“ You have the opportunity to create a better world , a happier world ,” said His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama , who delivered the keynote address to 25,000 UC San Diego graduates and their families at the university ’ s All Campus Commencement . His message to graduates centered on the power of compassion , the importance of emotional knowledge and the responsibility that younger generations have to make the world a better place .
“ You have the responsibility to create a better world — no longer violence , no longer this huge gap between rich and poor ,” he said . “ You can do that ; we elder people may not see that kind of world , but you can see and you can enjoy .”
