The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being.

As long as I am alive, I am fully committed to amity between Tibetans and Chinese. Otherwise there's no use.

The true hero is one who conquers his own anger and hatred.

From a Buddhist point of view, the actual experience of death is very important. Although how or where we will be reborn is generally dependent on karmic forces, our state of mind at the time of death can influence the quality of our next rebirth. So at the moment of death, in spite of the great variety of karmas we have accumulated, if we make a special effort to generate a virtuous state of mind, we may strengthen and activate a virtuous karma, and so bring about a happy rebirth.

Each of us has the potential to contribute... You have a great opportunity to make a new shape of the world.

Our prime purpose in life is to serve others.

Appearance is something absolute, but reality is not that way - everything is interdependent, not absolute.
