I have a much larger responsibility toward the whole human family

"I am, however, Tibetan before I am Dalai Lama, and I am human before I am Tibetan. So while as Dalai Lama I have a special responsibility to Tibetans, and as a monk I have a special responsibility toward furthering interreligious har- mony, as a human being I have a much larger responsibility toward the whole human family—which indeed we all have."
