00:00:00.001 --> 00:00:04.390
That's true that we are now
in a crisis of civilization.
2
00:00:04.866 --> 00:00:10.429
And crisis of civilization
provokes three symptoms
3
00:00:10.584 --> 00:00:14.492
according to Victor Frankl who
is a psychoanalyst in Auschwitz.
4
00:00:14.659 --> 00:00:18.031
And when he got out of Auschwitz,
5
00:00:18.056 --> 00:00:21.227
he had the diagnosis
of crisis of civilization.
6
00:00:21.252 --> 00:00:25.015
And he told the three
symptoms are depression,
7
00:00:25.040 --> 00:00:27.695
aggression and addiction.
8
00:00:28.206 --> 00:00:32.992
This is called the existential void.
9
00:00:33.242 --> 00:00:40.202
And this void is a catastrophical
fall for the society
10
00:00:40.227 --> 00:00:42.888
because people take any pleasure,
11
00:00:42.913 --> 00:00:46.318
any satisfaction,
whatever they are, they have.
12
00:00:46.343 --> 00:00:48.850
Spirituality is the answer of course
13
00:00:49.105 --> 00:00:53.147
because if you are
looking for the meaning
14
00:00:53.172 --> 00:00:58.162
you are not in the civilization
of taking and having.
15
00:00:58.471 --> 00:01:00.959
The civilization, the most adult,
16
00:01:00.984 --> 00:01:06.710
the most evaluate civilization
is not to have but to be
17
00:01:06.735 --> 00:01:08.952
and not to take but to give.
18
00:01:09.417 --> 00:01:11.608
That's why we have some work
19
00:01:11.765 --> 00:01:15.038
in our world to improve
the civilization.
20
00:01:15.063 --> 00:01:20.425
But the Dalai Lama is quite
precise on this point.
21
00:01:20.450 --> 00:01:25.272
He is thinking that we need
to spiritualize the world
22
00:01:25.297 --> 00:01:27.576
if you want to globalize the world.
23
00:01:27.601 --> 00:01:30.749
No globalization
without spiritualization.
24
00:01:31.232 --> 00:01:35.436
And his last book is Beyond Religion
25
00:01:36.095 --> 00:01:39.920
going the way of
the natural need of people.
26
00:01:40.075 --> 00:01:44.218
This is a beautiful
project for mankind.
