1. REAL PEACE MUST COME THROUGH INNER PEACE
2. AFFECTION
Grateful Holiness ❤
Greatest teacher of our time
What the world needs now, is compassion, sweet compassion.

If someone shows genuine humanity and love, they will always be struck down in CZcams comments that make outrageous claims with no references or source material.
It degrades our view of the world to strike at others through anonymity.
Instead why not try taking his wisdom for what its worth, and be kind, despite the freedom to be cruel without consequence,
I really don't understand the 40 people who didn't like his teachings. What a great wisdom from his Holiness
How can ANYONE dislike, and therefore disrespect the Dalai Llama
Massive thanks and respect to H.H
How can a person talk so little but teach so much?
I want to talk less but people force you to converse about useless things: status, fear, etc
+Always-Stay-Positive I've personally found what I talk about life, big ideas and important things then others will do the same around you and you can attract people who want to think about and do the same..
Talk about stupid shit and that's the expectation you set for those around you and that's what you attract..
Fantastic talk by the great Dalai Lama and what a fabulous parable.
Thank you your holiness great fourteen dalailama 🙇♀️🙏long live your holiness dalailama 🙇♀️🙇♀️🌻🙏
buddhism is not a religion. It is a practice, philosophy and the path to become buddha. The only one recorded in history who became buddha is Siddharta a prince of India. Unlike other religion it does not openly and sulk up and believe in a all mighty creator. It is the training to bond with the nature and community
Jesus is a Buddha. Buddha is the enlightened one. But who is this Dalai Lama ? A politician ? May the love and the peace of Jesus be with us.
Listen to him and YOU tell us what you think rather than ask ;)
What a great talk, and everybody was so attentive💗
THANK U SO MUCH FOR INVITING HH DALAI LAMA..U HAVE UPLIFT UR ACADEMIC REPUTATION BY INVITING SUCH A SPECIAL BEING
Wow wonderful conference with His Holiness! thanks lot to all.
thanks for uploading this
That is truly amazing
Thanks very much for the guidance 🙏🏼
"All religion is stemming from basic human good quality. Basic human values are secular values." - The 14th Dalai Lama
It's fascinating when individuals with opposing views fail to see that each other's points are both valid and fail strike a point of equilibrium per say. It's a beautiful thing to be able to absorb wisdom from knowledge, without hindrances to wisdom which in context may include grammatical errors, use wrong words, (all part of language barrier). Getting too technical hinders from being able to find intended meaning in knowledge however previously being a perfectionists by nature ...I would encourage the the university to try to post the videos in the best quality possible. I don't personally mind. I seek the essence and would listen to only the audio even,but it could be the difference between a shallow mind going a bit deeper or staying as shallow as it is. I try to share useful media with kids and anyone who I see may have an interest (I live in a small predominantly catholic country) so i would appreciate the best quality. It's important to me because I want to be as effective at getting them interested in the material as possible so it really needs to make a good impression on them which means it needs to be the best quality. I try to get really good videos 1080 but where I can't I settle for lower. But yes i will be teaching them (because I'll be running a tiny summer camp to share useful media and give kids personal attention
),after being able to spark their interest , to look beyond technicalities and to be able to focus on absorbing the essence of good media.
anyway as per the issue bellow here's my opinion in a nutshell
1)It was a great thing getting this video posted
2)If it is easy to make a small adjustment that makes a difference in the quality then do so.(I say this not in a demanding way but rather in a tone of enthusiastic motivation.I would never talk down on good works)
3) the guy with the aspect ration issue did have a point. (however the approach was a bit aggressive. Remember we are all humans and even if we think we are not being offensive we need to be careful about how we speak to others and how we word what we want to say)
Thank you very much for posting such videos. I appreciate it more than you can imagine :^)
best thing ive ever listened too
Inspiring talk
I feel so humbled and grateful for the Dalai Lama spreading his messages to us. I see a gentle mindful sentient being reminding us that we are the same, to focus inward instead of outward, connect with others because we are social animals, reciprocate that compassion we all had to receive from our mother to survive because real peace comes from inner peace. he ofc puts it all together in a more beautiful way since he's so enlightened!!Makes me so confident that Buddhism has it all figured out :)
Amazing Video and message
great video
Excellent!
this is the wisest man of this generation.
