HONOLULU (AP) – The Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama says people must promote the oneness of humanity.
He spoke Monday at Kualoa Park after blessing the Hokulea, a traditional voyaging canoe that is being prepared for an around-the-world trip.
Calvin Hoe welcomed the Dalai Lama as a representative of the district of Hakipuu where the ceremony was held. He told the visitor: "Your blood is our blood. Your bones are our bones. Our stories are intertwined."
The Dalai Lama called the words "wonderful."
He says people must promote the oneness of humanity, and once they do military forces will be of no use.
Monday was Dalai Lama’s last day of events in Hawaii. He arrived in Honolulu on Friday.
