[Dalai Lama:] It seems to me that the attraction the West has
felt toward Buddhism for some years now is tied in with two
particular notions, which have nothing spectacular about them, but
which are very deeply felt. The first is ahimsa, nonviolence,
which is gradually becoming an established force. The second is
the notion of interdependence,
which has been a part of Buddhist
thought from time immemorial.
