Dalai Lama

I describe myself as a simple Buddhist monk. No more, no less.

We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.

If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them.

I am and always will be a leader.

I like to catch fish and release them. I probably haven't killed a fish that I've caught in sport fishing for 20 years. No reason to kill it. You know, just take it and release it.

We have not overthrown the divine right of kings to fall down for the divine right of experts.
