Message from His Holiness The Dalai Lama

His Holiness The Dalai Lama said, "The Iraq issue is becoming very critical ... Now think of this. If there is any bloodshed, people in positions of power, those who are responsible, will find safe places and escape the consequent hardship. They will find safety for themselves, one way or the other. But what about the poor people, the defenceless, the children, the old and infirm? They are the ones who will have to bear the brunt of devastation."

"We always hear about better environment, world peace, non-violence and so forth, but such goals are not achieved through the application of regulations or United Nations resolutions; it takes individual transformation. Once we have developed a peaceful society in which problems are negotiated through dialogue, we can seriously think about demilitarisation, first on the national level; then on the regional level; and finally on the global level. However it will be very difficult to achieve these things unless individuals themselves undergo a change within their own attitude."
