His Holiness the Dalai Lama is often misquoted, but the following piece seems genuine and is recounted by an attorney in Seattle:

"Someone I know who volunteers in India at Mother Theresa's and who met the Dalai Lama for an interview told me a great story: She asked the Dalai Lama what to do with the person who had truly abused you, and the Dalai Lama looked closely in her eyes for many breaths, then finally said, you turn to that person and forgive him (her) and then you run away as fast as you can."
