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 always dreamed of writing in an orchestral context. But when you finish a piece, you want to hear it. So we played everything with Phish.

Spiritual practice should not be confused with grim duty. It is the laughter of the Dalai Lama and the wonder born with every child.
