His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama speaks on the centrality of compassion in Maples Pavilion at Stanford University. He shares his thoughts on the necessity of friendship, altruism, family, selflessness, and religion, from the perspectives of such wide-ranging disciplines as education, social psychology and the neurosciences.

I can not believe people have disliked this. I doubt they even watched it, or they are so clouded with hate for religion they presume that the Dalai Lama is just like the pope or muslim leaders. Very sad.
Honestly, he speaks a lot without really saying anything we didn’t already know.:)
mr.dalai you cant see the 50000 burmee muslims are killed in june july 2012 where is your budhhism lecture budhha terrorism

Buddhist are not so peaceful as you think. Infact in burma they yes buddist are killing mostly muslims and christians as well.
I disliked it because buddhist that say they are so peaceful have killed dozens of muslims in burma and taken it over and this is fact and documented so this is bullshit. Buddha was a great person and maybe even a messenger of Allah cuz buddha actually believed in God after discovering him near the end of his life. I dont think every buddhist actually follow his teaching if they were they would not kill those muslims in burma.
buddhism had a strict code that was followed. Homosexuality was not allowed.Now that has changed ever since the dalay lama from a century before had contact the west, that law changed.sadly buddhism has been attacked in this manner. China and Tivet were against Homosexuality before, now it is different. Currupted.
what happend in burma by the buddist its not normal somwone should do somwting is that peace 20.000 women children and civilians punished to death ? were is the peace were is the mercy ow god i ask you to punish them if its not in this life do it in the hereafter amen (btw i am a muslim feel free to talk)
I don’t believe anything there for the simple reason that the message is over-centered on humans. It’s not a full message, but a rather self-centered hypocritical one upon humans alone.Overall, his message is something obvious that all of us have heard before in some version, him saying this again brings not a single new thing to the general idea of “Start caring for things already!”.If we continue to be in a state where some organization is needed to explain what compassion is, we are doomed.
All those who leave negative comments clearly have no idea what they are talking about. Love and compassion that His Holiness Dalai Lama cultivates is beyond anyone’s comprehension. In every religion there are bad apples- even in Buddhism. But Buddhism is the ultimate salvation, freedom – and the Dalai Lama is a living proof that it can be achieved thru the power and training of our minds. Long Live His Holiness!
Some historyBefore 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…
I have reasons to be skeptical. Another fact:Riots broke out a few years ago in Tibet led by anti-government mobs in names of religion. Hundreds of innocent people were killed(not by police, but by the “protestors”). Again, this is not an evidence against Dalai Lama; but you probably shouldn’t be so convinced of his true purpose. Maybe he is a pursuer of peace after all, that is certainly possible.
Some key words though:America(CIA), riots(in a rival country), peace-seeking Dalai Lama(and his background).I’m not one of those crazy atheists/conspiracy theorists, but please take a look at the facts.
not liking this is like not liking happiness.
calm mind, compassionate mind
awesome guy in grey suit… great video, thank you for sharing
dalai lama built a secret army and forced orphans to join it. google “wikileak dalai lama”
If everything goes well, I’ll be a certified interpreter in 2 years so obviously I was also very interested in the work of Dalai Lama’s interpreter while watching this video and honestly, at least I myself couldnt think of a more beautiful job than the one of this gentleman.
Dalai the biggest terrorist the biggest liar.but in old time Dalai can take everything from Tibetans ,every coin and life generation by generation,people were used as animals,Dalai can ride them as horse ,cut them arms and take life to punish them.they sleep with animals ,when they get babies ,the babies will become slaves to Dalai generation by generation.Dalai terrorists kill people burn house make tibetans burn to death to achieve his slave system.Evil ghost Dalai go to hell.
In “Inheriting an Abundant Earth” a simple rule tweak on inheritance ends up changing the direction and purpose of modern human life! Here’s a fair way to give the 99% the key to the vaults! It’s something specific we can demand. Are we really just this close to having it work right? Break one link, and the chains fall away! Oh yeah, it’s a Ski movie! Watch “Inheriting an Abundant Earth” (“Occupying Chairlifts” 5.0) then sign the petition, and share it!!
Spanish subtitles please. thanks
Im a christian but i find him to be very inspiring as a person:)
I believe there are thousands of denominations of religion but we serve only one god…
Sad but true what he’s saying,there’s more arguement’s on religion than any other topic…
The bible teaches how we shouldn’t judge anybody,but sadly we find christian pastor’s judging other pastor’s of differen’t churches.one denomination of religion putting down another’s faith.i personally respect all religion’s faith,but sadly others will think differently…
I thought the girl at 7:16 had a prosthetic arm.
Please view my video response title “Duran Rivera: The Art of Compassion & Conscious Food Consumption” I hope you find it helpful. Thank You. Chris
Learning is about CHANGE. Positive change…. bless every one.
It’s impossible to dislike Tenzin Gyatso 🙂
Seems you lost your eyes and mind!! Before you open your mouth you are very sure that this really happened. I tell you clearly that Chines made those news. Actually Chines killed million muslims that is for sure. You should put point to chines government instead of Dalai Lama or Buddhism. Buddhism and Dalai lama are promoting world peace and happiness. Now you should think about what you said and you should educate you self instead of criticism others. Don’t be stupid or don’t copy cat from news
Mate, it’s only 35 people. Let it go, lol.
Anyone else notice the hilariously confused-looking guy in the blue shirt looking around the room from 0:12:46?
It was most likely religious people who hate any other religion but their own that disliked this video, secular people only WISH that every religion was as mild as Buddhism.
So the pope or Muslim leaders deserve dislike and then it would be alright? That’s not what Dalai Lama just said – if you have watched the video.
