It Is A Question Of Our Own

It Is Very Important To Generate A Good Attitude, A Good Heart, As Much As Possible. From This, Happiness In Both The Short Term And The Long Term For Both Yourself And Others Will Come.

If You Shift Your Focus From Yourself To Others, Extend Your Concern To Others, And Cultivate The Thought Of Caring For The Well Being Of Others, Then This Will Have The Immediate Effect Of Opening Up Your Life And Helping You To Reach Out.

Whether It Is Under The Guise Of Survival And Self-defence Or Directly Expressed Through Dominion And Greed, The Failure To Recognize The Common Humanity Shared By Us All Lies At The Heart Of Our Difficulties. To Overcome It, We Should Begin To Develop, From The Level Of The Individual Through That Of Society To The World At Large, What I Call A Sense Of Universal Responsibility; A Deep Respect For Every Living Being Who Lives On This One Small Planet And Calls It Home.

If You Become More Concerned For The Welfare Of Others, You Will Experience A Sense Of Calm, Inner-strength, And Self Confidence.

In Twenty Years' Time I'll Be Eighty-three, Just An Old Man With A Stick Moving Like A Sloth Bear. While I'm Alive, I Am Fully Committed To Autonomy, And I Am The Person Who Can Persuade The Tibetan People To Accept It.
