“Some say I am a good person, some say I am a charlatan — I am just a monk.”

Tenzin Gyatso (1935) spiritual leader of Tibet

I have Tibetans, Indians, backpackers, AIDS patients, religious people, politicians, actors and princesses. My attitude is to give everyone some of my time. If I can contribute in any way to their happiness, that makes me happy.
