I feel like my life is something purposeful. Many people have told me that after they listen to my talk, some point which I made, they got certain ideas and their whole life is changed. They are happier.

We need cooperation based on trust and self-confidence to create an open, compassionate, harmonious society.

My aim is to create a happy society with genuine friendship. Friendship between Tibetan and Chinese peoples is very essential.

If you serve others as fully as you can, what you do will be a source of inner joy.

If someone remains in a peaceful and tranquil state of mind, external surroundings can cause them only a limited disturbance.

Nowadays, we are confronted by a huge gap between rich and poor. This is not only morally wrong, but practically a mistake. It leads to the rich living in anxiety and the poor living in frustration, which has the potential to lead to more violence. We have to work to reduce this gap. It's truly unfair that some people should have so much while others go hungry.

Real change in society must start from individual initiative.
