Dalai Lama

World belongs to humanity, not this leader, that leader or that king or prince or religious leader. World belongs to humanity. ”

If some people have the belief or view that the Dalai Lama has some miracle power, that's totally nonsense. ”

I want to be just a pure spiritual leader. ”

With realization of one's own potential and self-confidence in one's ability, one can build a better world. ”

If you have a particular faith or religion, that is good. But you can survive without it. ”

Whether one believes in a religion or not, and whether one believes in rebirth or not, there isn't anyone who doesn't appreciate kindness and compassion. ”

The Chinese government wants me to say that for many centuries Tibet has been part of China. Even if I make that statement, many people would just laugh. And my statement will not change past history. History is history. ”

Of course, when I say that human nature is gentleness, it is not 100 percent so. Every human being has that nature, but there are many people acting against their nature, being false. ”

Some scientists believe climate change is the cause of unprecedented melting of the North Pole, and that effects these very uncertain weather patterns. I think we should listen to those scientists and experts. ”

Chinese people themselves, they really want change. ”
