“We need to remember that we are all human beings. We have to think about the whole of humanity, not just my group. We can achieve this through education, one of whose roles is to reduce the gap between appearance and reality. The appearance is that there is a difference between “them” and “us”, while the reality is that humanity is one.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
