I hope you don't mind me taking the liberty of forwarding it on to a few lists because it is an important public declaration from the Dalai Lama which might be of interest to many Buddhists. Walter forwarded; In an evening address, the Dalai Lama, who arrived in Los Angeles on Friday, told about 10,000 people at the Los Angeles Sports Arena that the secret to inner peace is nothing more mysterious than healthy mental attitudes. He repeatedly expressed skepticism about miracles, quashed beliefs in his own rumored supernatural powers and urged people to rely on their own mental faculties to transform negative thoughts into compassion and joy. "So many of our problems are the result of overactive imaginations," he said. "Don't consider me a living Buddha: Then I can't share my experiences with you!" "You should just consider me as your brother." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
