“Well you know it was very interesting
because at first, you know, I am not happy
about the ways the Chinese were treating the
Tibetans because I don’t think anyone should
be unkind to anyone else. And so I have been
very concerned about how to think and what
to do about that because I don’t like that.
And I had been this, you know, concerned
about, oh how should we deal with the
Olympics because they are not being nice to
the Dalai Lama, who is a good friend of
mine.
And all these earthquake and stuff happened
and I thought: Is that karma, when you are
not nice that bad things happen to you? And
then I got a letter, from the Tibetan
Foundation that they want to go and be
helpful. And that made me cry. And they ask
me if I would write a quote about that and I
said,“I would.”And it was a big lesson to
me, that some times you have to learn to put
your head down and be of service even to
people who are not nice to you. And that’s a
big lesson for me...”
然后发生了地震等等灾害。于是，我在想：这是不是就是报应呢？当你对别人不好，然后灾害就降临到你的头上？后来我收到了一封信，是西藏基金会发来的。他们想去（灾区）救助。我哭了。他们问我是否可以就此写点什么，我同意了。这对我是一个很大的教训（it
was a big lesson to
me）：有时你得学会低下头帮助别人，即使是对那些对你不友善的人。这对我是一个很大的教训（that’s
a big lesson for me）……”
