In today’s interconnected and globalized world, it’s now commonplace for people of different world views, faiths and races to live side by side. It’s a matter of great urgency, therefore, that we find ways to cooperate with one another in a spirit of mutual acceptance and respect

This is what we expect from our leaders. Let’s elect mature leaders to run our country! x.com/dalailama/stat…

The greatest change we need today is an expansion of our capacity to love, from a narrow focus on me to a broader focus on we. It’s not enough to just love our own children or our own home. We must begin to see every child as one of our children and the earth itself as our home.

Some perspective: 25,673 people killed by terrorism worldwide last year. Over 38,000 were killed by guns in US alone. Meanwhile, 29,000 children under 5 die of preventable causes every day. Where is our attention focused?

I consider non-violence to be compassion in action. It doesn’t mean weakness, cowering in fear, or simply doing nothing. It is to act without violence, motivated by compassion, recognizing the rights of others.

We need to strengthen such inner values as contentment, patience and tolerance, as well as compassion for others. Keeping in mind that it is expressions of affection rather than money and power that attract real friends, compassion is the key to ensuring our own well-being.

Modesty is a virtue that is essential for anyone who wants to be like Jesus, who is meek and humble of heart.

Let us invoke the gift of peace for the whole world, especially for those people who are suffering most because of ongoing conflicts.

Because of the great differences in our ways of thinking, it is inevitable that we have different religions and faiths. Each has its own beauty. And it is much better that we live together on the basis of mutual respect and mutual admiration.

The many factors which divide us are actually much more superficial than those we share. Despite all of the things that differentiate us – race, language, religion, gender, wealth and so on – we are all equal concerning our fundamental humanity.

To defend the earth and to safeguard water is to protect life.

Michelle and I are so inspired by all the young people who made today’s marches happen. Keep at it. You’re leading us forward. Nothing can stand in the way of millions of voices calling for change.

Dear young people, never get tired of being instruments of peace and joy among your peers!
