WORLD PEACE

---

Buddhist leaders have been advocating for world peace for a long time, and the 14th Dalai Lama has been one of the most prominent voices in this regard. According to him, universal humanitarianism is essential to solve global problems, and compassion is the pillar of world peace. He believes that all world religions are already for world peace in this way, as are all humanitarians of whatever ideology. Each individual has a universal responsibility to shape institutions to serve human needs 1.

I believe that world peace depends on a critical mass of individuals comprehending positive, healthy, appropriate principles of human development, wildlife, and earth and then passing that on through a critical mass of people with the intention of acting in the best interest of all people, wildlife, and earth. This idea aligns with the Dalai Lama’s belief that we need to revive our humanitarian values to bring about a great adjustment and strike a balance between material developments on the one hand and the development of spiritual, human values on the other 1.

The U.N. was established with the goal of promoting international cooperation and maintaining global peace and security 2. The U.N. has been involved in various peacekeeping missions around the world, and its efforts have been instrumental in resolving conflicts and promoting stability in many regions 2. That said, any organization like the U.N. is not immune to political influence or other challenges. It is important to continue working towards improving international cooperation and promoting peace and security around the world.
