The Great 14th: Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama in His Own Words
His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama has, since his forced exile from his homeland in 1959, been credited as an author of over 100 books and appeared in dozens of international documentary films (including the strange Russian film, Sunrise/Sunset, released in 2008), not to mention the fictionalizations of his life shaped by Martin Scorsese and Brad Pitt.

But what moves one to tears are the recollections by Tibetans who made to Dharamsala in India. It was not possible for me to watch children, nuns, monks, and many other Tibetans describing what they went through without been left with a lump in throat. One emotional climax comes when the Dalai Lama's younger sister speaks. It really breaks one's heart to hear her saying: "When I remember how Tibet was (before the invasion) ... It was so beautiful." China's economic might may rule the day and make cowards of the powerful nations of the world. But the conscience of the world cannot forget Tibet and its people. If we allow this profoundly ancient and wise culture to be wiped out from the face of the earth, we would have lost an essential part of our own selves. Compassion is not an ideology; it is what keeps h
