Tears just rolled down my cheek when poor Richard is being described about the sight of Dharamsala while in the moving taxi. He has a heart of gold. Respect to you, Richard la. Two best friends of Tibet share the same first name: More and Gere.

My son met Richard when he came to give a talk at my sons school, my sons only 10 but is fascinated by Richards story, he's going back to the school today with Charles the soldier that shot him and my son has been so excited! I think his interest stems from stories from my mother who's Irish and was caught up in an Ira bomb in the 70s! If Richard can forgive Charles I think it shows anyone can be forgiven! I'm glad he does talks at school as I think it's a very good lesson for children to learn x

I just met this man earlier today, he came to visit the school I go, and he gave us a crazy presentation about what happened

[@AlexJovel2000]

I actually got the chance to shake his hand :)

WONDERFUL HUMAN BEING

Very inspiring. This video moved me to tears. As the Buddha once said: " Having hatred in our hearts is like holding onto to a burning hot coal with the intention of throwing it at somebody, we are the ones who get burned! "

Self immolation due to total loss of the will for all earthly possessions and making an undeniable statement that forces doors to open in our minds shut.

Heartwarming

Despite being a hardened bastard, this story has me tearing up.

[@SkylarWooten-zh9gd]

You can see how Charles feels that remorse for hurting Richard. The way he talks is heavy, not joyful. You can see how the guilt has followed him. But, he let the Norwegian soldier be heard so they could understand each other. I love when the blinded boy says how his sight can be taken but not his vision.

[@patlindsay9324]

the pope would not do that love the dalai lama

[@kellylynn6328]

Charles you are so brilliant to understand that forgiveness sets you free ❤

[@thejourneyofhimalaya8407]

Respected you guys very very lucky.

[@diligentlight151]

Wonderful

[@tseringtsering8203]

charles is my hero.

[@mikemccormack8993]

Wow. Richard gives up hate and stones, and lives a life more fulfilling than most. "Little Billy" from the same documentary becomes a psycho and gets shot in Long Kesh...

Thank you. My sight is challenged with glaucoma but most difficult challenge is forgiveness around grandson's father dying from gunshot. This is a long process. It requires vision. We are not separate we humans. ❣️

[@mingchen3736]

= no true scotsman fallacy, the fact is Buddhist monks HAVE committed self-immolation. In Pali texts, Arahants self-immolate when the Buddha died. Also the sanskrit text speaking of the monk who achieved movable arahatship and fell out of Nirvana 6 times. When he attained Nirvana again he killed himself to make sure he wouldn't fall from Nirvana. Considering this & considering that Buddhists from MANY separate traditions have self-immolated you have no leg to stand on and claim such things.

[@bucketofbarnacles]

A beautiful story.

[@Hellsconsort]

Why you tar everyone with the same brush?

[@meocu3664]

wonderful

[@ktobs_draw]

Wow

[@dylanalan2890]

What a time-wasting. Better to work and give somethings to the humanity. Not eat without doing anything. Mr Lams has never worked a single day, and why is her holy?

[@PhurbuTashi-sd3nk]

Do good deeds and you will get good rewards. Who is wasting time? Stop making random comments because you don’t know anything.
