As Our Own Peace Of Mind Grows,

Self-rule Means That China Must Stop Its Intensive Effort To Colonize Tibet With Chinese Settlers And Must Allow Tibetans To Hold Responsible Positions In The Government Of Tibet.

If I Had Not Been A Monk, I Would Have Become An Engineer.

I Have Found That The Greatest Degree Of Inner Peace Comes From Cultivating Love And Compassion.

Religion Is Like Going Out To Dinner With Friends. Everyone May Order Something Different, But Everyone Can Still Sit At The Same Table.

I Call The Light And High Aspects Of My Being Spirit And The Dark And Heavy Aspects Soul. Soul Is At Home In The Deep, Shaded Valleys. Heavy Torpid Flowers Saturated With Black Grow There. The Rivers Flow Like Warm Syrup. They Empty Into Huge Oceans Of Soul. Spirit Is A Land Of High White Peaks And Glittering Jewel-like Lakes And Flowers. Life Is Sparse And Sounds Travel Great Distances. There Is Soul Music, Soul Food, And Soul Love... People Need To Climb The Mountain Not Simple Because It Is There But Because The Soulful Divinity Needs To Be Mated With The Spirit.
