Ideas may start with a single individual, but they grow as they are taken up by humanity at large. Young people can make a definite contribution to peace in the world.

In a materialistically oriented world there isn’t much understanding of the workings of the mind. What’s necessary is to recognise the trouble caused by negative emotions and that we can develop antidotes to them. The antidote to fear and anger is compassion

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

The time has come to accept that if we're talking about peace in the world, we first have to create peace within ourselves. Join us for @ThePeaceStudio summit on 9/21 as we think about ways we can #OfferPeace in our daily lives. RSVP here: https://t.co/zXMqR5AoMb

Talking to children about racial discrimination can be difficult -- but is critical for teaching them about the importance of equality & tolerance.

@UNICEF has tips on talking to kids about racism.

To me, all these features that differentiate us, like wealth, position, status, and so on, are secondary. I truly believe we can learn to relate to one another on the basis of our shared humanity. And if individuals can learn to do that, there’ll immediately be a basis for trust.

Education today tends to focus on material goals. We seek sensory gratification in music or good things to look at, taste and touch. We may enjoy watching a game of sport, but once it ends the joy is over. What we really need is happiness that is rooted in the power of the mind.

Once local transmission of #COVID19 is under control, getting students back into schools as safely as possible must be a top priority.

We need education more than ever.

Regarding other human beings as our brothers and sisters can make our lives happier and more meaningful. Some people think that when we cultivate compassion and affection for others only they benefit—in fact, we ourselves derive great benefit and satisfaction from such conduct

[United Nations @UN]

Deeply entrenched stereotypes play a critical role in gender inequality.

New @un_stereotype study shows that changing attitudes is critical for advancing equality between women and men. https://t.co/xEIcHi8wfD

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

What is important is not so much how long you live as whether you live a meaningful life. This doesn’t mean accumulating money and fame, but being of service to your fellow human beings. It means helping others if you can, but even if you can’t do that, at least not harming them.

[United Nations @UN]

Human rights are for everyone, everywhere - no matter who you are or whom you love. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

This #PrideMonth, and always, say:

❌ No to violence
❌ No to discrimination
❌ No to injustice
❌ No to hate

Irrespective of whether we have faith in religion or not, it’s good to be more compassionate. It makes us happier as individuals with a positive influence on our families and the neighborhood where we live.
