Heinrich Harrer:
[internal monologue]
Nearby, the Tibetan army practiced its maneuvers. Some of the soldiers wear ancient mesh armour. They bring old muskets and spears as artillery. The spectacle of a peace-loving nation, vainly attempting to create a military. The fears of war on my friends' faces... strike a deeply buried personal chord. Echoes of the aggressions of my own country... the will to overpower weaker peoples... bring shame to me. I shudder to recall how once long ago I embraced the same beliefs... how at one time I was, in fact no different from these... intolerant Chinese.
