His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama always says that the secular ethics and the ethic of human behaviour, is only governed by law of nature, governed by the reality, the facts. So you have to find your mindset and how to recover who you are, and remain to be who you are, what you are. And not to be converted through the process of education into something suitable for the market. And you are not marketable, you are a human being, you must understand this. And for that purpose if you need to change your lifestyle, you must have the courage to change your lifestyle in order to benefit the others, the larger population of the planet Earth.

There is no lifestyle for anyone, which cannot be changed. If somebody tells you if you do not change your way of life today, you will have a few weeks’ life and you will not survive, at that point I am sure you will change your lifestyle. There may be very few who refuse to change, who choose death and not change the lifestyle. So therefore we can go back to the source, go back to our nature, the human nature that is love and the compassionate mind. You need not search for the compassionate mind from outside. To know yourself, to know your nature, your mind will automatically be the compassionate one.
