Where Ignorance Is Our Master, There Is

I Always Emphasize That It Is Much Safer And Better To Keep One's Own Religious Faith. The Other Major Religions Are Thousands Of Years Old And Have Long Traditions.

It Seems That For Some People The Idea Of Compassion Entails A Complete Disregard For Or Even A Sacrifice Of Their Own Interests. This Is Not The Case. In Fact, You First Of All Have To Have A Wish To Be Happy Yourself - If You Don't Love Yourself Like That, How Can You Love Others?

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!

The Creatures That Inhabit This Earth-be They Human Beings Or Animals-are Here To Contribute, Each In Its Own Particular Way, To The Beauty And Prosperity Of The World.

It Is My Dream That The Entire Tibetan Plateau Should Become A Free Refuge Where Humanity And Nature Can Live In Peace And In Harmonious Balance. It Would Be A Place Where People From All Over The World Could Come To Seek The True Meaning Of Peace Within Themselves, Away From The Tensions And Pressures Of Much Of The Rest Of The World
