If the situation was such that there was only one learned lama or genuine practitioner alive, a person whose death would cause the whole of tibet to lose all hope of keeping its buddhist way of life, then it is conceivable that in order to protect that one person it might be justified for one or 10 enemies to be eliminated if there was no other way.

More From Dalai Lama

And then the spirit brings hope, hope in the strictest christian sense, hope which is hoping against hope. for an immediate hope exists in every person; it may be more powerfully alive in one person than in another; but in death every hope of this kind dies and turns into hopelessness. into this night of hopelessness (it is death that we are describing) comes the life-giving spirit and brings hope, the hope of eternity. it is against hope, for there was no longer any hope for that merely natural hope; this hope is therefore a hope contrary to hope.
Christian Hope Night
The dalai lama says tibet and the modern world can engage in a conversation; perhaps tibet has something to share with the rest of us based on its researches into mind, and we have a lot that we can share with tibet.
Mind Research World
The principal cause of suffering is craving. once craving is eliminated, much suffering will be eliminated. still more suffering will be eliminated once ignorance is eliminated. both craving and ignorance are equally powerful defilements that cause suffering.
Powerful Ignorance Suffering
One mongolian leader became a very, very brutal dictator and eventually became a murderer. previously, he was a monk, and then he became a revolutionary. under the influence of his new ideology, he actually killed his own teacher. pol pot's family background was buddhist. whether he himself was a buddhist at a young age, i don't know. even chairman mao's family background was buddhist. so one day, if the dalai lama becomes a mass murderer, he will become the most deadly of mass murderers.

What the dalai lama had to resolve was whether to stay in tibet or leave. he wanted to stay, but staying would have meant the total destruction of tibet, because he would have died and that would have ripped the heart out of his people.
Heart People Destruction
I totally disagree with the view that the tibet struggle will die, and there will be no hope for tibet, after the dalai lama passes away.

Science probes; it does not prove. imagine newton's reaction to an objector of his law of gravity who argued that he could not establish a universal law because he had not observed every falling apple, much less proved the law of gravity - there might, after all, be an apple that levitates! why should a group of simple, stable compounds of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen struggle for billions of years to organize themselves into a professor of chemistry?

Day appears again. this time he leans in close enough for his hair to brush, light as silk, against my cheeks. he pulls me towards for a long kiss. the scene vanishes, replaced abruptly by a stormy night and day struggling through the rain, blood dripping from his leg and leaving a trail behind him. he collapses onto his knees in front of razor before the whole scene disappears again.

It's harder to be funny if you're handsome than if you're very normal-looking. it's just more relatable. you're the underdog. i mean it's funny to see people struggle, and you don't buy that brad pitt is struggling, you know that guy could be the most skill-less guy in the world, but if you look like that you will be fine for the rest of your life.
