　　 Do you have many friends

　　 When they grab drinks directly from your fridge, would you also accuse them

　　Your question may be simple, but what does it embody

　　 For us students of Huazhong Normal University, out of respect, out of friendship, turning on the fan for Khenpo is really nothing —

　　Answer: Wait, wait, aren”t you asking now

　　 What”s your question

　　Question: Actually there are many questions I want to ask, but didn”t we say to be frank

　　 I feel that the first thing I need to bring up is —

　　Answer: Should we discuss this in private

　　 Otherwise many people are eagerly waiting to ask more questions. (Audience laughs)

　　(5) Question: I am also a Tibetan student here. Us Tibetan students have spent junior, senior high school, and university years in inland China. Coming into contact with the education here has allowed us to broaden our horizon, but has also led to a neglect of our mother tongue and a fading of our religious awareness. Currently, bilingual education is only available in primary school. Regarding this phenomenon, I personally do not comment on it, what is Khenpo”s view

　　Answer: This really is an issue at the moment. Many Tibetan students learn Han region textbooks from a young age. Even if there are some Tibetan language books, most of the stories in them are from Han region, such as the story of Lei Feng, hero Huang Jiguang, translated into Tibetan for the students to learn. I have once raised this with the relevant departments: the culture of a land nurtures a people, the Tibetan region has its own traditional thoughts, and it would perhaps be better if these can form the base.

　　Furthermore, quite a few Tibetan students have abandoned their own custom, language, and tradition after coming to the Han region, and many of their behaviours are the same as Han people. Although there is no reason why this cannot be so, but it is quite a shame that Tibetan”s original devout belief, the excellent tradition of filial piety to parents and care for each other have also faded.

　　Many students have returned to Tibet; some were really disappointing, some were not too bad. No matter what, I hope that everyone remembers: wherever you are, a loving heart is the same. It does not matter if you are of Han ethnicity or Tibetan ethnicity; the spread of love has no limitation, no barrier. So, we cannot lose our traditional culture.

　　In summary, no matter where you are, first do not let go of your own language and culture. At the same time, you should learn the advanced knowledge of other ethnic groups.

　　Question: Most of the Tibetan students here today have come from Huazhong Normal University. They will be the future teachers of Tibet. As they are about to graduate, would you like to say something to them

　　Answer: Perhaps there isn”t anything else. I really place importance on a loving heart. Commentator Shantideva taught us, love others as we love ourselves. The ancients also said: “Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you”. This is the greatest virtue in life. Therefore, I hope that when you have stepped into your positions in society, you must treat others with a loving heart!

　　(6) Question: I am a teacher at the Centre for the Study of Spirituality and Cognition at Huazhong Normal University. Nowadays there are many debates on the question of “happiness”. Some say happiness is caring for others, yet there are others who say happiness is built on other”s pain. Dear teacher, how do you see happiness

　　Answer: Our happiness must absolutely not be based on other”s pain and suffering. Not only other “people”s”, not even the pain and suffering of other “living beings”.

　　There was a Western philosopher who said that if humanity bases its own happiness on the basis of killing other lives, doomsday cou…
