I am not an economist, but it is difficult for a common man to understand how market forces can be beyond human control, because markets are the creation of human beings themselves," Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, said at a press conference. In his view, the economic crisis was the result of unlimited greed, a lack of transparency and lies. The Dalai Lama opined that spirituality has the power to teach containment, truthfulness, honesty and morality.
Stressing that media has a very important role to play in the given situation, he said, "We write as if there is no future but it is also important to show that 'yes', there is a future". Media must play a more positive role in making and shaping the world.
