I have always had this view about the modern education system: we pay attention to brain development, but the development of warmheartedness we take for granted.

By developing a sense of respect for others and a concern for their welfare, we reduce our own selfishness, which is the source of all problems, and enhance our sense of kindness, which is a natural source of goodness.

If you make your best effort to be kinder, nurture compassion, make the world a better place, then you can say 'At least I've done my best.

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

I believe that the very purpose of our life is to seek happiness. That is clear. Whether one believes in religion or not, whether one believes in this religion or that religion, we all are seeking something better in life. So, I think, the very motion of our life is towards happiness.

I believe that whether a person follows any religion or not is unimportant, he or she must have a good heart, a warm heart.

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