At a personal level, as a Buddhist practitioner, I deliberately visualize and think about death in my daily practice. Death is not separated from our lives. Due to my research and thoughts about death, I have some guarantee and some conviction that it will be a positive experience.

The wiser course is to think of others when pursuing our own happiness.

When you think everything is someone else's fault, you will suffer a lot.

We need a sense of the oneness of the 7 billion human beings alive today. When I meet people, I don't think about being different from them, about being Tibetan, Buddhist or even the Dalai Lama. I only think about being a human being. We all share the potential for positive and negative emotions, yet one of our special qualities is our human mind, our intelligence. If we use it well we'll be successful and happy.

The affection is mainly biological factor. Then further sort of strengthening, that religion helps.

Love and compassion ... are the ultimate source of human happiness, and the need for them lies at the very core of our being.

My responsibility is to save Tibet, to protect its ancient cultural heritage.
