A PORTRAIT OF THE DALAI LAMA
“Compassion is not religious business, it is human business, it is not luxury, it is essential for our own peace and mental stability,it is essential for human survival.”

-Dalai Lama



“The key to creating a better and more peaceful world is the development of love and compassion for others. This naturally means we must develop concern for our brothers and sisters who are less fortunate than we are. In this respect, the non-governmental organizations have a key role to play. You not only create awareness for the need to respect the rights of all human beings, but also give the victims of human rights violations hope for a better future.”

His Holiness the Dalai Lama
