His Holiness the great 14th Dalai Lama

Here in America as a result of the inner and outer discordancy, we have the highest rate of domestic violence and substance use/abuse.

Being awash in toxicity, one can hardly see or think straight- this includes books and media which externalize and project causes of dissonance to “others”. Blessings and my your light shine within!
