FREE OF BEING UPSET? NOT REALLY

The Panchen Lama looked naturally dignified during the whole interview. But, once a while, he gave sunny grins with quick hand gestures.

"I have some opinions about today's young people," he said straightforwardly. "Some of them know little about gratitude. They just take the parent's love for granted. This is not good." A person is born, brought up and educated thanks to his parents, teachers and the whole society, he said. "Without other people, a person cannot be happy. That's why all of us should be grateful. Then we will know what is the right thing to do."

For a young person who decided to be a monk, the Panchen Lama said he had to be determined once making up his mind because monks believe in Buddha "not only by words but also by heart and actions."

"A good monk follows doctrines and disciplines in monasteries in daily life. Also he abides by secular laws as a citizen," he said. "This is the foundation before a monk starts learning sutras. And once he starts, it will take him his whole life to improve his understanding."

He talked about his understanding of Buddhism as the wisdom of happiness.

"Everyone including me will be upset sometimes. The most important thing is how you think of these moments and find the right way to deal with them," he said. "The core of Buddhism is the path to realize eternal happiness."

He has a wish that all people in the world can cherish life, care for life, help each other and love each other as Buddha says.
