BHOPAL: A lot of problems, mainly violence and starvation, exist due to negligence and a “huge gap” between the rich and the poor, the Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama said here today.
During his address on the “art of happiness”, the monk said that harmony among different faiths exists in India, which is unique in world.
“All religions peacefully live together (in India). Occasionally, there are some problems mainly due to politicians…So that also is understandable. (There are) some mischievous persons in human beings (sic),” the Dalai Lama said in a lighter vein, evoking peals of laughter.
Acknowledging existence of strife, he said, “(In) today’s world, (there are) lot of problems…From the major disasters (which are) beyond control. But many problems, mainly violence, killing and starvation, are due to negligence and (due to) a huge gap between the rich and the poor.”
The Dalai Lama hailed the peaceful co-existence of various faiths in India. (AGENCIES)
