Social stratification or class structure, is an often times a heavily debated issue that has existed since immemorial. Nowhere is this argument more heavily debated than in Africa and Asia, more specifically the countries of India, Tibet and South Africa. India’s caste system as well as South Africa’s apartheid are two perfect examples of social stratification that, although outlawed by their constitutions, still persist even today in some form or another. The so called “Sinicization of Tibet”…
Contentment" by The Dalai Lama and Howard C. Cutler. There was an aspect discussed in this essay and I believe is the source that happiness derives from, desires. If you have a desire for anything, once you acquire such thing, you ultimately get satisfaction, another form of happiness. Desires spring our thoughts and ideas, later affecting our actions. All we want to do with desires is to fulfill them; only fundamental that derives from the term "desire". But what the Dalia Lama said about there…

Heschel address the issue of a transcendent. People struggle with the continuous issue of whether or not God is real. They also struggle with the thought that if God is real, what is the purpose or what are you supposed to do with God in your life? Do you believe you were created by a supreme being with a specific purpose on how to live…
the world a better place. But, most importantly it has allowed us to connect with others and show our emotions to others. It’s an important need to us humans because it keeps us emotionally connected. The article “Living The Compassionate Life” by Dalai Lama explains how humans can show happiness, love, and be compassionate and also be miserable and harmful to others. Compassion is what provides love and without love, we would be very isolated from the world and people.…

His culture is completely unique and different. It is completely different from ours. The reputation of the fourteenth Dalai Lama of Tibet Tenzin Gyatso (b.1935) is also unique enough to be our topic of discussion in our essay. His reputation is unusual and special too. Dalai Lama plays different unique, unusual and special roles. Understanding his reputation must depend on Myth and history as two different items. To recognize the difference between…
Gyalo Thondup, Thubten Jigme Norbu,Lobsang Samten, and Dolma Tsering. When he was two years old he was picked as the rebirth of the 13th Dalai Lama. He was chosen because he was born the closest to the day the previous Dalai Lama died. They also put out toys owned by the Dalai Lama and mixed in some random toys. If Lhamo found all of the toys owned by the Dalai Lama he was to be chosen. Lhamo found all the toys yelling “It’s Mine, It’s Mine!” After he was chosen Lhamo was sent to school to…

By using the teachings of the Buddha, adherents are guided through these challenges as both an individual and a community, whose final goal is to exit the cycle of Samsara and reach Nirvana. The 14th Dalai Lama has used the Buddhist…
non-being is common across the Dalai Lama’s and Jan Willis’ autobiography. One of the major ways that the theme of non-being manifests itself is through the Dalia Lama’s meditation on death. Contemplating death and thinking about the impacts on other people’s lives is part of the Dalai Lama’s daily routine. He knows that death is inevitable, so instead of being fearful of it, he prepared himself for it. Death is his way to be released from the suffering of life, so the Dalai Lama welcomes it…
