His Holiness the Dalai Lama
spreads compassion with 50,000
people in Seattle
Taking the stage to resounding
applause from the audience, His
Holiness the Dalai Lama began his
address with self-deprecating humor,
delivering the message that he is
but one man and encouraging everyone
in attendance to realize the impact
that one person can have. He
continued encouraging each person to
be empowered to address and
eliminate the problems we face as
individuals, so that we will be
well-equipped to address the
problems we face as a community
and/or nation. Touching on the
broader concept of compassion, His
Holiness reinforced the idea that we
cannot purchase compassion; we must
manufacture it within ourselves,
within our homes and within our
communities. Streaming video of the
entire five-day "Compassion Arrives"
event is available at

Love, Compassion, and Tolerance
by His Holiness the Dalai Lama
“Love, compassion, and tolerance are necessities, not luxuries. Without
them, humanity cannot survive.”
The essence of all religions is love, compassion, and tolerance.
Kindness is my true religion. No matter whether you are learned or not,
whether you believe in the next life or not, whether you believe in God
or Buddha or some other religion or not, in day-to-day life you must be
a kind person. When you are motivated by kindness, it doesn’t matter
whether you are a practitioner, a lawyer, a politician, an
administrator, a worker, or an engineer: whatever your profession or
field, deep down you are a kind person. Love, compassion, and tolerance
are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive. If
you have a particular faith or religion, that is good. But you can
survive without it if you have love, compassion, and tolerance. The
clear proof of a person’s love of God is if that person genuinely shows
love to fellow human beings.
To have strong
consideration for others’ happiness and welfare, we must have a special
altruistic attitude in which we take upon ourselves the burden of
helping others. To generate such an unusual attitude, we must have great
compassion — caring about the suffering of others and wanting to do
something about it. To have such a strong force of compassion, we must
have a strong sense of love that, upon observing sentient beings, wishes
that they have happiness — finding a pleasantness in everyone and
wishing happiness for everyone, just as a mother does for her sole sweet
child. To have a sense of closeness and dearness for others, use as a
model a person in this lifetime who was very kind to you. Then extend
this sense of gratitude to all beings.
Deep down we must have
real affection for each other, a clear realization or recognition of our
shared human status. At the same time, we must openly accept all
ideologies and systems as a means of solving humanity’s problems. One
country, one nation, one ideology, one system is not sufficient. It is
helpful to have a variety of different approaches on the basis of a deep
feeling of the basic sameness of humanity. We can then make a joint
effort to solve the problems of the whole of humankind.
Every major religion
has similar ideas of love, the same goal of benefiting through spiritual
practice, and the same effect of making its followers into better human
beings. All religions teach moral precepts for perfecting the functions
of mind, body, and speech. All teach us not to lie or steal or take
others’ lives, and so on. The common goal of all moral precepts laid
down by the great teachers of humanity is unselfishness. Those teachers
wanted to lead their followers away from the paths of negative deeds
caused by ignorance and to introduce them to paths of goodness. All
religions can learn from one another; their ultimate goal is to produce
better human beings who will be more tolerant, more compassionate, and
less selfish.
Human beings need
spiritual as well as material sustenance. Without spiritual sustenance,
it is difficult to get and maintain peace of mind. The purpose of
religion is not to argue which one is the best. Over the past centuries,
each great teaching has served humanity, so it’s much better to make
friends, understand each other, and make an effort to serve humanity
than to criticize or argue. Buddha, Jesus Christ, and all other great
teachers created their ideas and teachings with sincere motivation,
love, and kindness toward humanity, and they shared it for the benefit
of humanity. I do not think those great teachers created differences to
make trouble. Our human mind always likes different approaches. There is
a richness in the fact that there are so many different presentations of
the way.
There are two ways to
enter into Buddhism: one through faith and one through reasoning. Faith
alone may not be sufficient. Buddha always emphasized a balance of
wisdom and compassion: a good brain and a good heart should work
together. Placing importance on just the intellect and ignoring the
heart can create more problems and more suffering in the world. On the
other hand, if we emphasize only the heart, and ignore the brain, then
there is not much difference between humans and animals. These two must
be developed in balance, and when they are, the result is material
progress accompanied by good spiritual development. Heart and mind
working in harmony will yield a truly peaceful and friendly human
family.
I feel that my mission
is, wherever I am, to express my feeling about the importance of
kindness, compassion, and the true sense of brotherhood. I practice
these things. It gives me more happiness, more success. If I practice
anger or jealousy or bitterness, no doubt my smile would disappear.
The real troublemakers are anger, jealousy, impatience, and hatred. With
them, problems cannot be solved. Though we may have temporary success,
ultimately our hatred or anger will create further difficulties. Anger
makes for swift solutions. Yet, when we face problems with compassion,
sincerity, and good motivation, our solutions may take longer, but
ultimately they are better.
When I meet new people,
in my mind there is no barrier, no curtain. As human beings you are my
brothers and sisters; there is no difference in substance. I can talk
with you as I would to old friends. With this feeling we can communicate
without any difficulty and can make heart-to-heart contact. Based on
such genuine human relations — real feeling for each other,
understanding each other — we can develop mutual trust and respect. From
that, we can share other people’s suffering and build harmony in human
society.http://www.ofspirit.com/dalailama1.htm
