It is my belief that whereas the twentieth century has been a century of war and untold suffering, the twenty-first century should be one of peace and dialogue. As the continued advances in information technology make our world a truly global village, I believe there will come a time when war and armed conflict will be considered an outdated and obsolete method of settling differences among nations and communities.
Dalai LamaTo defy the authority of empirical evidence is to disqualify oneself as someone worthy of critical engagement in a dialogue.
Dalai LamaCompassion naturally creates a positive atmosphere, and as a result you feel peaceful and content.
