Guwahati: “Only human compassion can achieve a peaceful world and called for proper education and awareness for promoting compassion and oneness among human beings. No religion or faith can achieve what human compassion can in respect of total peace in the world,” Dalai Lama, the Tibetan spiritual leader said here on Saturday.
Delivering a talk on “A humane Approach to World Peace” on the first day of his visit to the Northeast India here, The Dalai Lama said,” We have to create human compassion through maximum utilisation of human intelligence. Happy and compassionate individuals make happy families which make a happy society and finally a happy world.”
He said, “The world was today full of problems created by human beings. So, if we can create problems then we human beings must also have the ability to reduce and finally eliminate these problems.”
The Tibetan spiritual leader who became nostalgic recalling his escape from Tibet in 1959 through Tawang and then Assam, said he strived to promote oneness among human beings.
“The world belongs to the same human beings. So, only human compassion can solve problems plaguing the world today. Violence can’t be resolved through counter violence which only leads to more violence and destruction.”
Gracing the concluding function of the Platinum Jubilee of The Assam Tribune, The Dalai Lama said that the thousands years old Indian tradition of secularism which not only teaches to respect all religion but also non-believers, held the key to achieve world peace.
“Compared to the ancient Indian psychology, modern psychology looks like from kindergarten standard. It is my mission now to revive the thousands years old ancient knowledge of India,” he said.
“Money and technology bring physical comfort. For mental comfort we need compassion. Too much of stress, anxiety and suspicion have made even the mostwealthiest on the earth unhappy today,” The Dalai Lama said.
