An Open Mind

At the end of his talk someone from the audience asked the Dalai Lama, "Why didn't you fight back against the Chinese?" 

Larry Berger's photo.The Dalai Lama looked down, swung his feet just a bit, then looked back up at us and said with a gentle smile, "Well, war is obsolete, you know." Then, after a few moments, his face grave, he said, "Of course the mind can rationalize fighting back ... but the heart, the heart would never understand. Then you would be divided in yourself, the heart and the mind, and the war would be inside you."

History always repeats itself.  In thinking about the 'alleged' Isis, a friend put on a link on Facebook which resonates with how I feel. We do not know who is responsible.  


"There is a reason ISIL still want to appear so powerful, why they don’t want to acknowledge that the land they control has been taken from weak enemies, that they are pinned down by air strikes or that just last weekend they lost a significant part of their territory,” he said on The Project."
