At the end of one of the Dalai Lama's talks someone from the audience asked,
"Why didn't you fight back against the Chinese?"
The Dalai Lama looked down, swung his feet
just a bit, then looked back up at us and said with a gentle smile,
"Well, war is obsolete, you know. "
Then, after a few moments, his face grave, he said,
"Of course the mind can rationalize fighting back... but the
heart, the heart would never understand. Then you would be divided in
yourself, the heart and the mind, and the war would be inside you."
