The Dalai Lama says on Water, a track in his album, “Within my lifetime in the Taktser area, winter on this mountain, annually more snow, then year by year, less and less.” In his words, he refers to the town in eastern Tibet where he was born with the name Lhamo Thondup. The track features his explanation about the need to preserve water as a precious natural resource. In another track Peace, he says, “A compassionate mind is very happy. Usually people consider compassion [a] religious subject. No, compassion is for our own survival.”
