Dalai Lama brings message of peace to Glastonbury

Glastonbury: The Dalai Lama made his first appearance at Glastonbury on Sunday, spending an hour in the rain addressing festival-goers on how the world could be a happier place.
The Tibetan spiritual leader called for a more “holistic education” from kindergarten to university, which “should bring a sense of care” and help “promote human love.”
“Everyone has the right to achieve a happy life,” he told hundreds gathered at the Greenfield site, an area of calm away from the madness of the main music stages.
The elderly Buddhist monk hailed the “full joy” of the revelers present, and got into the spirit himself by wearing a Glastonbury t-shirt on his head against the rain.
He was treated to a rendition of “Happy Birthday” by the crowd in honor of his 80th year, and urged them to “think seriously about how to create a happy world, a happy 21st century — that’s the best gift for me.”
The Nobel Peace Prize winner expressed dismay at ongoing violence in Syria, Iraq, Nigeria and elsewhere, saying it was “our own creation” and warning: “The killing of human beings by human beings is the worse thing.”
