A female Dalai Lama must be very attractive, otherwise not much use.

I describe myself as a simple Buddhist monk. No more, no less.

The ultimate source of happiness is not money and power, but warm-heartedness

The purpose of life is to increase the warm heart.

Nothing is permanent.

It is under the greatest adversity that there exists the greatest potential for doing good, both for oneself and others.

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.
