The Dalai Lama Says Don't Pray For

Often When We Think Of Exile We Think Of Destruction Or Loss. But The Dalai Lama Always Says Exile Is Reality, It's Something We Can Make Use Of, And He Has Used It To Get Rid Of Everything That He Thought Was Stifling And Old, And To Create A New, Improved And Much Healthier Tibet.

I Often Think We're Most Happy When We Forget The Time.

For More And More Of Us, Home Has Less To Do With A Piece Of Soil Than A Piece Of Soul.

I Remember Many Years Ago, I Asked [dalai Lama] About Exile And He Said: "well, Exile Is Good Because It's Brought Me And My People Closer To Reality," And Reality Is Almost A Shrine Before Which He Sits. Exile Brings Us Up Against The Wall And Forces Us To Rise To The Challenge Of The Moment.

A Holy Day, After All, Is A Day For Considering Everything You Otherwise Think Too Little About.
