My Enemy Is My Greatest Teacher.

If Some People Have The Belief Or View That The Dalai Lama Has Some Miracle Power, That's Totally Nonsense.

I Would Like To Explain The Meaning Of Compassion, Which Is Often Misunderstood. Genuine Compassion Is Based Not On Our Own Projections And Expectations, But Rather On The Rights Of The Other: Irrespective Of Whether Another Person Is A Close Friend

If You Make Your Best Effort To Be Kinder, Nurture Compassion, Make The World A Better Place, Then You Can Say 'at Least I've Done My Best.

We Can Reject Everything Else: Religion, Ideology, All Received Wisdom. But We Cannot Escape The Necessity Of Love And Compassion. This, Then, Is My True Religion, My Simple Faith. In This Sense, There Is No Need For Temple Or Church, For Mosque Or Synagogue, No Need For Complicated Philosophy, Doctrine, Or Dogma. Our Own Heart, Our Own Mind, Is The Temple. The Doctrine Is Compassion. Love For Others And Respect For Their Rights And Dignity, No Matter Who Or What They Are: Ultimately These Are All We Need.

Friends, Genuine Friends, Are Attracted By A Warm Heart, Not Money, Not Power. A Genuine Friend Considers You As Just Another Human Being, As A Brother Or Sister, And Shows Affection On That Level, Regardless Of Whether You Are Rich Or Poor, Or In A High Position; That Is A Genuine Friend.
