Human rights & Freedom 人権と自由

"There are differences between us of faith and nationality and within those groups there are individuals who are rich and others who are poor; all of us have a right to live in peace. The idea of human rights is what freedom is about. It takes for granted the idea that human nature is gentle. This is why concern for the well-being of others makes us free." (From His Holiness the Dalai Lama's facebook on December 10, 2013)

私たちの間には信仰や国籍の違いがあり、そのグループ内でも裕福な人もいれば貧しい人もいますが、私たちは皆平和に生存する権利があります。人権の考え方は、自由とは何かということです。人間性は優しいものだという考えを当然のことと思っています。だから、他の幸福を思いやることが私たちを自由にしてくれるのです。(超訳)

Practice of compassion is the solution for making us free and happy.(My commentary)
