“If a crime is committed in our presence and we remain silent and do not register opposition to it, it would count as our approval of the crime.”

“Tibet is not a part of China. Neither the Tibetan head of the state nor the Tibetan people themselves have ever legitimately agreed to accede to China. A movement to free Tibet from illegal Chinese rule is in no way to threat to China’s territorial integrity.”

“Unlike the British in India, there are more Chinese in Tibet than the Tibetan people themselves. This demographic invasion has reduced the Tibetans to an ethnic minority within the forty years of Chinese rule. Under such circumstance many observers think that a satyagraha movement initiated by a few people in Tibet would be a suicide attempt. ….Strength lies in truthfulness, justice and fairness, otherwise moral and ethical values could never be established.”

“A Tibetan satyagrahi (practitioner of Truth struggle) should oppose the crimes, atrocities and injustices against humanity in general, wherever they are committed.”
