Dalai Lama Quote of the Week
I always explain that violence is not the human way. I believe that, fundamentally, human nature is positive, gentle; therefore, the non-violent way is the human way. Also, whatever result we achieve through non-violence has no negative side effect. Through violence, even though we may get some kind of satisfaction, negative side effects are also incurred. Then, most importantly, whether we like it or not, we have to live side by side with the Chinese; thus, in the long future, generation to generation, in order to live happily, peacefully, it is extremely important, while we are carrying on the struggle, to accord with the principle of non-violence.
