The Dalai Lama’s visit to the
University of Oregon
By Alicia Lyford
Last
week I had the opportunity to hear the Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, speak at Matthew
Knight Arena at the University of Oregon. As the fifth of sixteen children,
Gyatso was proclaimed the fourteenth Dalai Lama at the age of two. I wasn’t
sure what to expect during his speech, but I knew that his visit would be monumental
for the community and university.
During
his introduction, the Dalai Lama addressed the audience as brothers and
sisters. He had everyone raise their hand depending on which age category he
called, but at the end said that this didn’t matter as much because we are all
brothers and sisters. Throughout his speech he talked about the oneness of
humanity. He stressed that the earth is one small planet in the vast universe
and challenged us to consider what this meant. Elements may change and are
beyond our control but violence problems are our own creation. He said that
people often forget about the oneness of humanity and this neglect is when
problems arise. He believes that once we develop global responsibility we will
have fewer problems. It is easy to isolate things when you are aware of only
the interests of your own community. He explored the idea that you should not
forget your own self-interests but learn to keep a sense of global perspective
to create a holistic view.
