When we hear a story of the abuse of a child or the abuse of women almost all people are appalled by instances of that kind.

One of the things that people sense is that you are not doing this for self-glorification, you are doing it for the sake of others. The Dalai Lama has been in exile for so many years, yet the Chinese are running scared of him.

Men and boys, we show our manhood through the way we treat our women. Our wives, our sisters, our mothers.

We can only be human together.

Forgiving is good for your health.
