Compassion and Wisdom Tibetan Buddhism is recognized as one of the primary forms of Buddhist practice, and is presently practiced by people in many parts of the world. The popularity of Tibetan Buddhist practice is due largely to the work of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet. The Dalai Lama engenders the teachings of the Buddha which include tolerance, compassion, wisdom, and meditation. Another fundamental aspect of the teachings of the Buddha is the concept of interdependence. The Buddha said that because we are all fundamentally inter-connected, none of us can truly be free from suffering as long as there are others suffering. Therefore, violence towards other human beings is considered to be one of the fundamental causes of suffering by all human beings. Only by cultivating compassion and tolerance can world peace truly be realized. This section of Xizang Zhiye includes religious, philosophical, and spiritual information.
