Charter Dalai Lama. (2001)
Dear friends around the world:
this day's events have made everyone stop their daily lives, whatever they are, and wonder about the fundamental issues vida.No only wonder what is the meaning of existence, but the purpose of our individual and collective experience as we have created, eagerly seeking ways in which re-create ourselves again as a human species, so that never again will we treat ourselves that way.
It's time to prove - to its highest level - Those special thought We are really.
There are two possible answers to what happened today. The first comes from love, the second from fear.
If we come from fear we may panic and do things - as individuals and as nations - that can only cause a greater evil.
If we cling to love, find refuge and strength, we can even offer them to others.
This is the moment of your ministry. This is the moment of your teaching. What you teach at this time, through your word work will remain as indelible lessons in the hearts and minds of those whose lives you touch, now and in the coming years.
Today establish the future of tomorrow. In this hour. At this time. Not seek to point the blame, but the causes.
Unless we use this time to find the causes of our experiences, we never get rid of the experiences they bring. Instead, we will live forever in fear by the responses of those members of the human family who feel distressed, abandoned, and also seek their revenge.
For us the reasons are clear. We have not learned the most basic human lessons. We remembered the most basic human truths. We have not understood the spiritual wisdom simple. In short, we have not heard God, and because of that, we look at ourselves doing ungodly things.
The message we heard from our source of truth is clear: We are all one. This is the message that the human race has largely ignored. Forgetting this truth is the sole cause of hatred and war, and how to remember is very simple :
Love, now and at all times.
If we could love even those who attack us, and understand why they have done that then what would be our response?
If faced negativity with negativity, rage with rage, attack with attack What do we get?
These are the questions facing mankind today. These are issues that we have failed to respond for thousands of years. If not now, remove the need to respond.
If we want the beauty of the world that we co-created to be experienced by our children and our children's children, we must become spiritual activists right now in this place , and make it happen. We choose to be in the heart of the causes.
Therefore, talk to God today. Ask for help, advice, insight, strength, inner peace, and profound wisdom. Ask God today to show us how to act in the world to change it. And join all those worldwide who are now praying and add your light to the Light that dispels all fear.
This is the challenge that is put in front of each person today. Today the human soul asks: "What I can do to preserve the beauty and wonder of our world and to help remove the anger and hatred - and the inequalities that they inevitably cause - in the world that I play?
Please answer this question today, with all the magnificence that you are. What can you do TODAY ... at this very moment? A fundamental teaching in most spiritual traditions is:
What you want to experience, offer it to others.
Watch Now that's what I like to experience in your own life, and the world.
Then see if there is someone for whom you can be the source of that desire.
If you want to experience peace, peace offering to another.
If you know you're safe, let the other know you are safe.
If you want to understand seemingly incomprehensible things, help another to better understand.
If you wish to heal your own sadness or anger, seek to heal the sadness or anger of another.
Those others are waiting for you now. They seek your guidance, your help, your courage, your strength, your understanding and your safety at this time. But mostly, they'll look for your love.
My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.
Dalai Lama
