Seeking a way to motivate people 0 comments

7 Jun 2007 @ 00:19, by Unknown The Dalai Lama is not certain how to motivate the people of the world to care about issues he sees as threatening to humanity. Speaking at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts, last Month (05/09/07), he was asked "what can we do to wake up our civilization." "The real answer is, I don't know, " he said, but "I think human warmheartedness brings sense of community, sense of responsibility, and sense of concern, and the intelligence side provides us method. Raise the issues, remind leaders. Certainly we will find effective method if we pay sufficient attention and use our intelligence properly." The Dalai Lama repeatedly alluded to concern about the state of the environment. He also addressed the overpopulation issue and the problem of increasing inequities worldwide. "We also have to work to reduce this gap between rich and poor," he said, "the poorer people's living standard must be raised up."
