Despite authorities’ inability thence far to discovery a motive inward Stephen Paddock’s savage murder of 59 people inward Las Vegas final weekend, the Dalai Lama late commented on why the ready on occurred.
While speaking inward Republic of Republic of India at the Tsuglagkhang temple inward Thekchen Chöling, Dharamsala, on Tuesday, the Buddhist leader discussed the primal problems currently plaguing humanity.
He argued that pedagogy focuses on materialistic values in addition to sensory pleasures inward the external world, in addition to equally a result, people pay less attending to their “inner world, to peace of hear in addition to to morality.”
“One outcome is that nosotros confront problems largely of our ain making,” he said. “Because of a lack of pity wars pause out in addition to nosotros witness unthinkable killing.”
He declined to distinguish betwixt governments in addition to individuals, citing the vogue toward violence both are displaying:
“We pursue merchandise inward weapons whose sole work is to impairment in addition to kill. Look at what happened inward Las Vegas yesterday where nearly sixty people were killed in addition to to a greater extent than than 500 were hurt.”
The Dalai Lama added that “[i]n other places pitiful sanitation in addition to a shortage of nutrient hateful children are dying of starvation.”
He suggested this is ultimately caused yesteryear negative emotions similar anger in addition to hatred:
“Anger in addition to hatred, seeing our blood brother in addition to sis human beings inward price of ‘us’ in addition to ‘them,’ limit our outlook in addition to atomic number 82 to the bullying, exploitation in addition to killing nosotros acquire most inward the news.”
He also spoke out soon afterwards the gruesome massacre inward Paris inward 2015, suggesting “thoughts in addition to prayers” lone volition non solve humanity’s problems.
“We cannot solve this job exclusively through prayers,” he said at the time. “I am a Buddhist in addition to I believe inward praying. But humans possess got created this problem, in addition to forthwith nosotros are bespeak God to solve it. It is illogical. God would say, solve it yourself because yous created it inward the firstly place.”
He cited the excessive violence of the 20th century, expressing delineate of piece of work concern it was spilling over into the 21st. “The twentieth century was a vehement one, in addition to to a greater extent than than 200 1 grand 1000 people died due to wars in addition to other conflicts. We forthwith run into a spillover of the previous century’s bloodshed inward this century.”
“If nosotros emphasize to a greater extent than on nonviolence in addition to harmony, nosotros tin herald a novel beginning,” he also said, cautioning against failing to operate toward this ideal:
“Unless nosotros brand serious attempts to accomplish peace, nosotros volition proceed to run into a replay of the mayhem humanity experienced inward the 20th century.”
In the wake of the Las Vegas shooting, polarized factions inward the U.S. are predictably insisting the answers prevarication inward to a greater extent than gun command measures or to a greater extent than guns, but the Dalai Lama believes the actual means to halt needless killing is to a greater extent than primal — in addition to rooted inward basic human behavior:
“We are social animals, who alive inward communities, who depend on each other to survive. Therefore, nosotros demand to respond to each other amongst beloved in addition to compassion. Scientists possess got constitute evidence, revealed yesteryear immature infants, that basic human nature is compassionate.
He continued:
“However, our natural instinctive pity tends to live biased towards those around us. Since we’re all interdependent, nosotros all create goodness if our neighbours are peaceful, whether they are a neighbouring household unit of measurement or a neighbouring country. Therefore, nosotros demand to extend our pity to the whole of humanity.”
