He thanked the members of the Parliament for their support and stressed the importance to continue the special friendship between the Hessen people and the Tibetans.

Then he emphasized the importance of compassion and needs for more female leaders in politics. His Holiness said more female politicians will be good for the society, as the female instincts are more compassionate than men.

In the morning, His Holiness addressed over 100 people - many of them were social workers. He spoke on How to live a meaningful life.

Then he met with 70 Chinese scholars, journalist and democracy advocates from five countries in Europe.

His Holiness began his address by saying, “My Chinese friends, Mongolian and Uyghur friends, I am happy to meet you all today.”

The meeting provided an opportunity for the Chinese friends to ask questions and clarify misunderstandings, he said.

China has various minorities and His Holiness said every effort must be made for a harmonious relationship amongst the minorities. However, repression creates greater grievances.

For harmonious relationship acceptance of truth is very important and critical. For friendship to last, there must be confidence and transparency, he said.

Referring to the Tibetan issue, His Holiness the Dalai Lama said that China does not seem to be willing to resolve the Tibetan issue.

“We are not seeking independence but autonomy. It would be helpful for the mainland people to hear this,” he said.

The challenge that Buddhism faces today is not with the dharma itself, the Buddha's teaching - as the timeless message embedded in the Four Noble Truths maintains its validity - but how to present this ancient teaching as a meaningful alternative to the young who have been shaped by the values of the consumer society. There is a new era of technological innovation sweeping the world, which has spawned a new medium - the Internet's world wide web, a very powerful communications network and learning environment. The Internet should not be seen as just a new way to disseminating or repackage the Buddha's teachings but potentially as a base for an innovative online dharma community - a Cyber Sangha, that offers alternative social and spiritual values.
