HH the Dalai Lama spoke to more than 400 people from around the world at the Vana Retreat Centre in Dehradun in Uttarakhand, saying that violence always brings suffering: “During almost the whole of my life, I’ve been witness to killing and violence. If things continue this way, the 21st century will end up being as violent as the [last] century.” He said that education is the way forward.
