The Dalai Lama looked down.. swung his feet just a bit.. then looked 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 war is obsolete..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.” ~ The Dalai Lama
In response to a question asked of him at the end of a talk he had given. The question was… “Why didn’t you fight back against the Chinese?”
