- His Holiness the Dalai Lama gives a virtual talk on Buddhism, Science and Compassion from his residence in Dharamsala, HP, India on November 25th, 2020. organized by the Einstein Forum based in Potsdam, Germany. His talk is followed by a question and answer session.
Summary :- The Dalai Lama said here that all religions carry the same message of 'compassion.' They all focus on warm-heartedness, tolerance, contentment and self-discipline. Most religions believe in an all-loving, father-like creator. So surely that way of looking at things makes us humans all brothers and sisters. All the same creation of one God. Indian religions believe that we humans are responsible for our own experience. Either way, a sense of concern for other people is ultimately the best way to be happy.
To develop peace of mind, firstly, you should understand that the destroyer of peace of mind is not external (outside of yourself). It is your own internal enemy, anger, that destroys your peace of mind. When anger comes, our own peace of mind automatically disappears. But the antidote (cure) for anger is Karuna (compassion). A sense of concern for all humanity and animals. Be kind, don't harm them.
Today on this planet, anger, jealousy and fear really create a lot of problems. Military weapons, including nuclear weapons, destroy peace. Human intelligence should be used to find the best solution to the threat of nuclear weapons. Then later, try to demilitarise the world -- to do away with all armies. We are all part of one worldwide human community. We need more loving kindness based on the feeling of oneness with all 7 billion human beings.
People are calling for world peace. But without peace of mind, then world peace is impossible. Inner peace is about thinking in a realistic way. You realise that anger and fear must reduce, and that we are all part of one human society. Through inner peace, our activity becomes more peaceful and constructive.
The Dalai Lama was asked if people can knowingly do evil. He answered that the ultimate (essential) nature of humans is pure. We can all, through training, purify our own mind until, eventually, this mind can be Buddha's mind. We call this 'Buddha Nature'. Buddha said that all negative emotions are superficial (shallow)(trivial). On the deeper level, the basic nature of the mind is pure. All these superficial, destructive emotions can be reduced and eventually removed. Whether something is sinful or not, ultimately depends on the motivation (intention). In the advanced Tantric tradition, there are wrathful Deities (Gods?) who appear sinful. But actually, their main motivation is helping humans, so what they do is not sinful. For some people, a little bit of wrath (anger) is needed. If it is done out of sincere compassion, it is not sinful. If I were to egotistically sit on my high throne and selfishly use my title (status) to make some money from teaching, then those teachings would be sinful. Any action done out of selfishness or anger, including teaching, is actually negative and sinful.
Q.3 40:00 The Dalai Lama said that compassion is the opposite of anger. It is the counterforce. When we develop anger, the thing we are angry about [wrongly] appears (seems) independent (separate from us) and absolute (very real). This creates more anger. Buddhism teaches that things do not exist (happen) as they appear. Nothing exists independently. Everything is interdependent. For example, your enemy is ultimately (actually) your own mental creation. (The definition of interdependence is :- Nothing is independent, permanent or absolute. Everything is part of a limitless web of interconnections, and changes constantly. Everything comes from causes, and produces effects).
These two powerful methods reduce negative emotions :-
1) Through compassion, develop 'wisdom-sight' (wise insight?) and see that nothing exists independently.
2) Consider everyone like they are your brother or sister. We are all interdependent.
Verbal, physical and mental actions are all karma. Karma makes an imprint in our mind, which carries life after life. Positive action reduces negative karma, and this way we can reach 'Buddhahood'.
Scientists say that self-centred, narrow-minded people have much more worry, anger and anxiety. Anger is physically harmful. So respect others. Openminded people consider their so-called enemies as their best teachers. Self-centred attitudes cause inner disturbances.
There is a limit to this planet's resources, like food. Global warming is very serious. The future generations will face difficulties if there are too many people. Out of a sense of concern, we humans have to think in a holistic (pure) way of some birth control. I think it is very relevant. He half jokingly said that if there were more monks and nuns, then that would be the best form of birth control.
Thank you sir...🙏
@@anil9075 That's very kind of you, but I don't seek thanks. But when I first put a summary up, I really appreciate a few 'thumbs up likes' because sometimes my summaries have become lost and unread amongst hundreds of other comments.

🙏🙏🙏👍
thanks
Thank you.
Not just anger and fear in world. Also need try control others.
i believe that scientifically speaking it is not easy to achieve peace of mind without belief in certain outcome.
thus peace of mind is fragile and the reasons should be eliminated not inner self adjusted.
can practice not giving in to anger because its predictable. but that causes self destruction out of nonanger but anger influenced emotions.
it is special saints who can be without anger and without fear, but perhaps not even saints.
what do you think?
Am I missing something? Why did he start talking about Estonia when the Einstein forum is based in Germany?
TheHumanNatureBeyondReligion so that we can discuss with Modern Science to Balance up the Imbalance Soul or Energy-forms.

starting at 1.08 his Holiness mentions two books can anyone tell me the name of them...so I can look them up...thank you..
First he mentions Bodhisattvacharyavatara “ the Way of the Bodhisattva” by Shantideva
Then he mentions the philosopher Chandrakirti... not any specific title
@@adamdreisler7365 Thank you so very much for both pieces of information....

The Dalai Lama is 85 years old now. He might need a bit of help occasionally with memory issues.
Looks like it doesn't it, keep forgetting that he already mentioned as I mentioned earlier ahimsa karona human social animal 😂🤣🤣
He’s really thinking what he can say throughout his speech
Pukulu and Max A, he is 86. He speaks FOUR languages. When he speaks with a translator, he speaks very rapidly. He will continue to repeat the message of ahimsa and KARUNA because it is his commitment to make these teachings mainstream again. Try growing some respect please.
@@WeAreAllOneNature I'm sure he wouldn't mind having laugh, no disrespect just simple observations, also pretty sure he does not require any form of defending, otherwise we would not have been putting hours into listening to him, I would say the say thing if I meet him, 🤣🤣🤣😂🙏
oh, and by the way, Bruce, what sort of people do you think start watching a video featuring the Dalai Lama? Of course there are a few internet trolls around who create mayhem for no particular reason but most people who are here listening and making comments already have respect for him. Some are Buddhists or former Buddhists (like me) who happen to like the guy, want to hear what he has to say, but have sympathy for his advancing years. That's all there is to it.
you are still politicians and green strategy, Archangel Raphael
What Buddha taught and what we all r doing!!! 😕😕

Hi His Holiness and other awakened souls.
I have a question. It’s quite common for our community to question government and now also the covid vaccine.
This questioning seems too overall stem from one very specific root. Awareness that the world is under ascension, and having the cabal/shadow government/dark entities try and put a halt to that process by lowering our vibration so that the ascension does not collapse the system we currently have.
But the main question I have is, if this process of ascension is inevitable, and universal. Isn’t it bound to happen either way? Vaccine or not? With the cabal resisting it or not? So really, what is there to be afraid of?
Would love to hear anyone’s opinion on this.

HELLO！ダライ・ラマ日本語ですみません。私は日本の真如苑の法要で御導師、真聰【参座の中照明落とす暗い中金色の、御釈迦様参座何か書き学ぶ】御導師真聰にも、同時かかり、何か三点背中確認しているような、感謝感激嬉しく。では失礼します。感謝の報告。
Hello to you in Japan. I am sure the Dalai Lama appreciates your gratitude.
i react with being offended and judge you as ignorant if you say humanity was never violated and then i say, no humanity is exactly violated in the way you react all the time
and if someone is not peaceful, he or she has to go to prison!

You believe in science also, but you never embrace this.
