Forget The Failures. Keep The Lessons.

It Is My Fundamental Conviction That Compassion - The Natural Capacity Of The Human Heart To Feel Concern For And Connection With Another Human Being - Constitutes A Basic Aspect Of Our Nature Shared By All Human Beings, As Well As Being The Foundation Of Our Happiness. All Ethical Teachings, Whether Religious Or Nonreligious, Aim To Nurture This Innate And Precious Quality, To Develop It And To Perfect It.

I Only Escaped From Tibet Because I Feared My People Would Resort To Desperate Violence If The Chinese Took Me As Their Prisoner.

Conversion Is Not My Intention. Changing Religion Is Not Easy. You May Develop Some Kind Of Confusion Or Difficulties.

If You Serve Others As Fully As You Can, What You Do Will Be A Source Of Inner Joy.

A Calm Mind Helps Our Human Intelligence To Assess The Situation Realistically.
