Dalai Lama says God will not help us in the wake of ISIS Paris attack because 'humans have created this problem and we cannot solve it through prayers'
Spiritual leader said there was 'no basis or justification for killing others' Said rise of suicide bombings could not be countered 'only through prayer' 80-year-old spoke out after terrorists murdered 129 people in Paris attacks
The Tibetan spiritual leader said the rise of suicide bombings could not be countered 'only through prayers' and described the terrorists as 'short-sighted'.
He spoke out after extremists went on the rampage through Paris in an attack which included suicide bombs at the Stade de France, mass shootings at bars and restaurants and the slaughter of 89 music fans at the Bataclan theatre.
The 80-year-old told DW: 'We cannot solve this problem only through prayers. I am a Buddhist and I believe in praying. But humans have created this problem, and now we are asking God to solve it. It is illogical. God would say, solve it yourself because you created it in the first place.
'We need a systematic approach to foster humanistic values, of oneness and harmony. If we start doing it now, there is hope that this century will be different from the previous one. It is in everybody's interest.
So let us work for peace within our families and society, and not expect help from God, Buddha or the governments.'
The Buddhist, who received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989, said that if 'serious attempts' were not made to achieve peace, 'we will continue to see a replay of the mayhem humanity experienced in the 20th century'.
He described the terrorists as 'short-sighted' adding that there was 'no basis or justification for killing others'.

Well looky there!
Which god is that?
I thought he's reincarnated.
The Dalai Lama is a sham. A religious figurehead for a hybrid Hindi-Buddhist religious sect, but still a man and not of divine origins or some perfect spirit.
“’We need a systematic approach to foster humanistic values, of oneness and harmony...” In other words, we need more worldly wisdom from gurus such as DW, Al Gore, and other globalist mystical pantheists who hold that humans are “one” with trees, rocks, slugs, and rats, and further, that the physical world is an illusion. If we would only embrace this “wisdom” there would be worldwide harmony.
Yeah.... It took a really big gun to bring down the walls of Jericho and to defeat the pharoah of the exodus. That prayer stuff never works. /s
What a crap religion the dally larma is. Yes I realize that’s not how his name is spelt...like it matters.
He's right. G-d helps those who help themselves.
Thanks for posting that.. Looks like a fun rabbit hole for a winter day next year.
I have read that Buddhism is the religion closest to being atheism.
so the whole world should just be blackmailed or they”will keeeel you” I agree with oneness and the direction of the planet being led by the dead, and without enlightenment
. OUr world does not represent the way of God as Christ called us to fatith, However, western societies need to declare Islam a government and not a religion to deal with the threat to liberty..
“Dalai Lama says God will not help us”
“God would say, solve it yourself because you created it in the first place.”
First just what is this dude a “Dalai Lama” of. He’s in
exile. He’s has no home and is the figurehead of nothing.
It’s obvious God doesn’t wan’t him in charge of anything.
Second who is he to say what God will or won’t do?
Essentially God is the reason all of this is happening
anyway so what does he know anyway and who cares.
Dalai Lama, piish.
Buddhism simply has no doctrine. It teaches nothing. It is a PRACTICE—meditation.
Watched that last night.
A college professor on a local radio show on Monday said they need more butter. Not kidding.
[This isn’t going to go away with prayers, but it doesn’t hurt.]
Christians must humble themselves, ask forgiveness, and change their wicked ways, THEN will GOD hear them, forgive them, and heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14)
If America fails, it’s because of the CHRISTIANS.
