The Dalai Lama was in the capital last week to attend a global learning conference of educators and students where he addressed delegates from over 35 countries.
At the end of the conference, the spiritual leader had gone back to Dharamsala.
At the conference, the Dalai Lama spoke about the necessity of accomplishing ‘internal disarmament’ before hoping to achieve disarmament externally.
He also talked about making the subject of compassion an important part of school curriculum and said that present education system only makes individuals run after material things.
He said, at the conference, that the 21st century has seen a lot of killings and sufferings in the form of World War I, World War II and others and that the the younger generation must work towards making a peaceful 21st century.
