Like The Moon On The Water, In

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

And It’s Only By Going Nowhere - By Sitting Still Or Letting My Mind Relax - That I Find That The Thoughts That Come To Me Unbidden Are Far Fresher And More Imaginative Than The Ones I Consciously Seek Out.

Movement Is Only As Good As The Sense Of Stillness That You Can Bring To It To Put It Into Perspective.

When One Questions [dalai Lama's] Political Actions, It Is Worth Remembering That He's The Single Most Experienced Politician On The Planet At This Moment.

Dalai Lama Was Leading His Country During The Rigors Of World War Ii, He Was In Beijing For A Year In 1954; He Was Up Against Mao Zedong And Zhou Enlai From The Time That He Was Fifteen. So He's No Newcomer Or Naive When It Comes To Politics.
