Buenos Aires, May 1 – Tibetan Spiritual leader the Dalai Lama continued his tour of South America with a stop in Argentinian capital, Buenos Aires.
“My belief is, transformation of human society, not by leaders, not by governments, but by the public from grass roots,” the Dalai Lama told a packed room of journalists and supporters at a news conference at the Sheraton Hotel.
The Dalai Lama will be delivering lectures on wisdom and compassion and science and spirituality during his tour.
The spiritual leader will also participate in a dialogue on Health and Spirituality, and in an inter-religious Prayer for Peace.
