《尊貴 法王 達賴喇嘛 開示》

我確信我們所有人都同意，我們需要克服暴力，但我們首先應該仔細思考，捨棄暴力這件事的價值，究竟何在。

從嚴格且務實的角度來看，在某些場合，暴力行為似乎非常有用，很快的，我們的問題可以透過武力，立刻獲得解決。

但是，這種成功往往是建構在犧牲他人的權益與福利上，況且，這雖然短期看似解決了一個問題，但其實，另一個後續問題的種子，已經立刻被種植。

I’m sure all of us agree that we need to overcome violence, but we first need to examine whether it has any value. From a strictly practical perspective, on certain occasions violence appears to be useful. We can solve a problem quickly by force. But this success is often at the expense of the rights and welfare of others. Although one problem has been solved, the seed of another has been planted.
