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

We must generate courage equal to the size of the difficulties we face.

I only escaped from Tibet because I feared my people would resort to desperate violence if the Chinese took me as their prisoner.

Other human beings have a right to peace and happiness that is equal to our own; therefore we have a responsibility to help those in need.

I am just one human being.

If you have only education and knowledge and a lack of the other side, then you may not be a happy person, but a person of mental unrest, of frustration. Not only that, but if you combine these two, your whole life will be a constructive and happy life. And certainly you can make immense benefit for society and the betterment of humanity. That is one of my fundamental beliefs: that a good heart, a warm heart, a compassionate heart, is still teachable.

Every man has the basis of good. Not only human beings, you can find it among animals and insects, for instance, when we treat a dog or horse lovingly.
