The other day in the mail, I received this small book entitled “A Human Approach to World Peace” by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, with a foreword by Richard Gere. It was sent by the International Campaign for Tibet. Maybe some of you have also received this small book and a gift envelope. I gladly contribute because His Holiness is a true Humanitarian and a proponent of World Peace.

So we share with you this gem of a book, which was first published forty-years ago, in the hopes that it generates a commitment to be more wise, more loving, and more kind to ourselves, our families, and our world.

A Human Approach to World Peace

When we rise in the morning and listen to the radio or read the newspaper, we are confronted with the same sad news: violence, crime, wars, and disasters. I cannot recall a single day without a report of something terrible happening somewhere. Even in these modern times it is clear that one’s precious life is not safe. No former generation has had to experience so much bad news as we face today; this constant awareness of fear and tension should make any sensitive and compassionate person question seriously the progress of our modern world.
