Dalai Lama’s Hope for the Future
Submitted by Annie on Tuesday, 19 January 2010No Comment
In general, I feel optimistic about the future. The rapid changes in our attitude toward the earth are also a source of hope. As recently as a decade ago, we thoughtlessly devoured the resources of the world, as if there was no end to them. We failed to realized that unchecked consumerism was disastrous for both the environment and social welfare. Now, individuals and governments are seeking a new ecological and economic order.
--The Dalai Lama, speech, 1992, as published in The Green Devotional, Active Prayers for a Healthy Planet, by Karen Speerstra
