The Dalai Lama is in the state to take part in the
1st Convocation of Central University of Jammu that is
scheduled to be held on March 18, 2018 at
General Zorawar Singh Auditorium, University of Jammu.
Speaking on the occasion, the Dalai Lama said that ‘mentally,
physically, emotionally, human beings are same everywhere. Everybody wants
happiness, joyfulness; the foundation to this happiness is peace of mind’.
In his message to the people of J&K, the Dalai
Lama said that ‘I want to express special greetings and prayers for
people of the state. We should always keep peace of mind and should not let
anger overtake us. Anger always brings disaster and prevents us from using our
intelligence effectively therefore preventing us from finding solutions to
difficult situations’.
