________________ of reasons, but none of which can be considered morally justifiable. There is nothing ethical about the imprisonment and murder of a sensient being. Meat and dairy not only contributes to animal abuse, but hurts humans as well". H.H Dalai Lama on November 22, 2014 at Hindu conference in India Dalai Lama credited India for all the knowledge that Tibet and Buddhists have, but said, "Ancient India was our guru. Not modern India, it is too westernized ... It is not enough to carry on puja and rituals. This nation produced great thinkers. Now in every corner there is a temple. But places where one can thinkor discuss are rare. India should remember and reinforce its great tradition of tolerance and religious harmony and think about why it has more temples than centers of learning. He also said India should aim to form "India Towns" across the world where they must open culture centers instead of temples and "talk about ahimsa and religious harmony"...... It is my unshakable belief that India's destiny is to deliver the message of nonviolence to mankind. M. K. Gandhi MAHATMA, Vol. 4, p. 4 328 An Ahimsa Crisis: You Decide
