Tolerance - the word is derived from Latin "tolerantia" - patience - tolerance for the views , customs , habits. This is an active moral position and psychological readiness for tolerance.
Tolerance is necessary in relation to the characteristics of different peoples , nations and religions. It is a sign of confidence and consciousness of the reliability of their own positions , a sign of an inclusive ideological trend is not afraid of comparison with other points of view and does not avoid the spiritual nodules . The word "tolerance" has almost the same meaning in many languages. In English - a willingness to be tolerant ; French - attitude when a person thinks and acts differently than you are. And the Chinese - to be in relation to other great , in Arabic - mercy , patience, and compassion , in Russian - the ability to accept the other for who he is.
I believe that in the current global level of tolerance is the epitome of the Dalai Lama XIV. The Dalai Lama, who was born July 6, 1935 , is the spiritual leader of the Buddhists of Tibet , Mongolia , Buryatia, Tuva , Kalmykia and other regions. It should be noted that in the Arabic language tolerance is not only tolerated , but also compassion , mercy , and Tibetan Buddhists believe that all of the Dalai Lama were the reincarnation of Avalokiteshvara on the ground , the Bodhisattva of Compassion , they are born here to serve the people.
XIV Dalai Lama has written a lot of books that talk about compassion for all living beings , love and kindness. For example, "The Power of Compassion " - a book that only a society built on a strong foundation of love , compassion, understanding and tolerance , can live in a world of harmony, in his book " Kindness , clarity and comprehension of the essence" - the author discusses the importance of love, kindness , compassion as the foundation of our relationship with the world , "How to give love " - in this book, Lama offers the reader a simple but effective program of transformation of attitude in an outwardly directed compassion and love to the world. Also, the book of His Holiness the Dalai Lama : "Compassion as a source of happiness," "Compassion , based on a biological factor and the mind ," " compassionate life . The path to a life full of meaning . "
For his outstanding achievements, for his compassion and tolerance XIV Dalai Lama was awarded the Nobel Prize, the highest award of the United States - Congressional Gold Medal , awarded the " Compassion and Inspiration" and many others.
The Dalai Lama teaches us tolerance and compassion for all living beings, and to be tolerant and compassionate , tells us about the importance of love and kindness. So if he was a supreme display of tolerance - mercy, compassion and love.
Because I can assure firm conviction that the Dalai Lama XIV is an outstanding personality of our time .
