Tibetan spiritual Guru the Dalai lama worried over sectarian clashes amongst Muslims in West Asia.
Tibetan spiritual guru in exile Dalai lama expressed sadness and concern over sectarian clashes among Muslims in the West Asia. He said it is unthinkable and felt that killing in the name of religion is ridiculous and prophesied that developing oneness among people would solve the crisis world faces today.
Referring to countries like Afghanistan, Syria and other Islamic nations, the Dalai lama said, "They all follow the same god Allah, same Quran, everyday (offer) five time prayers. Yet, they are killing each other. It's unthinkable, really."
'...killing due to political power or economic interest is somewhat understandable. In the name of religion killing each other is unthinkable. But it is a fact and it is happening," he said.
Addressing a gathering in southern city Bengaluru on Saturday he said developing oneness among seven billion people was his major commitment, and praised India for its religious harmony and tolerance.
He was delivering a lecture on 'Courage and compassion in the 21st century', which was organised by Vana Foundation under their Vidyaloke initiative.