The centrality of compassion is LOVE. Compassion is a sign of the Love within. And we know that the root of all that is good from the least to the greatest is Love... God is Love, God is within... and within is Christ's salvation.
Keep ur heart open, listen and think
Wow, what a show.
very very good speech..
My heart is open. :) Happiness to all.
Looks like there are 26 people who need to listen a little more!
@cheddyrod
Hi, can you provide some dates and places this happened that I can make a search for? I went looking after reading this comment, but couldn't find anything to do with Dalai Lama engaging in slavery, mutilations or amputations.
In what way did he engage in these things, when, and what for?
Thanks.
Perhaps a student would enjoy adding a subtitle for hard of hearing and sign language. Thank you STANFORD every life matters no matter how small that you for voting P.E.A.C.E. Please Educate All Children Everywhere forward the LOVE along if you CARE ONE LOVE CO~EQUAL for MOTHER EARTH immunity for abuses couldn't be worse stop bullying those who act upright and show more love LIVELY UP OUT OF SIGHT
Bellissima,la sua voce vera
@cheddyrod Do you have any links? I'm curious about this.
I love him & donate him.
Even so I love Michel Jack
As far as i have understood the Dalai Lama on other occasions he actually means warm heart physically,that means you feel a tender warmth inside your upper torso&led it spread.One reason why he didn't go much into the howto's is maybe,that he doesn't want to be recognised as a Buddhist missionary man,because the actual training is according to Buddhist compassion training...too specific for a broad multireligious audience.if your interested,look up the word Tonglen or Mettameditation
some consolation for my right now, today a young woman passed away
they have a center for compassion and altruism research!? That's amazing! Haha. I love the Dalai Lama
Many Thanks to his holiness for your precious words which were lost in human heart I think it lost by not proper understanding definitely it is your inner light that comes to aware we like people who keen to know. Your child affection with the breast of mother the first emtion of child, but that emotion has been lost being young as well old.I think your remembering from where we have been lost. Your every preach start from mother to aware us so I realize every mother has choosed you most elder child as well some old not so much you are still beautiful to aware your brothers and sister.
Thank you for being an inspiration!

Very True!!! :)
true
Spanish subtitles please. thanks
"Buddha's blessing must come through human hand, human action".
Sadhu, sadhu, sadhu. :)
@cheddyrod
I see. Never-the-less, in your previous comment you did say to "check". Doing so will be incredibly difficult if you can't point to any verifiable sources of information and say I should simply go to a university library and find "some books".
Can you mention any specific book titles? Any particular writers in particular? Perhaps some dates and times for events, or names of places?
Slavery for example, where and when was this practised by the Dalai Lama?
how do you watch this
How I wish that the many self-proclaimed 'enlightened masters' who seem to pop up everywhere on the net these days, could take a look at this. This man exudes a natural, unaffected humility. None of this "I am awakened, and you can be too, just purchase my product" nonsense. The Dalai Lama might not be perfect, but he is nevertheless a great being. His humility is a symptom of much wisdom, IMO.
Good, I like that you share this video, I wish success always He shares his thoughts on the necessity of friendship, altruism, family, selflessness, and religion, from the perspectives of such wide-ranging disciplines as education
@rubberritchie My uncle was in Tibet shortly after the war. He was a young Monk and traveled with a small group of monks from his temple. The abbot of the temple advised against the trip, but did not forbid it and only gave them the advise to keep an open mind. In Tibet they practice a different form of Buddhism than we do. What he and his group was absolutely alarming. To put it mildly, the monks in Tibet do not follow the teachings of the Buddha.
