  • \f0\fs26 \cf2 CAVANAUGH: First of all, thank you so much for speaking with us this morning.

  • Your holiness, your lectures to students in San Diego are about compassion without borders.

  • I want to ask you first about compassion within borders. Do you think America is a compassionate

  • nation?\ DALAI LAMA: Well, I think every human being,

  • born from mother, and at least the next few years, you see, received immense affection

  • from our mother. So the child's first experience in this lifetime at the beginning, I think

  • that immense affection from other is in our blood. So therefore, the whole rest of life,

  • other people show you smile, genuine sort of closeness feeling. You feel happy. Even

  • animals also like that. So the person who received maximum affection from mother, that

  • person also sort of cultivated the potential showing affection to others. But the problem

  • -- so that's why I think everywhere, I think the problem is these basic sort of human values

  • from our -- from the beginning, from birth, are not sort of properly nurtured. So then

  • our mind, our brain, through education and also difference of experiences, that eventually,

  • these basic values or what are called dominant, not have the catching up our intelligence, experience growth, that

  • also should grow. Then our life become more human. So now here, country to country, obviously

  • those countries, their constant fear does damage about that. So from that viewpoint,

  • America, free country, democratic country, so more opportunity. Still is more sort of

  • Alive. This is my feeling.\ CAVANAUGH: There are many scientists and researchers

  • here in San Diego, lots of them, and they make advances in medicine climate science,

  • high-technology. Do you think science can be a tool of compassion?\

  • DALAI LAMA: Oh, yes! Not directly, but you know medical science now, for example, medical

  • science begin to notice for good health, peace of mind, self-confidence, optimism is something

  • very important. And also preventive measure. And that level also. The mental attitude very,

  • very crucial factor. Then another sort of field, the brain specialist, or neurospecialist,

  • neuroscience, they now begin to feel or begin showing interest, the brain movement. Of course

  • there are another factor, which sort of pushing these, the brain cells' movement. So what

  • is that? \f1\fs28 \uc0\u8232

  • \f0\fs26 [ LAUGHTER ]\ DALAI LAMA: That is what you call mind. Sometimes

  • people feel mind is merely the -- in some animal, the energy or something from the brain.

  • Now there are little sort of curiosities or I think doubt sometimes a sheer sort of mental

  • attitude, some change in our brain. So these fields, now scientists are showing some interest.

  • So the first part, the peace of mind, is very essential for our health. So in that level,

  • I think scientific finding, immense benefit to get our wellness and eventually conviction,

  • peace of mind is not just a luxurious item, but peace of mind is actually very important

  • for our survival, for our healthy survival. Then also, you see the family level, genuine

  • harmonious, or genuine sort of full of affectionate family, not money, not power, not just mere

  • education, but these basic human values is a key factor. So individual level, community

  • level, national level, even international level. A lot of problems we are facing, essentially,

  • manmade problem. Own creation. Not due to lack of intelligence. In some cases, lack

  • of full knowledge or holistic view, that is also part of the problem. But mainly lack

  • of moral principle. So long you have this genuine sort of concern, well being of other.

  • That's the foundation of moral principle.\ CAVANAUGH: You're also speaking about climate

  • change. What does climate change have to do with compassion?\

  • DALAI LAMA: Yes! Compassion is concern of others' well being. Climate change has been

  • immense difficulties of pains or illness or hard life on this planet. So through that

  • way, you have sense of concern of the well being, not sky, not just the environment itself.

  • But we live within the environment. So that directly relates with our survival, our life.

  • So through that way, more concern of well being of humanity, then naturally concerned

  • about environment.\ CAVANAUGH: Your holiness, you've recently

  • separated your spiritual leadership as Dalai Lama from the temporal leadership that your

  • position used to include. The Tibetan government in exile now has a secular leader. Does this

  • mean that you believe in the separation of church and state the way we do here in America?\

  • DALAI LAMA: Oh, yes! Absolutely! Spirituality actually must be above politics. Or some other

  • sort of business. So one reason, in my childhood, and particularly when I take the responsibility,

  • I already have sort of keen desire, we must change our system. Then as soon as we reach

  • India, 1959, at once we start working for democratization. Now here if remain in a political

  • sort of field, supreme leader, at the same time religious leader, that may become hindrance

  • of proper democracy. And then another thing, now this is mainly for our interest about

  • Tibet, our struggle. Whole struggle depend on within person. For dangerous. Foolish!

  • Not for this only institution or even not only for Buddhist dogma, but before national

  • sort of right, our right. So therefore this struggle must carried by people themselves.

