The attitude of 'US' and 'THEM'

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

With particular affection, in the light of the risen Lord, we remember today Pope Francis, who, on Easter Monday of last year, returned to the Lord.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Often, the proclamation of truth is obscured by what we today call “fake news” — lies, insinuations, and unfounded accusations. Yet, in the face of such obstacles, the truth does not remain hidden; rather, it comes forth to meet us, living and radiant, illuminating even the deepest darkness.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The “globalization of indifference” Pope Francis warned about now seems to have become a globalization of powerlessness. Faced with injustice and innocent suffering, we are more aware — but risk doing nothing, overcome with a feeling of helplessness. Yet history is saved by the humble, the just, and martyrs, in whom goodness shines and humanity endures and is reborn.

90th Birthday Message

On the occasion of my 90th birthday, I understand that well-wishers and friends in many places, including Tibetan communities, are gathering for celebrations. I particularly appreciate the fact that many of you are using the occasion to engage in initiatives that highlight the importance of compassion, warm-heartedness, and altruism.

I am just a simple Buddhist monk; I don’t normally engage in birthday celebrations. However, since you are organizing events focused on my birthday I wish to share some thoughts.

While it is important to work for material development, it is vital to focus on achieving peace of mind through cultivating a good heart and by being compassionate, not just toward near and dear ones, but toward everyone. Through this, you will contribute to making the world a better place.

As for myself, I will continue to focus on my commitments of promoting human values, religious harmony, drawing attention to the ancient Indian wisdom which explains the workings of mind and emotions, and Tibetan culture and heritage, which has so much potential to contribute to the world through its emphasis on peace of mind and compassion.

I develop determination and courage in my daily life through the teachings of the Buddha and Indian masters such as Shantideva, whose following aspiration I strive to uphold.

As long as space endures,
As long as sentient being remain,
Until then, may I too remain
To dispel the miseries of the world.

Thank you for using the opportunity of my birthday to cultivate peace of mind and compassion.

Tashi Deleg and with prayers,

Dalai Lama

Friends, greetings from St. Peter’s Square on this extraordinary night!

Having spoken with Cardinal Robert Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, a number of times, I know him as a man of great intelligence, experience, and prayerfulness. I hope his election will have a vivifying effect on the American church.

Let’s all pray for our new pope, Leo XIV!
