The Dalai Lama – In an exclusive interview in Dharamsala, India, the Dalai Lama tells Fred de Sam Lazaro that he is focused on his moral responsibility as an advocate for world peace, that all major religions teach the practice of compassion, love, forgiveness and tolerance and that he would like to see a common ethics curriculum taught in schools.
