I have always had this view about the modern education system: we pay attention to brain development, but the development of warmheartedness we take for granted.

I have done one thing that I think is a contribution: I helped Buddhist science and modern science combine. No other Buddhist has done that. Other lamas, I don't think they ever pay attention to modern science. Since my childhood, I have a keen interest.

My main hope is eventually, in modern education field, introduce education about warm-heartedness, not based on religion, but based on common experience and a common sort of sense, and then scientific finding.

Communication is something we all take for granted.

We have to remind ourselves that what we take for granted now is hard-won.

You never can take for granted that you have a job.
