"Propagation and spread of Buddhas' philosophy to various corners of the world is in itself a testimony to the reality that Buddhism was accepted by countries like China, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Tibet etc. and America, England and some European countries. It's religious and moral message imparted peace and solace to the materialistic western world. Buddhas' message of peace, humanity, patience, non-violence,universal brotherhood, secularism, compassion, social justice and equality, consideration and sympathy to all beings in this universe, proved as beacon-light for the strife-torn and psychologically ravaged western world. Only Buddhas' teachings and practices could provide succour, Diamond Pocket Books, New. In recent times his holiness the Dalai Lama has emerged as one of the foremost exponents of Ahimsa, i.e., non-violence, after Mahatma Gandhi, whom he regards his mentor. He combines in himself a mixture of dignity and restraint while dealing with the traumatic situation brought about by Chinese atrocities followed by the exodus from Tibet. His equanimity of mind and moderation from an early age sustain him in maintaining his balance and joviality. His forbearance and patience are phenomenal. He has been consistently pursuing the twin objects of world peace and human happiness with transparent sincerity and dedication. Be it Tiananmen Square, Mongolia, Vietnam or South Africa, he feels one with those afflicted by strife and violence, for his concern knows no distinctions of race, religion or political affiliations. Speaking as a "simple Buddhist monk" he pleads for tolerance, wisdom and understanding to establish a just and peaceful world order. In his speeches and interviews he addresses his audiences with remarkable simplicity and directness, conveying in simple words his deep thouhgts on wide-ranging subjects and issues of global concern. He carries his burdens lightly on his robust shoulders, and permeates the atmosphere wherever he goes with his delightful presence.<
