An enemy is the greatest teacher

"The Tibetans say an enemy is the greatest teacher because only an enemy can help develop patience and compassion."

"They believe with rock-like faith that the power of their religion will protect them against these Chinese. In preparation for the general´s visit sacred ceremonies are performed throughout Lhasa. Sculptures of deities have been carved with great care in butter. As the sun melts them, they become a reminder that nothing lasts."

The Chinese believe: "Religion is poison."
