'WE HAVE A CHANCE TO MAKE THIS A MORE PEACEFUL CENTURY' SAYS DALAI LAMA ON THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF AMERICAN ATOMIC BOMBING OF JAPAN

8/7/2020

 
Marking the 75th anniversary of the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the US military, His Holiness the Dalai Lama published an open letter on Thursday calling on governments, organizations, and individuals to end the threat of nuclear weapons and to dedicate themselves to bringing about peace in an increasingly polarized yet interdependent world.


“Despite many great developments that also took place, the 20th century was an era of violence in which some 200 million people were killed, including the horrific use of nuclear weapons,” His Holiness stated. “Now, in our increasingly interdependent world, we have a chance to make this a more peaceful century.”

“When conflicts arise they should be settled through dialogue, not the use of force. We need to eliminate the threat of nuclear weapons, with the ultimate aim of a demilitarized world,” the Dalai Lama said in his heartfelt appeal. “War means killing. Violence leads to counter violence. We need to put an end to combat and the production of weapons and construct a more peaceful world.”
