Invited to the University of Portland, Oregon, to give a speech to students about the universe and the place of man in such a vast space, the Dalai Lama turned to the topic of aliens. The speech caused shock, especially since it was a speech by one of the leaders of humanity, since, as is well known, individuals of this magnitude for various reasons avoid this topic.
The spiritual leader had the opportunity to tell students and not only them that the great encounter with an extraterrestrial civilization is not so far away. His ideas were truly shocking, because he urged students to be prepared for the moment when they recognize guests from other galaxies, writes efemeride.ro.
“In the end, we will receive visitors from another galaxy. These are the same people. Maybe slightly different in appearance, but essentially the same. The same sentient beings. We must understand that aliens are beings who feel things the same way we do, even if they are different in appearance,”the Dalai Lama said.
The purpose of this speech was to emphasize that, regardless of the physical appearance of aliens, they are beings with the same feelings as us. This fact also contains a warning that they must be treated with kindness, even if they look very different. The Dalai Lama's indication that the moment of meeting will be a shock for most people is also interesting, because the appearance of these intelligent beings can be traumatic.
Thus, we can say that for the first time humanity is ready for a moment that will change its life from all points of view. Such a meeting requires responsibility and, in a sense, a change in outlook on life. No one can say for sure when this meeting will take place. Perhaps when humanity is ready, and that willingness involves many things.
