unless the direction of science is guided by a consciously ethical motivation, especially compassion, its effects may fail to bring benefit. They may indeed cause great harm.

I think every human being, born from mother, and at least the next few years, you see, received immense affection from our mother. So the child's first experience in this lifetime at the beginning, I think that immense affection from other is in our blood. So therefore, the whole rest of life, other people show you smile, genuine sort of closeness feeling. You feel happy. Even animals also like that.

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

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.

Friends, genuine friends, have much more to do with whether we have a warm heart, not money or power.

There must be a way of promoting human values without involving religion, based on common sense, experience and recent scientific findings.

We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.
