The Dalai Lama’s accomplishments during his lifetime, and his relationship with other religions, especially those mainstream religions, is something remarkable. I would…

    Dr. Martin Luther King is such a hugely looked up to figure in our nation's history because of the incredible injustices he fought, but more importantly because he never lost hope while doing so. King assuredly was living in a remarkably segregated America, and the freedom, dignity, and equality of all races and people that he grappled for did not come easily. However, never was he seen giving up or losing even a shred of hope. Dr. King once said, “We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.” Leading the citizens of the US with this in mind, was how he become such a prominent figure in history, and someone I aspire to be.…

    He addresses the importance and advantages of the diversity of religion and at the same time discuss Buddhism. According to John Hick’s Dalai Lama supported religious pluralism across the world and contrary to this he appeared to be against other religions (Hick). I disagree with what John Hick has indicated in his hypothesis that the perspective of Dalai Lama as being of agitation of religious pluralism. This is because Dalai Lama spends much of his time discussing and spreading Buddhism religion instead of supporting religious pluralism as argued in John Hick’s hypothesis. Even in his interviews, Dalai Lama will not only talk about religious diversity but also must include his religion of Buddhism in his talks.…
