"Tibetans in China continue to be imprisoned and tortured and killed, but the refugee community in India remains committed to teaching nonviolence and compassion - others before self." CHICAGO TRIBUNE  

"I’m not sure the western obsession with individualism and personal journeys has actually made us happier or more functional in the long term.
