Number of people have said to me, after hearing your thinking, their mind becomes much more happier.
From Dalai Lama
Some mischievous people always there. Last several thousand years, always there. In future, also.
Appearance is something absolute, but reality is not that way - everything is interdependent, not absolute.
I became the Dalai Lama not on a volunteer basis.
Death means change our clothes. Clothes become old, then time to come change. So this body become old, and then time come, take young body.
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.
I am sometimes sad when I hear the personal stories of Tibetan refugees who have been tortured or beaten. Some irritation, some anger comes. But it never lasts long. I always try to think at a deeper level, to find ways to console.
The Dalai Lama is just a temporal leader of Tibet.
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!
My main concern is meeting with public because my main commitment, main interest is promotion of human value, human affection, compassion and religious harmony.
