For Citizens Who Think Themselves Puppets In

I Exult In The Fact I Can See Everywhere With A Flexible Eye; The Very Notion Of Home Is Foreign To Me, As The State Of Foreignness Is The Closest Thing I Know To Home.

[the Dalai Lama ] Says Western Traditions Can Teach Tibetans A Lot About Social Action, And He Thinks Some Christians Are Very Good At That.

Yet [dalai Lama] Has Said Very Strongly That Basic Freedoms Of Thought And Speech Have To Be Respected In Tibet And They're Not At The Moment. Tolerance Doesn't Mean Accepting What's Unfair.

In Our Appetite For Gossip, We Tend To Gobble Down Everything Before Us, Only To Find, Too Late, That It Is Our Ideals We Have Consumed, And We Have Not Been Enlarged By The Feasts But Only Diminished.

I Would Now Put All My Heart With The Tibetan People And The Tibetan Cause, But Not At The Expense Of The Chinese, And Not Say That Tibetans Are Good And Chinese Are Bad. And In My Own Life, I Hope I Would Learn To Be A Little Less Full Of Right And Wrongs, And A Little More Able To See Everything As A Potential Right.
