Buddhism Lasts Violence

More From Dalai Lama

We must realize that violence is not confined to physical violence. fear is violence, caste discrimination is violence, exploitation of others, however subtle, is violence, segregation is violence, thinking ill of others and condemning others are violence. in order to reduce individual acts of physical violence, we must work to eliminate violence at all levels, mental, verbal, personal, and social, including violence to animals, plants, and all other forms of life.

Students of the way must not study buddhism for the sake of themselves. they must study buddhism only for the sake of buddhism. the key to this is to renounce both body and mind without holding anything back and to offer them to the great sea of buddhism.

If science proves some belief of buddhism wrong, then buddhism will have to change. in my view, science and buddhism share a search for the truth and for understanding reality. by learning from science about aspects of reality where its understanding may be more advanced, i believe that buddhism enriches its own worldview.

My paramount object in this struggle is to save the union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. if i could save the union without freeing any slave i would do it, and if i could save it by freeing all the slaves i would do it; and if i could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone i would also do that. what i do about slavery, and the colored race, i do because i believe it helps to save the union; and what i forbear, i forbear because i do not believe it would help to save the union.

I must remind you that starving a child is violence. suppressing a culture is violence. neglecting school children is violence. punishing a mother and her family is violence. discrimination against a working man is violence. ghetto housing is violence. ignoring medical need is violence. contempt for poverty is violence.

All violence is injustice. responding to violence with violence is injustice, not only to the other person but also to oneself. responding to violence with violence resolves nothing; it only escalates violence, anger and hatred. it is only with compassion that we can embrace and disintegrate violence. this is true in relationships between individuals as well as in relationships between nations.

There are no limits to god's compassion with paradises over their one universally felt want: he immediately created other animals besides. god's first blunder: man didn't find the animals amusing, - he dominated them and didn't even want to be an 'animal.'

Our culture says that ruthless competition is the key to success. jesus says that ruthless compassion is the purpose of our journey.
