Sometimes we see a sudden spurt of violence around us. This violence may be due to the inner state of people. The inner state could be a desire to have more money or a tall ego that people must listen to me. Also dissatisfaction, high expectations, low esteem.
Revered Saint Dalai Lama says if every 8-year old in the world is taught meditation, we will eliminate violence from the world within one generation.
Keep Meditating
