In Toward a True Kinship of Faiths, His Holiness the Dalai Lama offers this advice:
"Make the vow today that you shall never allow your faith to be used as an instrument of violence. Make the vow today that you may become an instrument of peace, living according to the ethical teachings of compassion in your own religion."
Let’s take his advice. Repeat after me. “I vow today that I will never allow my faith to be used as an instrument of violence. I vow today that I will become an instrument of peace, living according to the ethical teaching of compassion in my religion.”
