Last time, someone approached me for blessings, I told him I wouldn't be able to give him blessings; blessings cannot be obtained from external parties. I told him that there are many impoverished, hungry children outside who are in need of food, education and others, and that if he could help these children receive education and to obtain good meals, he definitely would receive the blessings he is seeking!

-- His Holiness the Dalai Lama

達賴喇嘛尊者：「從前有個人來找我加持，我說我沒法給你任何加持，加持不是外在所得來的。現在外頭有許多飢餓窮苦的孩子，如果你能幫助他們受教育，幫助他們三餐得到溫飽，這樣肯定能受到加持。」
