I appreciate any organization or individual people who sincerely make an effort to promote harmony between humanity, and particularly harmony between the various religions. I consider it very sacred work and very important work

Humans are not machines-we are something more. We have feeling and experience. Material comforts are not sufficient to satisfy us. We need something deeper-human affection.

Encountering sufferings will definitely contribute to the elevation of your spiritual practice, provided you are able to transform calamity and misfortune into the path.

Anything that contradicts experience and logic should be abandoned.

My responsibility is to save Tibet, to protect its ancient cultural heritage.

I think that ethical behaviour is another feature of the kind of inner discipline that leads to a happier existence.

Ethics: The indispensable interface between my desire to be happy and yours.
