Dalai Lama’s address - Forgiveness in action

WITH the memory of the appalling killing of PSNI Constable Ronan Kerr still fresh in the minds of right-thinking people everywhere, the message of the Dalai Lama will not go unheeded.

A spiritual leader of global importance, his words carry great weight.

Some may scoff at what they will see as high-minded utterances. But his philosophy could not be more to the point. Indeed, the world would be a better place if, in our dealings with other people, sentiments such as forgiveness and tolerance were our guiding light.
