1:35:01
the will to overpower
weaker peoples...

1:35:04
bring shame to me.
1:35:07
I shudder to recall how once long ago
I embraced the same beliefs...

1:35:11
how at one time I was, in fact...
1:35:13
no different from
these intolerant Chinese.

1:35:19
The Tibetans say an enemy
is the greatest teacher...

1:35:21
because only an enemy can help
develop patience and compassion.

1:35:25
They believe with rock-llke faith
that the power of their religion...

1:35:28
will protect them
against these Chinese.

1:35:32
In preparation for
the generals ' visit...

1:35:34
sacred ceremonies are performed
throughout Lhasa.

1:35:37
Sculptures of deities have been carved
with great care in butter.

1:35:42
As the sun melts them, they become
a reminder that nothlng lasts.

1:36:00
The rising star of the cabinet,
Minister Ngawang Jigme...

1:36:03
made an offering of his own
to greet the Chinese generals...

1:36:06
and lead them through Lhasa.
1:36:11
Raising their flag is an honor
the Chinese don't deserve.

1:36:14
When you are not strong enough to fight,
you should embrace your enemy.

1:36:17
With both arms around you,
he cannot point a gun at you.

1:36:20
Nothing in politics
is a matter of honor, my friend.
