“Chinese authorities always try to destroy our religion and language as they believe that these are the root cause that separates Tibet from China. The prayers of most of the self-immolators were for the return of His Holiness to Tibet and the preservation of our unique culture and religion, therefore preserving Buddhism by studying and understanding its true meaning and promoting it by teaching it to the world is the greatest contribution one can give to Tibet and its people.”
“The physical richness of material is impermanent. It may last for years but when you die you cannot take it with you, if we always play politics everywhere it might help a little for our cause but it’s small and lasts only for a short period of time. Therefore studying and practising Buddhism is very important to have a meaningful life”
