We consider that the lives of all beings are just as precious as our own, and through this we develop a sense of concern for others.
Dalai LamaMy aim is to create a happy society with genuine friendship. Friendship between Tibetan and Chinese peoples is very essential.
Dalai LamaWe all have the potential to show others love and affection, but as we progress in our materialistic world, these values tend to remain dormant. We can develop them on the basis of common sense, common experience and scientific findings. The response to the recent tragedy in the Philippines is an example of how such values are awakened; people helped simply because others are suffering and in need of support.
