compassion and tolerance.

China can keep her troops on the external frontiers of Tibet, and Tibetans will pledge to accept the appropriate form of union with China.

Infinite altruism is the basis of peace and happiness. If you want altruism, you must control hate and you must practice patience. The main teachers of patience are our enemies.

We have always been a nation different from the Chinese. Long ago we fought wars with them.
