FIGHT. Only for the better of the world.

“There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies. My brain and my heart are my temples; my philosophy is kindness.” A very wise man once quoted this, he was born with the name Tenzin Gyatso, but he is recognized worldwide as the reincarnation of the 13th Dalai Lama. Tenzin Gyatso was born on July 6th 1935, and born in a poor family in Tibet. Moral actions do positively contribute to a society. As he was growing up he did numerous ethical deeds. Tenzin Gyatso stood up to promote peace while others promoted violence, his ethical deeds utterly played a part not only to one but to various communities around the world. If people go ahead and do something with a positive purpose, we appreciate it but we cannot demand an action like that as we demand peace and fairness. We cannot feel others emotions as powerful as they do, but Dalai Lama did, he found what was being done is incorrect and as the leader of his country he assisted them when they needed him and he did what he thought was right. Even though Tibet hasn’t recovered full power over their country yet, Tenzin Gyatso promised his people that he will help them, and this is a moral action.


Tenzin Gyatso is an exceedingly warmhearted human being. The Dalai Lama is one of the greatest spiritual leaders of our time in the encouragement of peace, balance and modesty. The Dalai Lama, as a Buddhist is committed to these values. He is the instrument of Tibet, he speaks for Tibet when Tibetans cannot express for themselves. He engages through the path of order to search for actual freedom for the people of Tibet and he will proceed until his last breath. “If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them” (brainy quote). Tibetans have suffered thoroughly since the occupation of China in their country. Since the occupation almost over “1.2 million Tibetans have died, and greatly suffered” (wikipedia). forced abortions, birth control and patriotic re-education took place whilst the Tibetans were suffering by the Chinese. Dalai Lama now lives in exile in Dharamshala, India, he was forced to go there by the Chinese after he led a failed rebellion trying to defend his country and people. Through his education of his prioritized religion, the dalai lama takes caution when it comes to the emotions and harm of other people.



Dalai Lama is a man with ambition towards peace. On September 1987 Dalai Lama submitted a five point peace plan for Tibet as a step towards a peaceful answer to the deteriorating circumstance in Tibet. He imagined that Tibet would become a region of tranquility at the heart of Asia, where all living beings can live in balance and the exquisite habitat can be protected. China failed to agree positively to the peace plan which was put forward by Dalai Lama. Dalai Lama proposed the five point peace plan to the United States congress in Washington D.C on September 21, 1987. The Dalai Lama wanted his people to live in harmony and he had to do it in a serene process, so this five point peace plan which had been proposed to the United States Congress contained 5 straightforward elements.

1. Transformation of the whole of Tibet into a zone of peace.
2. Abandonment of China's population transfer policy that threatens the very existence of the Tibetans as a people.
3. Respect for the Tibetan people's fundamental human rights and democratic freedom.
4. Restoration and protection of Tibet's natural environment and the abandonment of China's use of Tibet for the production of nuclear weapons and dumping of nuclear waste.
5. Commencement of earnest negotiations on the future status of Tibet and of relations between the Tibetan and Chinese peoples(dalai lama).
“With science and technology, in the future we may be able to reach other galaxies, as we see in science fiction stories where people travel into outer space, visit other planets and meet the beings who live on them. One day this may actually be possible. Yet if we look around us, the whole world is full of problems. If we solve these problems, then it is worth our while going to another planet, but if we have not solved such problems, then instead of helping other planets we may simply end up bringing them extra problems to add to their own. First, it is up
to us to become good human beings.”(wisdomportal). There are certain states of mind which brings us difficulty, and they can be detached; people need to make an effort in that route. Similarly, there are certain states of mind that bring people harmony and pleasure, and we need to develop and magnify them. But to do that we need to learn the value of ourselves, and grow kindheartedness inside us.


The Dalai Lama is one of the most influential people of our time, he has affected millions of people worldwide through his teachings of non-violence and tranquility. He lives by two commitments in life, firstly, the encouragement of human values such as pity, forgiveness, and acceptance. He believes all human beings are equal. Secondly, it is important for all religious traditions to regard everyone and to recognize the worth of others religions. He has developed love and sympathy in many peoples everyday lives. The Dalai Lama is convinced that each human being plays a part in constructing the world to make it a better place. "Human beings by nature want happiness and do not want suffering. With that feeling everyone tries to achieve happiness and tries to get rid of suffering, and everyone has the basic right to do this. In this way, all here are the same, whether rich or poor, educated or uneducated, Easterner or Westerner, believer or non-believer, and within believers whether Buddhist, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, and so on. Basically, from the viewpoint of real human value we are all the same”(bringthehope).


After over 50 years of fighting for his country and his religious beliefs, it is secure to presume that Tibetans and millions of people worldwide will support him through his journey. “My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness"(all-famous-quotes). His, simple quotes develop many amazing character traits in people. His subtle words and teachings change lives, and he assists not only Tibet but various countries worldwide. The main device that he is trying to get through to people is to expand his teachings of peace and kindness, and that those qualities can bring you considerable happiness and satisfaction. As of today, the Dalai Lama considers himself as a simple Buddhist monk - no more, no less.
