We have a responsibility to look after our planet. It is our only home.

If you shift your focus from oneself to others, and think more about others' well-being and welfare, it has an immediate liberating effect.

Maybe, just maybe, I would like to become a real spiritual teacher, a working lama!

Only through the development of mutual respect, and in a spirit of truth, can friendship come about. By these means it is possible to move human minds, but never by force.

We must have a pure, honest, and warm-hearted motivation, and on top of that, determination, optimism, hope, and the ability not to be discouraged. The whole of humanity depends on this motivation.

We must conduct research and then accept the results. If they don't stand up to experimentation, Buddha`s own words must be rejected.

Under no circumstances should you lose hope.
