People are too serious. All the time, too serious.

China still practices harsh measures and policies towards Tibetan people. I met many educated people from Tibet who voiced their grievances to me and they all say the same thing.
boy child healthy people worry
At the beginning when the child is coming, people worry the child may be deformed. When a healthy boy or child comes, people are very happy for a short moment.
change finding home people religion resources rush spiritual value
I always say that people should not rush to change religions. There is real value in finding the spiritual resources you need in your home religion.
lama people
The Tibetan people will need to determine who the next reincarnation of the Dalai Lama is.
buddhism people tend urged
Open-minded people tend to be interested in Buddhism because Buddha urged people to investigate things - he didn't just command them to believe.
people chinese violence
I only escaped from Tibet because I feared my people would resort to desperate violence if the Chinese took me as their prisoner.
spiritual people fields
Spiritually, yes, now many people knows Tibetans in spiritual field are very, very advanced but in material field is very, very backward.
compassion people miserable
When a person is in a miserable situation, then, yes, it is difficult to develop genuine compassion toward others. That's why I find it difficult to say to poor people, "Please have compassion toward millionaires." That's not easy.
dream people development
No single Tibetan dreaming return of previous sort of backwardness, therefore as far as economy development is concerned, Tibet remain within the People's Republic of China, we will get greater benefit.
running people choices
In pluralistic, democratic societies, there is the freedom to adopt the religion of your choice. This is good. This lets curious people like you run around on the loose!
spiritual people materialism
People once considered that religions were obsolete and that material science would solve all human problems. Then they have become disillusioned with materialism and machinery and have realized that spiritual sciences are also indispensable for human welfare.
motivation people benefits
Your motivation should be sincere and your life should be of benefit to some people. That is the main thing. Don't care after my death.
ideas people life-is
I feel like my life is something purposeful. Many people have told me that after they listen to my talk, some point which I made, they got certain ideas and their whole life is changed. They are happier.
