His Holiness the Dalai Lama offers a message of peace. Addressing a crowd of 30,000 in the city of Toronto, Canada, the Tibetan spiritual leader spoke with optimism of recently changing attitudes toward war and said that today’s youth has a moral responsibility to uphold the values of a harmonious and caring world. His Holiness stated, “Destruction of one part of the world is destruction of ourselves. We must promote the concept of dialog for a happy and peaceful century. Whenever we will see a problem, we should resolve it through dialog.”

We are grateful, Your Holiness, for your encouragement toward peaceful ways of life. Blessed be such endeavors in inspiring tranquility and respect among all humankind.
