The Chinese Government Wants Me To Say That For Many Centuries Tibet Has Been Part Of China. Even If I Make That Statement, Many People Would Just Laugh. And My Statement Will Not Change Past History. History Is History.

I Believe That To Meet The Challenge Of Our Times, Human Beings Will Have To Develop A Greater Sense Of Universal Responsibility. We Must All Learn To Work Not Just For Our Own Self, Family, Or Nation But For The Benefit Of All Humankind. Universal Responsibility Is The Key To Human Survival. It Is The Best Foundation For World Peace, The Equitable Use Of Natural Resources, And Through Concern For Future Generations, The Proper Care Of The Environment.

The More Adept We Become At Cultivating An Altruistic Attitude, The Happier We Will Feel And The More Comfortable Will Be The Atmosphere Around Us. But If Our Emotions Fluctuate Wildly And We Easily Give In To Hatred And Jealousy, Even Our Friends Will Avoid Us. So Even For People With No Spiritual Beliefs, It Is Important To Have A Peaceful Mind.

True Spirituality Is A Mental Attitude You Can Practice At Any Time.
