Actually it would be a good experience for people to be a monk or nun for a while, and experience the blessings of celibacy. Unfortunately the Tibetan Sangha does not allow people to be ordained temporarily. It is possible in Thailand, though, where many people find a new way in their life through this temporary ordination.

Let's all live together in peace! It has been said many times before, but up to now nobody has been able to realize it. Why the Dalai Lama can say this, and realize it, then? Well, because he is a (celibate) monk. As such, a member of the Sangha, he is robed, sheltered and fed by the collective. He has no reason to fight for clothing, shelter, food, nor for money, sex and reputation ('ego').

The big question is why in the rich part of this planet people soon loose their abilitiy to respect anyone & anything, and live their life like mosquitos. The bigger question is what to do with them so that they could manage do get experiences that improves these abilities. The biggest question is what to do with cruelty that wants "eat" or life in any case. I am sure that our survival is depends on "victims responsibility to be shown", ......but up to this time I could not reach the solution.
