The Dalai Lama has stressed the theme of 'forgiveness' in a special message to the Korean people. A professor from Canada's British Columbia University currently visiting Seoul delivered the videotaped message from the Tibetan religious leader, which reportedly emphasizes 'forgiveness' as the most humane and peaceful way to resolve conflicts. Highlighting the unfortunate situation of the divided Koreas and the social divisions within South Korean society, the spiritual leader advised that in the present time, the practice of forgiveness is needed more than ever before.
