We don't need to respond with desperate violence.

Being concerned about other people is especially relevant in today's world. If we consider the complex inter-connected ness of our modern lives, how we depend on others and others depend on us, our outlook will change. We’ll begin to see 'others' not as somehow distant from us, but as people we are in touch with, people close to us; we will no longer feel indifferent to them.

If some people have the belief or view that the Dalai Lama has some miracle power, that's totally nonsense.

We need a little more compassion, and if we cannot have it, then no politician or even a magician can save the planet.

Altruism is the best source of happiness. There is no doubt about that.

Since periods of great change, such as the present one, come so rarely in human history, it is up to each of us to make the best use of our time to help create a happier world.

Passion is what gives sense to our life.
