Hockey Wisdom of the Dalai Lama

The Dalai Lama wore a Boston Bruins hat during an appearance at the Boston Garden.

My religion is very simple: forecheck, forecheck, forecheck.

If you think you are too small to make a difference, wait until Brad Marchand catches you skating with your head down.

Every day when you wake up, think “I am not going to get angry about others.  I am going to get even with others.”

Silence is sometimes the best answer.  If you go yapping to the linesman you could get a double minor penalty.

Pursue peace, not violence.  Unless you are behind the play and can whack somebody when the ref won’t see you.

This is my religion: Do not strive for worldly prizes, although frankly I think I deserve the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy for best sportsmanship.

Our prime purpose in life is to help others.  This is why you get a point for an assist, same as a goal.

People inflict pain on others in the selfish pursuit of their own happiness.  Although sometimes starting a fight with a high-scoring opponent can pay off for your team.

The way to change others’ minds is with affection, not anger.  However, you are not going to change the mind of a Montreal fan, as they are born without them.
