How should spiritual leaders share their knowledge with the world?

Length: 2 min.

Tibetan Buddhist leader His Holiness the Seventeenth Gyalwang Karmapa suggests that spiritual leaders connect to the general public. Rather than connecting solely to their own groups of students, the Karmapa says spiritual leaders must reach beyond them to engage the larger population, and asserts that transmission of spiritual power happens through conscious, positive human relationships formed with the intention of benefiting the entire human family.
