If some people have the belief or view that the Dalai Lama has some miracle power, that's totally nonsense. I am just one human being.

Maybe the Dalai Lama is the only person who is totally honest, and even with him, he's skillful not to hurt anybody. He's skillful.

I also saw the Dalai Lama a few times.

The Dalai Lama can claim the sanction of the Buddha, who is said to have altered his teachings in order to reach a diverse audience.

You don't have to be the Dalai Lama to tell people that life's about change.

As the spiritual leader of six million people, the Dalai Lama can be credited with a significant renunciation of the authority of tradition - of the conventional politics of national self-interest as well as of religion.

The Dalai Lama is just a temporal leader of Tibet.

I became the Dalai Lama not on a volunteer basis.

Performing for the Dalai Lama - those are words I never imagined coming out of my mouth.

In a secular age, an authentic miracle must purport to be a hoax, in order to gain credit in the world.
