Words of wisdom fell like pearls (as usual) out of the Dalai Lama on the desperate need for people of all faiths to work together at this juncture in human history. \u00c2\u00a0But not as usual, they were spoken to Glenn Beck. \u00c2\u00a0T’was an awesome conversation on interfaith-ism. (I think that needs to be a word, interfaithism)<\/p>\n

Glenn Beck told the Dalai Lama about the interfaith work he himself is doing “trying to bring different faiths together without mixing our theology,” in hopes of repairing some of the religious strife ripping the world apart these days.<\/p>\n

\"Dalai<\/a>The Dalai Lama replied the way in which religions hate each other so much “is one of the biggest heartbreaks of his life right now.”<\/p>\n

The Buddhist Pope as he’s been called says “we are dividing ourselves. That we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re being so foolish by dividing ourselves when we all will stand together. We all have similar, if not the same goal. Any good religion has the same goal, and that is happiness, love, and peace. And if we can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t unite on that goal as humans \u00e2\u20ac\u201d because he said everybody on earth needs to recognize that we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re all equal, that we are all the same. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re all human. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re all born, and we all want to be happy. But as he said, there is some troublemakers in that lot as well. And he said many of the troublemakers are highly educated people that are using their position to crush others. He said we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re social animals and yet we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re very self-centered, and those two things don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t match. He said we have to get back to the basics \u00e2\u20ac\u201d his words \u00e2\u20ac\u201d back to the basics, because this is not good for our future, to be so self-centered, if we have to have each other to lean on. And he counseled that we begin to be friends again. He said friendship comes from trust. Trust comes from caring and serving others.”<\/p>\n
