By Tenzin Monlam  His Holiness the Dalai Lama gives teaching at Somaiya Vidyavihar Campus in Mumbai on December 8, 2017, Photo/OHHDL DHARAMSHALA, December 8: Peace must come through inner peace, said the Tibetan spiritual leader His Holiness the Dalai Lama at the beginning of the two-day teaching (Dec 8-9) at Somaiya Vidyavihar in Mumbai today. “Releasing few pigeons and raising slogans of world peace will not bring peace. It must come through inner peace. So ancient Indian tradition, which tackle our emotion is the proper way to bring inner peace and through inner peace, world peace will come,” the Dalai Lama said at the teaching organized by Vidyaloke with a vision to revive Indian wisdom in contemporary India. The Tibetan spiritual leader said that the knowledge of tackling human emotion comes from religious source. However, he advised to take it as academic subject and not as a religious matter since out of 7 billion human beings, one billion are non-believers and the 6 billion believers belong to various religious beliefs. “India’s tradition of Ahimsa based on Karuna, which knows no national or religious boundary, is not only an ancient message of India but very relevant in today’s world as well,” said the Nobel Peace Laureate after expressing his concern over the number of deaths due to “lack of sense of oneness of humanity and human negligence.” The Dalai Lama also reminded that before spreading the message to the rest of the world, it must first be revived in India. Being a champion campaigner of inclusion of secular ethics based on ancient Indian knowledge as academic subject in school curriculum, the Dalai Lama said that the existing education is not adequate to bring a compassionate human being and a compassionate society. “Indian education system should include the study of how to tackle our inner world (inner values) but strictly secular way and not religious way,” the Tibetan spiritual leader said. The 82-year-old spiritual leader said with age his physical tiredness has increased and that he feels an urgent need for the revival of the ancient Indian tradition. He said, “I maybe active for another ten years. So time is running out and these steps, we are not just thinking of one generation but generations through out the 21st century.” The Dalai Lama told the Indian audience to pay more attention towards the ancient Indian knowledge. “India is the only nation who has the ability and opportunity to combine modern technology, knowledge, modern education with the ancient Indian knowledge of how to bring inner peace.” |
