Earth Day - Relationships

EARTH DAY and yes, more words from the Dalai Lama, need to get myself in tune with good vibes.

 

The Dalai Lama gives his thought about Relationships:

The need for simple human to human relationships is becoming increasingly urgent

Today the world is smaller and more interdependent. One nations problems can no longer be solved by itself completely.

Thus, without a sense of universal responsibility, our very survival becomes threatened.

Basically, universal responsibility is feeling for other people’s suffering just as we feel our own.

We must recognize that all beings want the same thing that we want.

It is the realization that even our enemy is entirely motivated by the quest for happiness.

This is the way to achieve a true understanding, unfettered by artificial consideration
