Here is the insight from the Dalai Lama for 5-19-07 and 5-20-07.
"Peace is not something that exists independently of us. But nor does war. It is true that certain individuals - political leaders, policy makers, army generals - do have particularly grave responsibilities in respect for peace. However, these people do not come from nowhere. Like us, they were nourished by their mother's milk and affection. They are members of our own human family and have been nurtured within society, which we as individuals have helped create. Peace in the world thus depends on peace in the hearts of individuals. This in turn depends on all of us practicingethics by disciplining our response to negative thoughts and emotions, and developing basic spiritual qualities."
