As Soon As I'm On The Road,

I'm One Of Those Perverse People Who Likes Being Alone. I Always Took Myself To Be A Community Of One. That's What I Am Comfortable With.

Quitting, For Me, Means Not Giving Up, But Moving On; Changing Direction Not Because Something Doesn’t Agree With You, But Because You Don’t Agree With Something. It’s Not A Complaint, In Other Words, But A Positive Choice, And Not A Stop In One’s Journey, But A Step In A Better Direction. Quitting-whether A Job Or A Habit-means Taking A Turn So As To Be Sure You’re Still Moving In The Direction Of Your Dreams.

He [the Dalai Lama] Has Made It His Mission To Say, "we Can't Afford To Squabble Over Minor Differences, We Have To Concentrate On What We Have In Common, Our Common Mission, Our Common Culture - And Indeed What We Have In Common With The Rest Of The World."

Unlike Many Spiritual Leaders, Dalai Lama Is Never Been In A Position To Just Sit On A Mountain Top Handing Out Wisdom. He's Had To Live Out His Principles In The Middle Of This Very Complex Situation, Every Day For Sixty Years Or More. I Think It's Something That Moves Many People About His Example.

I Would Now Put All My Heart With The Tibetan People And The Tibetan Cause, But Not At The Expense Of The Chinese, And Not Say That Tibetans Are Good And Chinese Are Bad. And In My Own Life, I Hope I Would Learn To Be A Little Less Full Of Right And Wrongs, And A Little More Able To See Everything As A Potential Right.
