Spiritually, yes, now many people knows Tibetans in spiritual field are very, very advanced but in material field is very, very backward.
Dalai LamaIf each of us can learn to relate to each other more out of compassion, with a sense of connection to each other and a deep recognition of our common humanity, and more important, to teach this to our children, I believe that this can go a long way in reducing many of the conflicts and problems that we see today.
Dalai LamaThen another thing, now this is mainly for our interest about Tibet, our struggle. Whole struggle depend on within person. For dangerous. Foolish! Not for this only institution or even not only for Buddhist dogma, but before national sort of right, our right. So therefore this struggle must carried by people themselves.
Dalai LamaLove and compassion benefit both ourselves and others. Through kindness to others, your heart and mind will be peaceful and open.
Dalai Lama
