Sources from Dharamsala has stated that Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama led a silent prayer in the US for victims of the mass shooting in Orlando, the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) said on Tuesday and the answer to attacks like “this tragedy, in some cases in the name of religion”, is for young people to work daily, individually and in groups towards peace as a long-term goal, the Nobel Peace Laureate said at the US Institute of Peace in Washington on Monday.
The Dalai Lama has said that he was in Washington to promote a worldwide “peace building” campaign in which he led a workshop in India with 28 young activists from conflict zones around the world, especially Africa and the Middle East and if you attempt now, make the effort now, the end of this century could be more peaceful, more compassionate.
He has referred to his decades living and working in India, in cooperation with Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Jews and Buddhists, while many religions teach different philosophies; they all teach love and tolerance and the 80 year old, the global data-face of the Tibetan exile movement, lives in exile in this northern Indian hill town.
