synopsis
This video presents a talk by His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama. In his unpretentious style, the Dalai Lama stresses the importance of developing compassion and tolerance towards the religious and philosophical beliefs of the world's peoples. Meditation is suggested as the fundamental ground from which individual compassion arises, since it promotes the calming of the mind necessary to see the unity of being behind apparent differences. This mindful attitude results in the cessation of conflict and the establishment of harmony. The Dalai Lama's talk was recorded live in 1997, at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York.
