Basically, all are the same. I come from the East; most
of you here are Westerners. If I look at you superficial ly, we are different, and if I put my emphasis on that level, we grow more distant. If I look at you as my own kind, as human beings like myself, with one nose, two eyes and so forth, then automatically that distance is gone.
We are the same human flesh. I
want happiness; you also want happiness. From that mutual recognition, we can build respect and real trust PRESS�S for each other. From that, can come cooperation and
. --,,-.
���� harmony, and from that, we can stop many problems. �
-Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet "
