The 14th Dalai Lama is in Germany for a series of lectures. Contrary to popular belief, he is not a vegetarian.
From the web site of his holiness, here’s a lovely excerpt on his “Three Commitments in Life:
Firstly, on the level of a human being, His Holiness first commitment is the promotion of human values such as compassion, forgiveness, tolerance, contentment and self-discipline. All human beings are the same. We all want happiness and do not want suffering. Even people who do not believe in religion recognize the importance of these human values in making their life happier. His Holiness refers to these human values as secular ethics. He remains committed to talk about the importance of these human values and share them with everyone he meets.
The other two are here.
