1
00:00:00.001 --> 00:00:04.685
Well I think with respect to
the effectiveness of nonviolence
2
00:00:04.710 --> 00:00:08.242
this really goes back to the Gandhi
notion of becoming the change
3
00:00:08.267 --> 00:00:09.792
you wish to promote.
4
00:00:09.877 --> 00:00:14.855
And it is exemplifying to others
5
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:18.597
the change that you
seek to make in others.
6
00:00:18.622 --> 00:00:22.667
And so by internalizing it,
by embodying it
7
00:00:22.692 --> 00:00:26.331
through contact with others,
through social learning
8
00:00:26.356 --> 00:00:29.857
through the power
that provides,
9
00:00:29.882 --> 00:00:32.757
there is a real opportunity
to promote change.
10
00:00:32.782 --> 00:00:36.708
And for example being around
his Holiness the Dalai Lama
11
00:00:36.733 --> 00:00:45.086
who has an extremely strong
conviction for non-violence
12
00:00:45.111 --> 00:00:52.258
you can sense the power of
his commitment to nonviolence
13
00:00:52.283 --> 00:00:54.242
by being in his presence.
14
00:00:54.267 --> 00:00:59.846
And you know it is internalized
to a very deep degree
15
00:00:59.871 --> 00:01:03.615
so that when he hears
about atrocities for example
16
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:08.398
that the Chinese may be
committing against Tibetans
17
00:01:08.593 --> 00:01:11.281
he doesn't get angry.
18
00:01:11.507 --> 00:01:17.070
And so there is no initial
provocation there.
19
00:01:17.095 --> 00:01:18.944
He is sad.
20
00:01:18.969 --> 00:01:27.656
He is just tremendously
saddened by the ignorance
21
00:01:27.681 --> 00:01:31.788
and the delusion that leads
to this but he's not angry.
22
00:01:32.474 --> 00:01:35.506
And that's something
really profound.
23
00:01:35.531 --> 00:01:38.186
And what it implies is that
24
00:01:38.211 --> 00:01:43.332
we all have the capability to
transform our minds in such a way
25
00:01:43.357 --> 00:01:48.734
that the initial internal
provocation is diminished.
