"Tibetans believe all living things were their mothers in a past life. So we must show them respect and repay their kindness. And never ever harm anything that lives."
- The Dalai Lama, Seven Years in Tibet (movie - docudrama)
"When you are not strong enough to fight, you should embrace your enemy. With both arms around you, he cannot point a gun at you. Nothing in politics is a matter of honor, my friend."
- The Dalai Lama
"All beings tremble before danger and death. Life is dear to all. When a man considers this, he does not kill or cause to kill. You must understand that these words are engraved in the heart of every Tibetan. It is why we are a peaceful people who reject violence on principle. I pray you will see this as our greatest strength, not our weakness."
"Religion is poison."
- Communist Chinese General
"To return a gift is unforgiveable."
"There was a time I would have wished you dead. But your shame will be your torture and your torture will be your life. I wish it to be long."
"We have a saying in Tibet. If the problem can be solved, there is no use worrying about it. If it can't be solved, worrying will do no good."
- The Dalai Lama
