His Holiness the Dalai Lama welcomes the main students of this teaching, a group of Buddhists from Korea. He compares the responses of the great spiritual philosophies to three questions: What is the nature of the self? Does the self have a beginning? Does the self come to an end? For Buddhism, a causeless ‘beginning’ is not reasonable because material phenomena and consciousness can only arise in dependence upon their suitable/necessary causes and conditions. And the self appears in dependence upon imputation by consciousness.

His Holiness gives parting advice to the audience of ordained and lay Buddhists from Tibet and around the world and then concludes the oral transmission of the Jataka Tales. These last tales describe the Great Bodhisattva’s past lives as a monkey whose great compassion wins the respect of a greedy royal hunter; as an ascetic whose great patience triumphs over the violence of a royal sensualist; as a deva who teaches the law of karma to an amoral king; as an elephant who embraces suffering to rescue hundreds persecuted by a cruel ruler; and as a prince whose pure integrity and bravery convert a rogue cannibal king. His Holiness concludes these Monlam teachings by reading short portions from the opening of the Dhammapada and the Jataka Tales, as an auspicious sign of further teachings.

After giving the empowerment of the Sixteen Drops of the Kadampa over three days, His Holiness resumes his reading transmission of the Jataka Tales. In the tale of the Ruru Deer, the Bodhisattva’s compassion even extends to protecting one who had repaid an earlier kindness with betrayal, revealing that the root of all virtue is in compassion. The truly virtuous benefit others even at their own expense.
