Dalai Lama on the economic crisis January 14, 2009
Posted by tricycleblog in : General , trackbackThis just in from HHDL XIV, via the Telegraph:
The exiled Tibetan spiritual leader said that the global economic meltdown is the result of a crisis of morality, which had been driven by greed and corruption.
Selfishness and a lack of spirituality and culture in the world were key causes for the current crisis in the world’s financial markets, he said.
Is this too obvious or not obvious enough?

It’s both: obvious and not obvious.
I’m worried that in our collective quest to not loose our wealth (in the West) we create something that is just as unstable as the wealth a year ago has turned out to be. That too comes back to selfishness I think - even though that is a very hard pill to swallow.
Gracie!
