“The fundamental policy of China on the question of Dalai Lama is that we demand that the Dalai Lama must acknowledge that Tibet and Taiwan are part of China and seriously and sincerely abandon his pursuit of 'Tibet independence' and then we can discuss about his personal future.”
Liu Jianchao
“This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.”
Dalai Lama
“Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.”
“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. -Dalai Lama”
“Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.”
“If you come to help us,for the moment,you will not gain any profit. We have no oil. We have nothing to offer to you. But the Tibet issue is moral issue. And your American ancestors, like Lincoln or Jefferson,I think they stood firmly on moral principle. American nuclear weapons and economic power alone will not,will not create more popularity. I don't admire your weapons. I really admire your principles, democracy, freedom, and liberty. Now, your policy, I think, must be guided by these things.”
His Holiness the Dalai Lama
“I asked him [Dalai Lama] the most important question that I think you could ask - if he had ever seen Caddy Shack.”
