Frustrated by the media's obsession with the succession dispute, he noted that Tibetan Buddhism is essentially like other forms of Buddhism, aiming to awaken the Buddha-like nature within people's hearts so that they behave wisely and mercifully. He expressed the hope that the media would cease dwelling on the succession dispute, an obsession, he said, that did nothing but encourage bickering.
他說，藏傳佛教和其他顯宗佛教一樣，都是要喚醒人人心中的佛性，追求慈悲、智慧，希望社會不要將焦點擺在法王之爭，徒增口舌。
