Well you know it was very interesting because at first, you know,
I am not happy about the ways the Chinese were treating the Tibetans
because I don’t think anyone should be unkind to anyone else. And
so I have been very concerned about how to think and what to do about
that because I don’t like that. And I had been this, you know,
concerned about, oh how should we deal with the Olympics because
they are not being nice to the Dalai Lama, who is a good of mine.
And all these earthquake and stuff happened and I thought: Is that
karma, when you are not nice that bad things happen to you? And then
I got a letter, from the Tibetan Foundation that they want to go and
be helpful. And that made me cry. And they ask me if I would write a
quote about that and I said, “I would.” And it was a big lesson to
me, that some times you have to learn to put your head down and be of
service even to people who are not nice to you. And that’s a big
lesson for me...”
