This week, the Dalai Lama welcomed more than 200 noted academics, scientists, education specialists, and Buddhist scholars to his official residence in Dharamsala for the 33rd Mind & Life Conference. The conference theme is "Reimaging Human Flourishing". The Dalai Lama offered this wisdom on the first day:
"The time has come to think in terms of the whole of humanity not just our nation within its own boundariesThe environment, too, is telling us that we human beings have to work together as one community, which is the only way we’ll meet such serious issues as the increasing shortage of water. It will require a new approach to education that takes account of scientific findings and that cultivates human qualities on the basis of a secular scientific approach.”
