This is the text of Ven. Ngawang talking about the essence of Buddhism, recorded June 26, 1998 by Michael Kline in Washington, D.C. 

If I have to tell each and every idea of Buddhism, it would take many years, so now I am just telling you the essence of Buddhism. And that is although it is not necessary to change your address or go to church—that is not very important for the Buddhist practitioner. Our teaching is not based on a kind of blind faith. Rather, it depends on the might of love, compassion, kindness and fortitude. To increase these kind of good qualities of your mind and try to remove those bad qualities which makes trouble to you as well as makes trouble to other people. So, this sort of practice or meditation is essential of Buddhist practitioners.
