According to one Chinese statistic I came across recently, Tibet imported ten million tons of tea annually from China before the invasion. This cannot possibly be true as it implies that every Tibetan drank almost two tons per year. The figure was obviously invented to try to prove Tibet’s economic dependence on China, but it does give an indication of our fondness of tea.— Dalai Lama – Freedom In Exile

The fundamental precept of Buddhism is Interdependence or the Law of Cause and Effect. This simply states that everything which an individual experiences is derived through action from motivation. Motivation is thus the root of both action and experience. From this understanding are derived the Buddhist theories of consciousness and rebirth.— Dalai Lama – Freedom In Exile
