The Dalai Lama

In today 's world, the role of technology has become primal and a necessity in our daily lives. In The Dalai Lama, we are able to see the astounding capabilities that the new technological advancements are able to do. However, to only a certain extent are these advancements beneficial, as these improvements can as well lead to serious matters in regards to our system of ethics and moral reasoning. By being able to establish a limit on the use of these advancements, it is possible to create a balance between the benefits of the technological improvements and being able to maintain a system of global ethics. The role of genetic manipulation, cloning and selection of traits all have potential in providing humanity with assistance in making daily living an unchallenging asset.

In the Dalai Lama’s writing of The Role of Religion of Modern Society, I agree with him on how each religion can be true and help people to respect one another no matter the religion they practice. While growing up most humans are taught to practice one religion, in which they inherited from their parents and most of the time both parents practice the same religion. So children are taught to follow and believe that their religion is the most valid and true. In my case I disagree with these types of people and agree with The Dalai Lama, because I grew up both Jewish and Christian. Being able to learn and practice both religions, I noticed the similarities and differences and learned to believe each religion is true.

The impacts of Buddhist teachings and the worshipping of individuals in the buddhist community, enabled those in society to reflect upon their ethics. This notion is evident through the buddhist ethical teachings that governs our morals, decisions and actions established as a result of the Dalai Lama’s philosophical teachings of peace, which is further supported by the notion of “Puja”, the act of devotional attention and offerings.

Most  religious  leaders  come  to  power  through  elections  or  appointment.          However,  the  leader  of  the  Gelug  school  of  Tibetan  Buddhism,  the  Dalai  Lama,  is  simply  found.          Buddhists  believe  in    reincarnation,    the  idea  that  a  person’s  soul  never  dies  and  is  instead  born  into  a  new  body.          Additionally,    the  death  of  one  Dalai  Lama  spurs  the  quest  for  a  young  person  born  with  that  special  soul. The  search  for  the  fourteenth 

The Dalai Lama once said, “Major religious traditions carry basically the same message, that is love, compassion and forgiveness… the important thing is they should be part of our daily lives” (Huffington Post). This quote by the Dalai Lama speaks to the issues of pluralism and interfaith understanding. Pluralism is used to describe the diversity of different cultures and how they actively interact with one another. It engages the differences between cultures to obtain a deeper, more profound understanding of each other’s beliefs. To engage in pluralism means to equally support, accept and participate in the decisions of various religious groups as well as placing a positive value on faith and practice. In pluralism, all religious practices are considered beneficial as long as they follow the laws of the state and do not harm individuals within the community.

Martin Luther King Jr. once said "A riot is the language of the unheard." The Oka Confrontation, commonly known as the Oka Crisis, is yet another hardship faced and is continuing to be faced by Native Canadians. Specifically, the Mohawk. First Nations were always treated like second class citizens in North America. When their land rights were threatened, they decided that enough was enough and that they were not going to accept this anymore. It was about time they were respected. The Oka Crisis was part of the revolution of the First Nations as Canadians and as equals. They were not going to be pushed around anymore and accept what the white people laid out in front of them, they were there to make their own decisions and keep what is rightfully theirs. After years of oppression, this was the last straw.

In the 1960s, the idea of equal rights for African Americans citizens began to take hold in the United States At the head of this major movement were two major leaders: Martin Luther King Jr. Despite the fact that they had the common goal of racial equality, they had opposing views on how to obtain it. Martin Luther King Jr. believed that Civil Rights should be obtained peacefully, through methods such as boycotts, sit-ins, and marches. While Malcom X believed that such a thing should be obtained at all costs, with violence or otherwise. While many blacks found themselves divided between the two. I believe that Martin Luther King Jr. 's made the most sense.

Everything started when the 13th died, and the tibetan government saturated to look the reincarnation of the new Dalai Lama. Using their mythical techniques to find the new Dalai Lama. Turning from the north to the South the suspected that the new ruler will be found in that region of Tibet. They got like a vision of the sacred lake Lhamo Lhatso. Following their vision, a search party that was hosted by Admo decided that they will go there to investigate. When they found a statue of turquoise and gold structure they thought they were even closer and closer to the new ruler. They stayed there the whole night to investigate if their little Lhamo Thondup.e 3 year old son called, Lhamo Thondup. The

Born in China, Dalai Lama who originally was called Tenzin Gyatso was the spiritual leader of Tibet. He reined this region from 1950 after being declared the spiritual leader in 1937. His advocacy was for non-violent liberation and this made him earn a Nobel Prize in 1989. The objective of this paper is to offer a detailed analysis and criticism of the response of Dalai Lama (His Holiness) as he is interviewed by Jose Ignacio about the possible integration of Buddhism and Christianity. However, Dalai Lama does not think that there are possibilities of the two religions integrating without the loss of integrity despite the fact that all major religions have some common features in them. The paper shall as well offer response and conclusion to the argument that ‘all the major world religions are destined emphasis on love, compassion, tolerance, and forgiveness to promote the inner values in people and not conflict.’

