We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.

• Generally speaking, if a human being never shows anger, then I think something's wrong. He's not right in the brain.
• 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.
• In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher.
• Sleep is the best meditation.
• The best way to resolve any problem in the human world is for all sides to sit down and talk.
• 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.
• Chinese people themselves, they really want change.
• Computers make me totally blank out.
• Sleep is the best meditation.
• I have always had this view about the modern education system: we pay attention to brain development, but the development of warmheartedness we take for granted.
