Notable quotes

“I would prefer that you talk about Nalandian Buddhism because the masters of Nalanda University had a vision, extraordinary for those times, of a world spiritual union, which corresponds exactly to the vision that the Tibetans have of Buddhism.”
— Dalai Lama, quoted from François Gautier - Les mots du dernier Dalaï-lama (2018, Flammarion)
