Personal Narrative: The Dalai Lama
The rate at which our world is deteriorating is quite frightening. Therefore, the notion of the human race having to settle a new world is not all that crazy. If I was to be one of the first pioneers of the newest frontier, I would have a difficult time deciding who I would choose to settle with me. For instance, to satisfy my own happiness, I would hastily assemble a group based upon my own emotions. But, to better the world and ensure future generations' self-sufficiency, I would ultimately choose to convene a sophisticated, qualified unit composed of a peaceful leader, a gifted doctor, and a brilliant environmentalist.
To settle the vast new planet, a peaceful leader would be needed to help teach the masses to live harmoniously together. For this purpose, I would appoint the fourteenth Dalai Lama to the position. So that warfare and hostile adversaries will not devastate our new home, the Dalai Lama could teach us peace, love, and unity. He could help prevent history from repeating itself on our new planet by tutoring the population on respecting ourselves, each other, and our shared home. In fact, for over seventy years, the Dalai Lama

As a result, a person retaining familiarity with space and engineering capabilities is required. I would ensure Elon Musk was our qualified director in that aspect. As an inventor, entrepreneur, engineer, investor, and concerned environmentalist, Musk is an integral part in today's world and should continue to be anywhere humankind may go. With his extreme interest in space and Martian habitation, Musk has developed rockets with plans to make Mars a habitable place for mankind. Even more, he has extended his influence in the revolution that is environmentally appreciative corporations. Elon Musk is the one who would be able to complete communities, provide stable food sources, and secure the future of the new world through eco-friendly

    I never thought how interesting it would be to visit a different place of worship besides Christianity. Since the day I was born I’ve been a Christian and whatever anyone else believes in is wrong and that they are going to hell if they don’t believe in Christianity. About 3 years ago I visited the International Buddhist Progress Society a Buddhist temple in Naperville. Buddhism from what I learned looks more like a way of life or guidelines to it rather than a religion. Buddhism tells you how you could live life better but doesn’t scare you with the prospect of hell instead you live with ignorance. My own history with Christianity still made me doubt or fear the conquences of going to this temple. Part of me believed that I be punished by…

    Have you ever wondered where you would be if you would have chosen another path? Have you ever wondered how that choice could have changed your life if you would have made it? Often I look back and think about my past and look at the places I have been and the things I have done. Some things I’m not proud of. Some of those things bring back vague memories. Whether they are good or bad they still come back to me. Everything we do is based upon choices. After we make those choices there comes consequences. We can never decide our consequences, they just come.…

    Upon comparing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Dalai Lama it becomes apparent that the two share many similar doctrines and beliefs. Although they come from two totally different backgrounds it seems as though their overall goals and dreams coincide. The most striking similarity is that both men advocated/advocate for peace and nonviolent solutions to problems. While they may have approached matters differently the goal was the same. Analyzing both men one begins to see that they are admired by so many people because of their philosophies.…

    Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream, he wanted all to be equal. He wanted no one to be ashamed of who they were. I have a dream that my America’s Got Talent audition went well and I get a call back. My dream has always been to be a professional singer like Ariana Grande or Beyoncé. I had been given an opportunity that I couldn't pass up. We were going to stay in a beautiful hotel, but we decided to stay home. We printed out my paperwork and went to sleep.…

    Stephen was selected to be part of an “expansion” project of the Church. The Church continued to get more and more converts and the Apostles needed more help. The apostles asked the disciples to choose seven of them amongst themselves to continue the works of the Apostles. Stephen was selected along with six others. Stephen started committing great works and signs for the people and this upset the Jews. Jews began to argue with Stephen, but Stephen had the Holy Spirit on his side so they couldn’t win a talking battle against him. Therefore, the angered Jews went and convinced people to say “We have heard Stephen speak blasphemous words against Moses and against God. Stephen was then brought to the Sanhedrin. He gave his speech to the Jews, but at the end he called the Jews “stiffnecked” people and rightfully accused them of persecuting many prophets. This angered the Sanhedrin and they sentenced him to death. They dragged Stephen out of the city and stoned him. Right before he died, Stephen said “Lord do not hold this sin against them”, he then died. Stephen was very significant because he was considered to be the first martyr.…

    I was in at Save-A-Lot a couple of weeks ago and while I was in line to check out, I overheard a lady talk about a man that was following her on the walking path behind my house. She was talking about how this man would follow her for a couple hundred feet then stop, completely strip down, and would start performing sexual acts on himself. She said that she doesn’t feel comfortable walking on the walking path anymore. We need to take action to stop these things from happening and make the walking path safer.…

    What is school? Is it learning knowledge that we’ve already established? Or is it learning new knowledge and looking for new knowledge to learn. I think that school shouldn’t be repeating our own knowledge over and over again, (except for equations, etc…) so that is why I picked the Dalai Lama. I hope that this won’t be just another paper that you have to read and grade and have to deal with, but that you will be able to get something out of this paper and be able to connect with other people by having knowledge about the fourteenth Dalai Lama and maybe a little bit about Buddhism.…

    ‘World peace must develop from inner peace. Peace is not just mere absence of violence. Peace is, I think, the manifestation of human compassion.’ Quoted by a man of peace, a man of many names, the Ocean of Wisdom, the Compassionate, the Presence, but mainly known as the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso was recognised as the reincarnation of his predecessor, the 13th Dalai Lama. The Dalai Lamas are believed to be the Bodhisattva Avalokite vara, a heavenly being that embodies the compassion of all Buddhas who have delayed their own nirvana and chosen to take rebirth in order to serve humanity.…

    Dalai Lama Characteristics

    The Dalai Lama is the temporal and spiritual leader of the Tibetan people; he received the Albert Schweitzer Humanitarian Award, the Raoul Wallenberg Congressional Human Rights Award and the Nobel Peace Prize. He is a man who embodies actions of peace. The Dalai Lama is a Buddhist and a guru; he is thought to be the reincarnation of a series of many spiritual leaders, chosen specifically to enlighten the lives of other humans. I am very inspired by his personality, role in society and actions. “How can we expect to find happiness and meaning in our lives when the modern world seems such an unhappy place?” says the Dalai Lama, in the book ‘the art of happiness in a troubled world’, by Howard C. Cutler. I agree with this statement: how can we embody actions of peace and be peaceful when our surroundings suffer from war all the time? People tend to analyze the negative things in their lives instead of focusing on the positive ones. I have chosen to write my essay about the Dalai Lama, of whom I am greatly inspired by; my reflections and opinions are based on his sayings and teachings.…

    People are like clay in the process of being sculpted, always changing and never be the same afterwards. We age, learn and grow everyday of our lives. Sometimes we experience events that change us in some way and we can look back on that event and recognize a difference before and after that moment. A life-changing experience that greatly contributed to forming the person I am today occurred during a three day confirmation retreat. I was born and raised Catholic, so it was expected that I would do Confirmation, and up until that point, I had been mostly passive about it before, seeing it as simply another after school activity.…
