H.H. Dalai Lama's acceptance speech

After he received his  Mahatma Gandhi International Award for Reconciliation and Peace.

" As we know Mahatma Gandhi is no longer with us but his philosophy of non-violence  is very much alive," the Dalai Lama said.
 His Holiness also urged his disciples for their moral support in his efforts to promote non-violence, love, and compassion  throughout the world.
"Genuine non-violence will come only after the inner disarmament of our mind," the Dalai Lama said.  "Only with inner disarmament can we bring about outer disarmament.  Lots of problems in this world are created out of ignorance and greed. With our minds full of fear and hatred it is impossible to achieve non-violence."
He encourages everyone to use human intelligence in challenging and overcoming negative emotions with positive emotions.
