DHARAMSHALA: His Holiness the Dalai Lama yesterday began his fortnight visit to the United States by taking part in a two-day conference on Common Ground for Peace Symposium at Syracuse University in Syracuse, New York.
Addressing the peace conference at Syracuse University on Monday, His Holiness the Dalai Lama said, “genuine peace must come through inner peace, taking care of others.” Two days of panel discussions began with a symposium on the rise of democracy in the Middle East.
“What’s peace? Absence of violence is not peace,” His Holiness said. “Peace is something positive. Genuine, lasting peace is true, inner peace. You have to take care of others. Peace will not come from the sky. Peace must come through our actions,” he added.
Panelists included former CIA director R. James Woolsey Jr., former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Andrew Young, Martin Luther King III, Nobel laureates Dr. Mohamed ElBaradei and Shirin Ebadi, and author Irshad Manji.
More than 1,000 people, many of them students, filled Goldstein Auditorium at the Schine Student Center on Monday morning to listen to a discussion of the rise of democracy in the Middle East.
