Bangalore: “There is a need to create global citizens and the world should eliminate the concept of you and me, we and they, as this is the basis of violence and disagreement,” said the Tibetan spiritual guru, the Dalai Lama, who was here, on Sunday.
“If we develop a sense of concern for everyone’s well-being, there will be no exploitation. We must develop a sense of oneness and genuine peace. Every individual’s future depends on the rest of society.
Today, the West depends on East, and North on South. Therefore, we need to create a genuine sense of humanity and develop inner peace, which can be achieved through education and awareness,” said the Dalai Lama, at the 92nd annual principal’s conference organised by the Association of Heads of Anglo-Indian Schools in India (AHAIS), at Bishop Cotton’s Boys’ School.

Bangalore: The Tibetan spiritual guru, the Dalai Lama, said that he enjoyed his interactions with spiritual leaders in India.
Addressing the 92nd annual principal’s conference organised by the Association of Heads of Anglo-Indian Schools in India (AHAIS), at Bishop Cotton’s Boys’ School here on Sunday, the Dalai Lama said, “Being the longest guest of India, I had the chance to meet many spiritual gurus and learn their philosophies.
The philosophy and purpose of every religion is the same, that is love, self-discipline and tolerance. India’s policy of secularism is the best. We need to respect the non-believers as well,” he said.
An alumnus of Bishop Cotton’s and Chairman of UIDAI, Nandan Nilekani, said that the students should be taught how to learn and adapt as per the needs. “For instance, Aadhaar was just an idea and in the process we relearnt many things and today we have covered a large number of people. The students should inculcate the habit of being curious,” he said.
Principals of Anglo-Indian schools from all over the country were attending the conference. Prof John K. Zachariah, principle of Bishop Cotton Boys’ School, Margaretta Eastwood, principle of Eastwood School, and Maureen Ojha, principle of Tumbridge High School, too attended the conference.
