"I always consider myself first and foremost to be a monk. They will determine whether the 14th Dalai Lama has been reincarnated in another tulku.1. The Himalayan Buddhists of Tibet and Mongolia will decide what happens next.
He goes on to say that his death may well mark the "end of the great tradition of Dalai Lamas" the word means 'great leader' in Tibetan. Part of my daily prayer is this: 'As long as space exists, and as long as there are migrators in cyclic existence, may I remain to remove their sufferings'." There is the karmic force of my ability to assume this role as well as the force of my wish to do so. However, behind the word 'luck', there are actual causes or reasons. "You may consider that, under the circumstances, I am very lucky. He says he has the karmic relationship to be in the role of the Dalai Lama and is at home with it. Following the ancient Tibetan Buddhist tradition, Tibet must and can become a demilitarised sanctuary of peace and nature."
The Dalai Lama further writes, "It is my vision to make my home country, Tibet, into the world's largest nature preserve.

There was too much emphasis on the use of force then, he says, adding "So now they are in a dilemma: how to deal with the Tibetan problem? Things seem to be changing." A number of Chinese leaders now realise that their 70-year-old policy regarding Tibet is unrealistic. For the time being, there is a problem with our Chinese neighbours, but only with a few individuals in the Communist Party. On the Tibet issue, he writes, "I always tell Tibetans: it is much better to consider the Chinese as our brothers and sisters than to think of them as our enemy - no use in that. Both of them are powerful nations, yet neither can destroy the other so, they have to live side-by-side." Both countries have populations of over a billion. On Sino-India ties, he writes, "India and China have developed a sense of competition in recent times. We must, therefore, endeavour to integrate India's ancient wisdom with contemporary approaches to schooling, with the aim of promoting positive human values". I believe India is the only country with the potential to combine its ancient knowledge with its modern education. He praises India's rich civilisational heritage, saying it is "rooted in the long-standing traditions of karuna and ahimsa: compassion and non-violence. Tackling these difficult circumstances will require that we work together," he says. An additional problem that needs to be addressed is that of the growing gap between the rich and the poor. Scientists have predicted that if we don't act to stop it now, in the coming decades, water sources like rivers and lakes, may dry up.
Another very serious issue is that of climate change and global warming. "Today, the pandemic is one threat we face. He also terms climate change and global warming as another very serious issue. "The crisis and its consequences serve as a warning-only by coming together in a coordinated global response, will we meet the unprecedented magnitude of the challenges we face. Economic disruption is posing a major challenge to governments and undermining the ability of so many people to make a living. On the pandemic, the Dalai Lama writes, "In this time of serious crisis, we face threats to our health, and feel sadness for the family and friends we have lost. He asks readers to discuss these thoughts with friends and, if possible, put them into practice in day-to-day life. I am very happy to have had this opportunity to share some of my thoughts and experiences with readers," he says about the book. "What we need to do is to cultivate inner values such as warm-heartedness and compassion. We all want to live a happy life and to do so is our right. "We tend to think that happiness comes from money and power, without acknowledging the role of the mind or that the key to happiness is inner peace. The Dalai Lama says as one among the more than seven billion human beings alive today, he has made a commitment to promoting human happiness.