YES HE IS LIVING GOD. WE SHOULD ABIDE BY HIM.
I thought the girl at 7:16 had a prosthetic arm.
Gente cadê a tradução para o português daqui?!
not liking this is like not liking happiness.
You can't link on CZcams but you can Google it VERY easily because everything I said is common knowledge.
how do you watch this its so long
Seems to be putting everyone to sleep including me time for bed will catch up this morning but I am just curious where bruises came !
working on my biology lab write up while listening to this. How strange...
Anyone else notice the hilariously confused-looking guy in the blue shirt looking around the room from 0:12:46?
It's a shame this comments section is so loaded with trolling and that the featured comments have nothing to do with the video itself.
1:05:06 Compassion, to 1:29:31, and funny, too😊
@RiseofBane Compassion helps you survive in the way of not mixing into the world and just giving in to wordly temptations, and in that it makes you a stronger person.
@2arunout this is a quickly drawn conclusion as well...
@Dnash777 i agree with you partially.On the other Hand there are many means to go your own way and the Buddha gave extended teachings on these...there is a path to go of course and not MY way,but universal ways to contentment.The journey and the grade and way we adopt the understanding of the Buddhas is individual,but the "Landscape of Enlightenment" isn't.But maybe my comment is just a clarification for myself and clear to you anyway.Than:Thanx for reminding me&all happiness there is for you!
There's something wrong with the caption.
listen listen listen just listen!
Look at all the peoples faces ,no glow no life where's the light, that shines from within? They're there to find Life's answer and it isn't here.
I've heard his talks and in fact attended one of his lectures before...I also just missed him at a vegetarian restaurant by about an hour once too, which would have been interesting enough. Are you trying to say he didn't take money from the CIA, speak out about his dislike for homosexuality and masturbation, and wasn't involved in the Dorje Shugden controversy?
@RiseofBane You can only teach it to others by being compassionate/loving within your self, if your looking for a how to manual with step by step instructions you came to the wrong place.
No, he lives in Dharamsala.
yoda!
Its very hard to understand him fully, I think he should make more use of his translator :S
Some history
Before Tibet became a part of China, the majority of its population were slaves. It was kind of like the US before the abolition of slavery. The slaves were told by monks that they bear the sins of their souls committed before reincarnation; thus they were destined to be slaves. Dalai Lama was the supreme religious leader at the time, and was forced to exile when the Chinese army took control of Tibet.
Not talking about religion here, but as you can see...
Natural law innate vs mandate or freedom vs kingdom the battle continues.
@NathanWubs My uncle.
@teawead Err, what?
He is not puppet,yet he is offering advice.
@agnostoatomo I agree, And his Instructions on compassion arent Mapped out because he want's you to find your own way to an enlightenment through your own life experiences, Not through his. :)
I meant the Mountain R maybe true not because science can’t find out yet doesn’t mean it is not existed.
The DL is a lightweight
I'm guessing that when you act with anger, most of the time it doesn't help you nor others... but you can see it on your own, no need to listen to me or others. It's your life your choices to make and the consequences of those actions to live with.
Jesus is a Buddha. Buddha is the enlightened one. But who is this Dalai Lama ? A politician ? May the love and the peace of Jesus be with us.
I was talking about things like the Dorje Shugden controversy...which I don't really care about, being an atheist; but it is still oppression nevertheless. Funny how you didn't defend the other issues I presented.
Rinporak sidtama jarok menzene.
What the deli lama doesn’t know about 5 star ⭐️ hotels isn’t worth knowing ✨✨✨
@1RationalMind
There have been of course extremist on both sides. The Dalai Lama himself has spoken out against these extremist.
These people that say this and this happened without having much evidence to back up what they are saying, makes things shaky.
