This limited edition white t-shirt is made from 100% pre-shrunk heavyweight cotton. It has been printed using the latest high performance digital printing technology, recognised for brightness and durability. This large styled unisex t-shirt is available in sizes, including M (12), L (14), XL (16), and 2XL (18).
The back of the t-shirt (see image at bottom of screen) features a significant quote from His Holiness the Dalai Lama which reads “If you contribute to other people’s happiness you will find the true meaning of life. The key point is to have a genuine sense of universal responsibility”. The Dalai Lama
The front of the t-shirt features the words ‘OUR FUTURE’ and ‘WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?’ It also displays a beautiful Earth Mandala, the logo of His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s visit to Australia in December 2009. This meditative symbol combines the classic Sanskrit ‘mandala’ (meaning circle), symbolising our centre and wholeness of self , the universe and its spiralling energies, and our connection to the community – with the powerful emblem of the planet Earth, reflective of His Holiness’ scheduled Public Talks this year.
His Holiness' Public Talks, and his Teachings on ‘Awakening the Mind’ are fundamental to the existence of us all, Buddhist or otherwise. His Holiness the Dalai Lama once said, on this subject;
“We are all brothers and sisters with the same mental and physical capacities, the same problems and the same needs. We must all contribute to the fulfilment of the human potential and the improvement of the quality of life as much as we are able.
We are also being drawn together by the grave problems we face; over population, dwindling natural resources and an environmental crisis that threatens our air, water, and trees, along with the vast number of beautiful life forms that are the very foundation of existence on this small planet we share.
I believe that to meet the challenge of our times, human beings will have to develop a greater sense of universal responsibility. Each of us must learn to work not just for his or her own self, family or nation, but for the benefit of all mankind.
Universal responsibility is the real key to human survival. It is the best foundation for world peace, the equitable use of natural resources and through concern for future generations, the proper care of the environment.” The Dalai Lama
When you wear your shirt bring enlightenment and awareness of owning responsibility to create our own future.