Martin Luther King, Jr. was born in 1929. He was born in the shadow of his father and eventually became the Baptist minister of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama in 1956. While he was the head of the church, he led a boycott of Alabama’s segregated bus system. Dr. King was also the spokesman for the American civil rights movement that ultimately led to him being honored with the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. In 1963, while he was incarcerated in an Alabama jail, he read a statement that had was issued to him by his fellow clergy men that questioned the wisdom of his tactics used in his non-violent movement. The statement also sympathized with the goals that the civil rights movement had set forth. Dr. King advocated and practiced nonviolent civil disobedience, which critics argued that the law should be obeyed even by those who worked to change it. In formulating his reply to the statement, King used tattered scraps of paper that were lying around and a smuggled in pen from lawyers to compose the open letter titled “Letter from the Birmingham Jail”. The letter was heavily circulated in many liberal magazines and newspapers until it reached a million copies and became the single most famous document of the movement. Unfortunately, Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated in 1968.

Martin Luther King, Jr. was a key leader and activist in the African-American Civil Rights Movement. He fought against racial inequality through nonviolent resistance. Many Americans of all races admired Martin Luther King as a symbol of leadership and what real movements look like. The Black Lives Matter movement started after the non-guilty verdict of the killing of Trayvon Martin. It campaigns against police brutality, calling for racial justice and pushing for the progress of our civil rights in the 21st century. Since this era is much more technologically advanced then back then, the type of racially motivated acts is different from those committed during the civil rights era, but the core problem of systemic racism remains the same. That being said, despite the differences the Black Lives Matter movement should be considered as the new Civil Rights movement and would undoubtedly be supported by Martin Luther King Jr.

Martin Luther King Jr. was a leader in the Civil Rights Era, advocating for the Civil Rights Act’s passage and eventually passage of the Voting Rights Act in the 1960s. In his capacity as a Civil Rights leader, MLK delivered his famous “I have a dream” speech after the march for Civil Rights in Washington, D.C. His speech was delivered on August 28th in front of the Lincoln Memorial. In his speech, MLK made sure to emphasize the hope that many African Americans had in the United States. Furthermore, MLK makes it clear that hope to him is defined as, “Sons of former slaves and sons of former slave owners can sit down at the table of brotherhood… that Mississippi will someday be turned into an oasis of freedom and justice… that [his] children will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” (King, 219) MLK’s sense of hope is shared by his need for the humane and equal treatment of African Americans. Moreover, MLK stands and speaks in front of Abraham Lincoln’s National Monument, alluding to the historic signing of the Emancipation Proclamation which abolished slavery. The significance of this allusion helps to show the progress that has yet to be made, the fact that African Americans 100 years later still need to fight to be treated like human beings. MLK hopes to lead a movement which will see the abolishment of segregation between people of color and white people, as well as the right for African Americans to vote and reform their

The Dalai Lama has also challenged adherents to accept the fate that is given to them and make the greatest use of their reincarnated form. As a young child he was unable to reject the position of ‘Dalai Lama’ however he has managed to utilise this position to the best advantage and has bettered the world through this. He has pushed for the bettering of the world for both religious and secular societies. His messages of peace, tolerance and the renunciation of the desires of anger and revenge have resonated with people globally.

Milarepa’s captivating life story depicts a man willing to commit sins on behalf of his mother’s command to one that decides to leave his family, in order to achieve enlightenment. This autobiography allows him to remain to be a beloved yogin because of his drastic and fulfilling spiritual transformation, thus encouraging Tibetans to seek a similar path to nirvana in their lifetime. However, Milarepa proves that one’s journey to liberation and enlightenment has to be earned and fought for spiritually and psychologically.

Among world leaders, there is no one like His Holiness the Dalai Lama, religious and political leader of Tibet and winner of the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize. Brought up from an unusual childhood, he became head of the state of Tibet at age 16, and was later forced into exile by the Chinese government. Despite all the hardship he had to endure he does not give up his fight for freedom and treats all sentiment beings with love and compassion. Through his fight for freedom, he has proven himself to be the spiritual and political leader whom the people of Tibet love.
