Under no circumstances should you lose hope.

What is the relationship between spirituality and ethical practice? Since love and compassion and similar qualities all, by definition, presume some level of concern for others' well-being, they presume ethical restraint. We cannot be loving and compassionate unless at the same time we curb our own harmful impulses and desires.

The most important benefit of patience consists in the way it acts as a powerful antidote to the affliction of anger.

Spiritually, yes, now many people knows Tibetans in spiritual field are very, very advanced but in material field is very, very backward.

I am increasingly convinced that the time has come to find a way of thinking about spirituality and ethics beyond religion altogether.

Although it is difficult to pinpoint the physical base or location of awareness, it is perhaps the most precious thing concealed within our brains. And it is something that the individual alone can feel and experience. Each of us cherishes it highly, yet it is private.

My hope and wish is that one day, formal education will pay attention to what I call 'education of the heart'.
