I Am A Simple Buddhist Monk.

If We See Pride Among People Who Have No Idea About Dharma, It Is Understandable. However, If Afflictive Emotions And Haughtiness Are Present Among Dharma Practitioners, It Is Great Disgrace To Practice

I Always Tell People That Religious Institutions And Political Institutions Should Be Separate. So While I'm Telling People This, I Myself Continue With Them Combined. Hypocrisy!

I Must Have Dialogue With The Chinese Government, And Dialogue Requires Compromise. Therefore, I'm Speaking For Genuine Self-rule, Not For Independence.

A Mind That Is Characterized By Unrest Will Not Be Tranquil Even In The Presence Of Great Calm.

The Reality Today Is That We Are All Interdependent And Have To Co-exist On This Small Planet. Therefore, The Only Sensible And Intelligent Way Of Resolving Differences And Clashes Of Interests, Whether Between Individuals Or Nations, Is Through Dialogue.
