Quote

The antidote to hatred in the heart, the source of violence, is tolerance.
Dalai Lama

The process of dying begins with the dissolution of the elements within the body. It has eight stages, beginning with the dissolution of the earth element, then the water, fire and windelements. The color: appearance of a white vision, increase of the red element, black near-attainment, and finally the clear light of death.

All sentient beings have the seed of the Buddha within them.

We know that to wage a nuclear war today, for example, would be a form of suicide or that to pollute the air or the oceans in order to achieve some short-term benefit would be to destroy the very basis for our survival.
Dalai Lama

I have been clear in my position for quite a while, but the Chinese have not responded. Therefore, we are now in the process of holding a referendum on our policy among all the Tibetan community in exile and even inside Tibet, to check whether the majority thinks we are on the right track.

Forgiveness is the most effective way of dealing with arguments altruism and forgiveness bring humanity together so that no conflict, however serious, will go beyond the bounds of what is truly human.
