The Dalai Lama. Hope Comes from the Heart. Hylton Murray- Philipson. The Ecologist en Español. July 2014

Source Text. The Dalai Lama. Hope Comes from the Heart. Hylton Murray- Philipson wonders what keeps the Dalai Lama going. By any standards, the Dalai Lama’s life has been extraordinary. The early challenges were unusual enough – as a toddler, Tenzin Gyatso was identified as the reincarnation of Chenrezig, the Buddha of Compassion. He relocated from his birthplace in eastern Tibet to the capital, Lhasa, was enthroned on 24 February 1940 as the 14th Dalai Lama, and embarked on years of intense study in Buddhist religion and philosophy. As religious and temporal leader of the world’s last theocratic state, his position amongst world leaders was already unique, but he was thrust centre stage in 1949 when China’s People’s Liberation Army invaded Tibet. Aged just 14, he was forced to lead his people into the darkest chapter in their long history.

Translation: El Dalai Lama. La esperanza viene del corazón. Hylton Murray- Philipson se pregunta qué hace seguir adelante al Dalai Lama. Se mire como se mire, la vida del Dalai Lama ha sido extraordinaria. Los primeros desafíos a los que se enfrentó ya fueron extraordinarios, siendo reconocido, en su primera infancia, como la reencarnación de Chenrezig, el Buda de la Compasión. Se trasladó entonces desde su lugar natal en el este de Tíbet hasta la capital, Lhasa, y el 24 de febrero de 1940 fue entronado como decimocuarto Dalai Lama comenzando así un largo recorrido de años de intenso estudio del budismo y de la filosofía. Como líder temporal y religioso del último estado teocrático, su situación, respecto a la de otros líderes mundiales, ya era única. No obstante, se convirtió en el centro de atención cuando en 1949 el Ejercito Popular de Liberación de China invadió Tíbet. Con apenas catorce años se vio obligado a liderar a su pueblo en un viaje hacia el capítulo más oscuro de su larga historia. Destination English webpage. http://www.destinationenglish.com

Source Text So far, western countries have done a pretty poor job addressing climate change as an inequality issue. Rich countries promised $100 billion per year to help poor countries deal with the consequences of global warming, but most of the money hasn't been materialized. Any serious attempt to mitigate global warming would have to involve all the major emitters — not just the United States, but Europe, China, India, and so forth.

Translation Hasta este momento, en Occidente poco se ha hecho para abordar el cambio climático como un problema de desigualdades. Los países ricos prometieron 100 mil millones de dólares anuales para ayudar a los países pobres a afrontar las consecuencias del calentamiento global, pero la mayor parte de este dinero no se ha materializado. Cualquier intento serio de mitigar el calentamiento global debería involucrar a los principales emisores, no solamente a los Estados Unidos, sino también a Europa, China, India y otros.
