You said that the children represent the hope for Tibet. When I heard Mr. Pavarotti's solemn expression of concern for the children of the future, I really was moved, that's really true.
Past history is of course very important, but it has already disappeared into space.
And the past is sometimes good and sometimes bad. It's something either constructive or destructive, but it is already gone. And then, there's the present, and there are certainly unhappy things that we are facing because of past mistakes. The past created all the causes and conditions of present suffering around the world, so logically the best way to avoid this is that we have to address the causes and conditions of these sufferings as a preventative measure. So, the future generations, that is the younger generations, the children, they are the people who are shaping the future.
