London: During an address to a crowd of hundreds in Sarnath, yesterday, His Holiness said, "all people should be more compassionate towards all."

His Holiness the Dalai Lama's statement came during an opening ceremony for a new academic building at the Central University of Tibetan Studies in Sarnath. The event was attended by hundreds of Buddhist monks and fellow Tibetans, in which His Holiness said that to achieve ‘bodhi' you must remove the sorrows of others. During his address the congregation he also said that all living beings in the world feel pain and sorrow, but only humans can feel the pain and sorrow of others.

"Among all living beings, humans have wisdom, hence they should apply their wisdom purposefully and in the right direction," he said.
