Dalai lama has not coming to show us his kindness, so that we can enjoy his charisma, he's coming with a specific message for the specific circumstances of the world today.

I've met the dalai lama briefly, but i would probably say my grandfather was the wisest person i ever met. he was my mother's father, an indian, a family doctor, and very unlike me in that he was deeply religious.
Mother Religious Father
We need a sense of the oneness of the 7 billion human beings alive today. when i meet people, i don't think about being different from them, about being tibetan, buddhist or even the dalai lama. i only think about being a human being. we all share the potential for positive and negative emotions, yet one of our special qualities is our human mind, our intelligence. if we use it well we'll be successful and happy.
Buddhist Successful Thinking
Dalai lama is transforming those criteria - and the whole way of conducting politics. he's conducting politics in a much deeper way than most politicians are able to. he's the only politician i know of who's a monk. the pope, of course, is in a similar position, but the pope isn't in the same way leading a country of many million people.

What the dalai lama had to resolve was whether to stay in tibet or leave. he wanted to stay, but staying would have meant the total destruction of tibet, because he would have died and that would have ripped the heart out of his people.

It's impressive that a man [dalai lama], on the day after his nobel prize was announced, in october, 1989, said to me, "i really wonder if my efforts are enough?" most of us, if we just won the nobel prize, would think this is vindication, or at last there's a chance for tibet. he's the rare person who thinks, as a buddha would, "i don't know if i've done enough, i don't know if i will do enough."

Conservation and rural-life policies are really two sides of the same policy; and down at the bottom this policy rests upon the fundamental law that neither man nor nation can prosper unless, in dealing with the present, thought is steadily given for the future.