  • So once they carry full responsibility, then whether I'm there or not, they will carry

  • the struggle. Now, after I handed over all my authority, I feel now our struggle become

  • much, much safer. And me personally, the day I officially handed over, that night, very

  • unusual sound. I am quite free now. \f1\fs28 \uc0\u8232

  • \f0\fs26 [ LAUGHTER ]\ DALAI LAMA: I can do what my energy, my time,

  • to my other sort of commitment. And then also emotional, religious harmony. So in these

  • two field, now that more or less I think the spirituality or human values in these fields,

  • I may consider my only professional field. The political, national struggle, these are

  • not my profession. \f1\fs28 \uc0\u8232

  • \f0\fs26 [ LAUGHTER ]\ CAVANAUGH: Your holiness, you've recently

  • written a book called beyond religion, ethics for the whole world. Some people think that

  • we can't be compassionate or ethical without religion. Can we get beyond religion?\

  • DALAI LAMA: Yes, certainly! Animals, I will ask you, animals have any religion?\

  • CAVANAUGH: No.\ DALAI LAMA: Cats, dogs, and some I mean, birds

  • many species of mammals,, they also have the sort of potential to show affection firstly

  • because of the biological factor. And then like dogs, if you the owner of the dog, really

  • showing not just food but real affection, then dog very much appreciate. Isn't it?\

  • CAVANAUGH: Yes.\ DALAI LAMA: Just give food without showing

  • affection, they might not get sort of 100% satisfaction. So they also, you see, when

  • we human beings, we show affection, the poor animal also respond to us. Licking, or cats

  • sometimes, you see, they are sort of with the palm, put her, and purr, purr, or something

  • special sort of sound. You say very peaceful. Isn't it? That is the response of affection.

  • So they also have the -- they appreciate others' affection, they also have the sort of ability

  • to show their own affection. And then as soon as we're born, child, no religious faith.\

  • CAVANAUGH: Yes.\ DALAI LAMA: So that's my main argument. So

  • the affection is mainly biological factor. Then further sort of strengthening, that religion

  • helps. And without religion, also there is a way, it could be this way, through education,

  • through scientific findings, then you get conviction. Not necessarily really love other,

  • but for their own interest they are showing love, compassion to other like that.\

  • CAVANAUGH: My last question to you, do you feel it's your obligation to go around the

  • world to give these lectures? Or is it also your joy?\

  • DALAI LAMA: Not obligation. Without invitation, I never go.

  • \f1\fs28 \uc0\u8232 \f0\fs26 [ LAUGHTER ]\

  • DALAI LAMA: Then also when invitation come, then I inquire just to see new place or seeing

  • just the one sort of family, then not much interest. The invitation come from some institution

  • who really involving so-called my own profession, these fields. And then different universities

  • or education sort of institution, I feel that is the place where the awareness of these

  • things to start and to spread a more human community. So then on that level, yes, I have

  • some obligation. I one individual human being. One of the seven billion human being. I believe

  • each of us, our future depends on the rest of humanity. Humanity happy, I get benefit.

  • Humanity in state of trouble, or violence, I cannot escape from that. So every sort of

  • seven billion human being have to think about the well-being of humanity. So my own share

  • making contribution, my own share. So I never feel I am something special. We all same.

  • Now I am -- now a person, new nearly 77 year old, and also my life not easy. Last 50, 60

  • years, my life as a grownup, tremendous difficulties. That also some help, all these difficulties

  • due to lack of sense of respect others' right lack of sort of sense of concern about others'

  • well being. And then also, you see, when I here, I always listen BBC. The sort of sad

  • events everywhere. In my mind of course natural disaster like tsunami, and these things, also

  • I think indirectly may relate to human behavior. But then major sort of problems actually they're

  • due to a lack of moral principle. In a free country, America, or India, and Japan, and

  • many places, democracy country, free country, but still within the sort of rule of law,

  • some injustice, some sort of problems, some discriminations, and also some sort of scandals

  • or the corruptions. These things, you see, they are always in my mind, I think many people

  • agree, lack of moral principle. Therefore we have to make effort through well through

  • every corner, media people, education sort of institution, and family, parents, everywhere.

  • It is our common goal, common interest promote more compassion toward the world. So like

  • that. So therefore that's my own one individual sort of contribution. So let us have that

  • kind of effort from all, except those child or handicapped or too old. But the many people,

  • they sort of have the opportunity to create trouble or to create a good thing, now should

  • think more seriously, should not indulge any work to create more problems.\

  • CAVANAUGH: Your holiness, thank you so much for speaking with us.\

  • DALAI LAMA: Thank you.}
