Power may sometimes a curse. It
may be a cause of evil actions. It may trigger someone of having such to
control and use his power to hold or acquire all his wants. But not all, it
depends to the persons or individuals who possess it. If they have really the
courage to sacrifice and have that passion to serve the masses or to be in
public service without any vested interest, we can say that true and
compassionate leadership is being shown.

Dalai Lama is considered as a
state leader of Tibetan race, serving the followers with compassion. In the
status quo, the Dalai Lama is on exile. Exile in the sense if his prolonged
absence from his own country or being expelled from his own native land. He was
on exile because of the problem existed between their races with that of China.
He was considered as separatist of his own way of leading the people and the
way he believes in the rule of life.
It is sad to say that even until
now, he still striving and aiming to these hostilities existed between these
two races. For many years of struggling and conscientiously fighting for their
rights, it is still in the midst of darkness. But they are hopeful to see the
life of the future generation of their race to be in stable, restful sleep and
in great vintage of peaceful living with their own culture and tradition.
On the other story, billions of
people across the nations live lives of poverty, desperation and attachment to
material and bodily pleasures and existence. Some lived it as it was or as it is. Acceptance of whatever it takes them to be. But
others won’t admit on this kind of predicament. Their fight and journey towards
the future is difficult to confront wit, for it seems to be impossible for them
to ignore and just live it as it was.
These poignant images and
realities are just the same with the suffering being experienced by Dalai Lama
for many years. He struggled enough to get the sympathy of the other race to
let them fulfill the total liberation to do their will in the kind of belief they
have. For all these concerns and motives become a queer reproach that ends with
nothing, instead excruciating their desire to attain fulfillment of acceptance
and change. Many vicissitudes and tribulations they may encounter in the path
of their beliefs. Along with this great vehicle towards their goal may tend to
regard them to disappointments yet their optimism vehemently guides them in
pursuing it.
The vital teaching of Buddhism
was simple and ethical. It is to abstain from evil, accumulate what is good and
purify the mind. We must fulfill by the righteous conduct and by the quest of
the ultimate meaning of life. We must do good to others and not thinking of
ourselves alone. We must conquer discontentment and lust. We must be truly and
totally detach from material things and bodily pleasures. We may practice the
eightfold noble path as the way to happiness. Living in these motives and
actions will surely eliminate the world, sensual, physical thoughts and
eventually affect our life positively. It may sound hypothetical, in the case
of Tibetan racial problem in China can be possible to unravel and its conflict
towards a transformative progress. If both of them will submit themselves to
Buddhist’s doctrines, everything will be in good and in peace. It will regulate
the life of any race in justice and freedom. Change and acceptance will reign
for the betterment and progress future of two races and of all.
