Dalai Lama brings message of peace

At times, amid the throng of admirers hanging on to his every word inside the cavernous amphitheater, the silence was enough to hear a pin drop, as the Dalai Lama sat in yoga style on an stuffed chair and proclaimed:Tony Castro in the Daily News.

"The future of humanity ultimately depends on the public," he said in halting English.

Or when the Dalai Lama issued a beatitude that played on the Golden Rule:

"The destruction of your neighbor is the destruction of yourself. That is the new reality."
