What did the Dalai Lama say?
The Dalai Lama on Sunday (January 1) underlined the growing interest in Buddhism in the country after years of “repression and persecution” of Buddhism and its followers. Nobel Peace Prize winner Dalai Lama said that the Buddhist tradition of Tibet has attracted a lot of attention in the West. In the past, Buddhism was known as an Asian religion, but today its philosophy and concepts, especially those related to psychology, have spread throughout the world. Many scientists are taking interest in this tradition.
“China has been a Buddhist country”
He said that this matters not only for Tibet but also for China. This also has a direct impact on China, because China has been a Buddhist country, but Buddhism and Buddhists were greatly suppressed and persecuted in China. That’s why there can be a lot of change in China and the world. I have always been optimistic about the possibility of a better world.
