Leader

The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness.

I totally disagree with the view that the Tibet struggle will die, and there will be no hope for Tibet, after the Dalai Lama passes away.

Some mischievous people always there. Last several thousand years, always there. In future, also.

We all have to live together, so we might as well live together happily.

Computers make me totally blank out.

Because of lack of moral principle, human life becomes worthless. Moral principle, truthfulness, is a key factor. If we lose that, then there is no future.

The best way to resolve any problem in the human world is for all sides to sit down and talk.

I have done one thing that I think is a contribution: I helped Buddhist science and modern science combine. No other Buddhist has done that. Other lamas, I don't think they ever pay attention to modern science. Since my childhood, I have a keen interest.

I am confident I will set foot again in Tibet in my lifetime.

Of course, when I say that human nature is gentleness, it is not 100 percent so. Every human being has that nature, but there are many people acting against their nature, being false.

Sleep is the best meditation.

More compassionate mind, more sense of concern for other's well-being, is source of happiness.

Today, more than ever before, life must be characterized by a sense of Universal responsibility, not only nation to nation and human to human, but also human to other forms of life.

I always believe the rule by king or official leader is outdated. Now we must catch up with the modern world.

In order to become prosperous, a person must initially work very hard, so he or she has to sacrifice a lot of leisure time.

Today different ethnic groups and different nations come together due to common sense.

The Chinese government wants me to say that for many centuries Tibet has been part of China. Even if I make that statement, many people would just laugh. And my statement will not change past history. History is history.

I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe.

We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.

Generally speaking, if a human being never shows anger, then I think something's wrong. He's not right in the brain.
