Present here today there are important figures from various religious traditions. Despite our philosophical differences, we all promote and propagate the same message of Love, Kindness, and compassion. H.H. the Dalai Lama is a Nobel peace Laurate and whomever he meets whether it is official, personal, or publicly, he shares with everyone the universal message of love”, said Telo Tulku Rinpoche.
“Promotion of Human values is more vital in todays time where we are so overwhelmed with such negative information and the impact of the incidents we hear or read daily can have a negative impact. To overcome or elevate from such sadness and move forward towards development whether its political, economic, or spiritual, only the concept of compassion, Love, kindness, and unity can solve the challenges we face in modern times. I pray for all our brothers and sisters regardless of which tradition we label ourselves and at the same time I seek everyone’s prayers for the people of Tibet who continue to struggle under the harsh regime of the People Republic of China.”