A university of this caliber makes this and they still can't fix a simple problem of aspect ratio? For those of you who don't know what aspect ratio is, I'm referring to those black bars surrounding the video. No. This is a problem I can solve. I'm dumbfounded why some of the nations greatest minds aren't able to do it.
No doubt about your "expertise".
But what does this have to do with the content of the video?
Sad, negative soul, you!
My point is one would expect this video to be professionally edited. The fact that it's not is somewhat disrespectful both to the university's reputation and the Dalai Lama.
I never claimed to be an expert, but this is a problem even I, with my basic knowledge of video editing, can do. Why is it that Stanford overlooked it?
Well, if you see this as a disrespect, fine, your opinion. I still don't understand what this has to do with the content, speak, what Dalai Lama is talking about in this video. I also believe, this is the last thing the Dalai Lama would worry about.
And I also believe, especially by your reply, you haven't got the point! You think, like so many other, small minded, negative minded. You think if you point out something that is not "perfect" than you are so much above all other.
The point here is, whoever wants to HEAR what the Dalai Lama says, wouldn't even see, what you saw, because they want to hear his message.
You, however, you don't want to listen to the Dalai Lama, you use this as your "advancement" to show off, when indeed, you just made a fool out of yourself.
But having said this, and considering your concerns, what about the chairs the audience sat in? I guess they had the wrong upholstery, too. And and and, ... still so many things that were wrong, right?
point here again, the Dalai Lama was happy, and so ma I.
You can go on and - especially now, that I addressed your poor state of mind, go off on me. Of course, but, in a very professional way.
Oh dear world, what is taught in your homes and university, these days!
That is just so hypocritical that I honestly don't know how to respond. If you indeed follow what the Dalai Lama said, why are you so focused on my negative criticism. Why would you go to the trouble of writing entire paragraphs? Why would you dwell so much on it?
Honestly I am not the small-minded one. I'm not the one trying to preach a bullshit message based off of assumptions and not facts.
Oh please, go on and make more assumptions about my state of mind. It's funny just how far off you truly are. That's what happens when you make arguments not based on fact.
Sure, you are the fact, and only you, you are so perfect and professional, you are just .. gosh, you are THE ONE - THE BEST!
My deepest and sincere apology that I dared to oppose the MASTER OF ALL BRAINS.
@spacetraveller2521 something you just cant prove.
do we really need to hear this kind of people to find the goodness? are we all bunch of morons? come onnnnnnnnnnn
China needs to give back what they have taken, end of story.

I supplicate the Dalai Lama for infinite wealth, and infinite wealth for all beings, the seven precious substances, the 101 precious substances in the ultimate book, Dorje and Stupa, etc. Mangalam
Continued...
They fought with Japan to defend their country, analogous to France fighting Germany.
War with Vietnam: enDOTwikipediaDOTorg/wiki/Sino-Vietnamese_War
Read it, and see who initiated the war.
Korean War- China also saw it as self-defense. Given the United States' not so clean record during the Cold War, I would call it justified.
The "protests" were violent and resulted in deaths of many civilians. Of course it was not ok.
Mountain R that Dalai Lama mentions was not true. Maybe it is true but we cannot see with human eyes like hell and heaven and ghosts(bad spirits) angels fairies and reincarnation. Many Buddha students saw many things that normal humans can’t see or hear unless they are arahats or enlightenment ones.
@cheddyrod Do you think that we should listen to (for example) Angela Merkel, Queen Victoria or Barack Obama? All are leaders of nations that has done terrible things.
@Grysham My uncle was in Tibet shortly after the war. Not everything is on the internet and not everything on the internet is factual. If you do a search about the Dalai Lama you will find that he is a paid pawn of the CIA and that is a verifiable fact. If you have access to a very good library, preferably a university library with a very good sociology and history departments, you should be able to find some books that were written by British writers prior to the War.
I wonder what happened to the hundreds of millions of Aztecs, red Indians, Maoris, aborigines etc etc?
You're probably meant the NKVD, but in either case the answer is no.
