Monaco Buddhist and Tibetan Dalai Lama of Tibet, born saturday july 6, 1935 in Takster, Amdo (China)

Because we all share an identical need for love, it is possible to feel that anybody we meet, in whatever circumstances, is a brother or sister. No matter how new the face or how different the dress and behavior, there is no significant division between us and other people. It is foolish to dwell on external differences, because our basic natures are the same.
