His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama visited Dibrugarh University on the 3rd of April, 2017 and was received with great enthusiasm and warmth by the Honourable Vice Chancellor, Prof. Alak Kumar Buragohain and the members of the university community, prominent members of the civil society and the Buddhist community of the region.
In a programme coordinated by Shri Chandan Kr. Sarma, Coordinator, Centre for Buddhist Studies, Dibrugarh University, His Holiness the Dalai Lama delivered a lecture on the theme of Ethics in Modern Education. During his address, His Holiness stressed on the message of universal brotherhood through inner peace and compassion. His Holiness impressed upon the audience the significance of love and trust which are necessary for alleviating fear, anger and violence. Human beings, it was also stressed during the address, are inherently compassionate and this has been affirmed not only by philosophers but also by modern scientific research.
Man-made divisions on the ground of religion, language, and region, have adversely impacted our inner peace leading to fear, frustration and eventually violence. His Holiness also spoke on the significance of climate change brought on due to our materialistic greed which has led destruction of natural resources.
