Preaching at the Buddha Stadium here, the Dalai Lama said that India's secular social structure had let all religions to flourish side by side.
He also spoke about the benefits of positivity that could attract friends, family and people nearer.

In the afternoon, the Dalai Lama delivered a public talk in the high school auditorium.
None could claim to be a true follower of any faith without first being a good human being, he said there.
The Dalai Lama said, "Education is a must today as it inculcates a sense of oneness and teaches one to forgive and forget the wrongdoings of others and brings positivity."
Later, the Dalai Lama and his entourage were accorded a rousing reception at Thupsung Dhargyelling monastery in Dirang.
