The Dalai Lama has devoted his entire lifetime to promote universal peace and religious harmony as encapsulated in his four principal commitments which are:

1. Promotion of universal and basic compassionate values to create a happier and more peaceful world based on the understanding that all of us are one and the same human beings.

2. Promotion of harmony among the world’s diverse religious traditions by emphasising the basic tenets of love, compassion, tolerance, and contentment present in all religious traditions.

3. Preserving the rich spiritual and cultural traditions of Tibet which has its roots in the Nalanda tradition of India, and conserving the fragile ecology of the Tibetan plateau that has a direct impact on the ecology of not just Asia but the entire world.

4. Reviving the wisdom and knowledge of ancient India such as the workings of the mind and emotions, and the practice of non-violence (Ahimsa) and compassion (Karuna) along with the development of modern education among the Indian youth.
