The Dalai Lama is in the state to take part in the 1st Convocation of Central University of Jammu that is scheduled to be held on March 18, 2018 at General Zorawar Singh Auditorium, University of Jammu.
Speaking on the occasion, the Dalai Lama said that ‘mentally, physically, emotionally, human beings are same everywhere. Everybody wants happiness, joyfulness; the foundation to this happiness is peace of mind’.
In his message to the people of J&K, the Dalai Lama said that ‘I want to express special greetings and prayers for people of the state. We should always keep peace of mind and should not let anger overtake us.
