Dalai Lama: We Must Look Inside

I feel there is a big contradiction. There are seven billion human beings and nobody wants to have problems or suffering, but there are many problems and much suffering, most of our own creation. Why? Something is lacking. As one of the seven billion human beings, I believe everyone has a responsibility to develop a happier world. We need, ultimately, to have a greater concern for others' well-being. In other words, kindness or compassion, which is lacking now. We must pay more attention to our inner values. We must look inside.
