"In order to become prosperous, a person must initially work very hard, so he or she has to sacrifice..." — Dalai Lama

I always tell people that religious institutions and political institutions should be separate. So while I'm telling people this, I myself continue with them combined. Hypocrisy!

I have no trouble sleeping.

I feel exhausted if I teach too long.

In most cases, my visits to the West are for promotion of human values and religious harmony.
