Common human values, inner peace and Tibet: His Holiness the Dalai Lama addresses the European Parliament Speech by H.H. The Dalai Lama to Mini-Plenary session of the European Parliament 2008-12-03 (EU) - The importance of individual happiness, which can be achieved with the help of universal human values - whether religious or non-religious - was one major themes in an address by the 14th Dalai Lama to the European Parliament on Wednesday. The other topic raised by the Buddhist spiritual leader was the current plight and the future of Tibet. Speaking of Tibet, His Holiness questioned Chinese leadership claiming his tolerance towards the regime was becoming "thinner and thinner". However he stressed: "My faith in the Chinese people remains unshaken and I want to thank my brave Chinese brothers and sisters for their solidarity." The Dalai Lama's non-violent approach is "an extraordinary example", says EP President. The Dalai Lama gave his speech to a formal sitting of the House as part of European Year of Intercultural Dialogue. European Parliament: video | text | news | audio |
