For the first time in history, the Dalai Lama read from and commented
on the Christian New Testament. His theme for the John Main Seminar
which was held in London in 1994 was "The Good Heart." The Seminar
consisted of various sessions or talks, panel discussions, and
workshops. His universal message is of the importance of love,
compassion and forgiveness: The Good Heart. In his sessions he
commented on various passages from Christian scriptures, giving the
small gathering a unique historical significance.
