the past, so I could not see the future. As I have gotten older and my life has improved over time; I have started to think there may be ways I can be successful and make meaningful contributions to my life as well as others. As the Fourteenth Dalia Lama (n.d.) says in Compassion and the Individual, “I have found that the greatest degree of inner tranquility comes…

Everyone on this planet is equal and perfectly different. We are young and grown-up, tall and short, dark and fair-skinned. We are those who make our planet look the way it does now. Why have I started with these lines? I believe in this idea: that everybody can live equally in this life; and have a dream to influence others to believe the same thing. There are so many characteristics that make the USA a completely different world, where I have been lucky to get into, but the main difference is…

crossroads of those sectors of debate. Judaism, Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, and Buddhism all discourage violence and revenge, and many institutions of these religions, which influence millions worldwide, are actively anti-capital punishment. The Dalai Lama, speaking for the…

On December 17, 1942, several countries, including the United States and Great Britain, identified the law as an avenue for pursuing justice on behalf of individuals persecuted in the Holocaust, resolving to prosecute war criminals responsible for the mass murder of civilian populations (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum). From 1945 to 1946, the Allied powers sentenced 22 war criminals for their actions, yet the process of understanding crimes against humanity and empowering their victims…

and anger. To forgive is to simplify your life and to let go of the poisonous aspects holding you back. People who can forgive are the people that live the most abundant lives. The first person I connected with when reading each response was the Dalai Lama (129-130). He states,” I believe one should forgive the person or persons who have committed atrocities against oneself and…

The Sunflower is a very interesting story about Simon Wiesenthal and a peculiar interaction with Karl, a dying SS officer while he was imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp. In his memoir, Simon describes how Karl requested his attending nurse to find “a Jew” as he wanted to confess and at the same time, ask for forgiveness from his crimes against Jews. Karl seemed to have experienced a change of heart and understood his acts were morally wrong. His tale began with his childhood and upbringing…

college would need money to pay for school, or a single parent needing money to help pay for her kids to participate in team sports. Like many things, money can be put to poor uses. Yet money can also be put into good use for achieving happiness. The Dalai Lama says, “No self satisfaction alone can determine if a desire or action is positive or negative (p.26). If individuals are to accept the use of money they must be able to obtain enough control over it in order to make a positive effect of…

said NHDSC ‘Queen of Wien’ Janet Riley. In case you were wondering, the NHDSC is the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council. Another quote by the NHDSC states, “Limiting the hot dog’s significance by saying it’s ‘just a sandwich’ is like calling the Dalai Lama ‘just a guy.’”, while this quote may be a fallacy, it has some truth to it. The Hot Dog is not just a sandwich, it is something else entirely, as well as having its own significance in the world of…

We certainly don't expect them, by means of their education, to become what the Dalai Lama might call "good" people. Nor do we expect them to become good thinkers, actors, realtors, or particularly effective in our rapidly changing world, except, perhaps, in tiny and often outmoded ways”(number 9 the goal of education).
