Talking to Others as Just Another Human Being

His Holiness the Dalai Lama speaks on the importance of thinking of the oneness of humanity, how we are the same as human beings, as a way to cultivate warmheartedness towards others in this clip from the archives recorded in Bylakuppe, Karnataka, India on December 25, 2013.

The Dalai Lama's voice is the conduit for a wisdom that has been honed by millennia of observations and meditations by many generations of Buddhist monks. It is a great blessing and a privilege to be able to hear these teachings directly from the voice of this great representative of Tibetan Buddhism.

There s nobody like you in this world. Long live his holiness. ❤

I really like the new subtitle approach instead of the voiceover approach. The subtitles make understanding the Dalai Lama's teachings easier to understand. Everything flows more smoothly unlike the inherent discontinuity and choppiness of real-time voice translations. The information here is succinct, organized, and prepared.👍👍👍

I love his Holiness wisdom and kindness. The subtitles are great and we can clearly hear his Holiness voice.
Long live his Holiness the Dalai Lama.🙏♥️🙏🇪🇺♥️

Wonderful! So grateful for his humility.
It can so frighten people who strive to be good teachers but are trapped by ego.
Much love ❤️

I love being able to hear his voice and beautiful language while I follow the text. I am so blessed that I got to start my day with this reminder that there is such potential in humans for joyous wisdom and love. Thank you!

A very important and simple message for all of us.
The Dalai Lama: "Whenever I speak to others, I consider to be myself just another human being. I don't think I am the Dalai Lama or I'm a Buddhist. If [I would have meet] with Christians and others, I'd be seeting myself apart from them wouldn't I? There'd be a gap between us people in the audience and myself, wouldn't there? It would make us cautious with each other. If I thought of myself as the Dalai Lama, I might adopt a solemn and formal manner, but I don't think of that as being important at all. If I thought to myself I am the Dalai Lama I'd be creating a jail for myself. It would be suffocating and would limit how I conduct myself. Instead I just think of myself as another human being like you, I think about how we are the same." 🙏

Blessed be the words of His Holiness. 🙏🏼🕊️✨

Very simple and educational, liked part of religion/beliefs being optional, morality and kindness being compulsory, thanks dear teacher, HH D.Lama!

Greed is going to wipe us out as a human species. Being subservient is good in peace times but more action is required to save lives, property and our own peace of mind.
