WORLD MUST EMULATE INDIA'S SPIRIT OF NON-VIOLENCE - NEW DELHI: Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama has said the world must emulate India's tradition of non-violence and peace. Inaugurating the Ahimsa Paryawaran Sadhna Mandir (Non-violence environment meditation temple) , he said that in the 21st century, the concept of 'Ahimsa' (non-violence) is more relevant than ever. "Non-violence is very relevant to today's world. Therefore, India's central old tradition must be more active now. This tradition should be a model for the entire planet. They must show it to others," he said. The Ahimsa Paryawaran Sadhna Mandir, is the first temple of its kind, which imbibes an underlying spirit of brotherhood common to all religions and faiths. India from the time of Gautam Buddha, the founder of Buddhist religion, to Mahatma Gandhi, who earned India its freedom through his campaign of non-violence, is a country rooted in 'Ahimsa', the Dalai Lama said.
