Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama on Thursday interacted with staff and students of the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Rohtak via video conferencing and asserted that India is a country with thousands of years of a tradition that promotes Ahimsa (non-violence) and Karuna (compassion).  "We need to rekindle our own age-old Ahimsa and Karuna traditions. In order to create a peaceful and joyful environment, human nature needs to be more sympathetic. Together, Ahimsa and Karuna in our culture may teach the world a path of tolerance, thoughtfulness, and compassion."

Ahimsa As Action Rajni Bakshi https://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/columns/remembering-salem-nanjudaiah-subba-rao-7604965/ 

Key legacies:  1. Facing the realities of   acts of hate crimes or violence within the family is an important first step to defiance and resistance that does not return violence with more violence. Focus on how most people are disgusted by violence.

2. most violence requires organisation and depends on material resources whereas nonviolence is driven by inner energy. 

3. Speak the truth, Be true to ahimsa.  This in turn can cultivate fearlessness — the foundational quality on which nonviolence depends.
