At Cornell University the Dalai Lama spoke about peace.
“Genuine peace comes through inner peace,” he said. “Internally, if you’re full of hatred, full of suspicion, full of fear, then through that way, it is impossible to achieve genuine peace.”
The Dalai Lama told his university audience that they could help alleviate inequality and suffering in developing countries by educating students from these countries.
“Bring or welcome more students from these poorer countries,” he said. “Give them vision, give them self-confidence, give them skill.”
“Instead of sending soldiers, send more students,” he said. “America is part of humanity, Africa, same human family. Brothers, sisters who have prosperity, go to these areas and bring more prosperity.”
