Three Main Commitments of His Holiness the Dalai Lama
Firstly, on the level of a human being, His Holiness’ first commitment is the promotion of human values such as compassion, forgiveness, tolerance, contentment and self-discipline. All human beings are the same. We all want happiness and do not want suffering. Even people who do not believe in religion recognize the importance of these human values in making their life happier. His Holiness refers to these human values as secular ethics. He remains committed to talk about the importance of these human values and shares them with everyone he meets.
Secondly, on the level of a religious practitioner, His Holiness’ second commitment is the promotion of religious harmony and understanding among the world’s major religious traditions. Despite philosophical differences, all major world religions have the same potential to create good human beings. It is therefore important for all religious traditions to respect one another and recognize the value of each other’s respective traditions. As far as one truth, one religion is concerned, this is relevant on an individual level. However, for the community at large, several truths, several religions are necessary.
Thirdly, His Holiness is a Tibetan and carries the name of the ‘Dalai Lama’. Therefore, his third commitment is to work to preserve Tibets Buddhist culture, a culture of peace and non-violence.
His famous Quotes:
When you want something, the entire universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.
Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream.
Be brave. Take risks. Nothing can substitute experience.

Soul of the World
“Love is the force that transforms and improves the Soul of the World. When I first reached through it, I thought the soul of the world was perfect. But later, I could see that it was like other aspects if creation, and had its own passion and wars. It is we who nourish the Soul of the World, and the world we live in will be either better or worse, depending on whether we become better or worse. And that’s where the power of love comes in. Because when we love, we always strive to become better than we are” (150-151). In The Alchemist, the spiritual unity represented by the Soul of the World binds together all of nature, from human beings to desert sand. 
According to the novel, the Soul of the World has created a personal legend for everything, whether it be Santiago or a piece of iron. To accomplish its Personal Legend, each thing must learn to tap into the Soul of the World, which purifies it. This example of humans and all other things sharing the same goal demonstrates that all elements in nature are essentially different forms of a single spirit and that everything is written by the same hand, so all things are interconnected in a way.
The Soul of the world is a interconnection between all living things. Santiago believes that all things
were written by the same hand, so everything has a connection to another. Coelho was influenced by the religion of Pantheism, and that’s what caused this train of though in the novel. The word pantheism derives from the Greek word pan (all) and theos (God). So pantheism means All is God. Pantheism is the religious belief that Nature is divine and we humans are part of the One, interconnected whole. It is in realizing our connection to the One Universe that we find truth, spiritual fulfillment and solace. Pantheists usually deny the existence of a personal God and creationism (a separate God who created the world from nothing). The term pantheist— from which the word Pantheism was derived — was first used in English by Irish writer John Toland in his 1705 work "Socianism Truly Stated, by a pantheist". He clarified the idea in a 1710 letter to Gottfried Leibniz when he referred to "the pantheistic opinion of those who believe in no other eternal being but the universe". However, many earlier writers, schools of philosophy, and religious movements expressed pantheistic ideas. In 1785 a major controversy between critic Friedrich Jacobi and defender Moses Mendelssohn helped to spread awareness of Pantheism to many German thinkers in the late 18th and in the 19th century.
For a time during the 19th century Pantheism was the religious viewpoint of many leading writers and philosophers, attracting figures such as William Wordsworth and Samuel Coleridge in Britain; Johann Gottlieb Fichte, Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling and Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel in Germany; Walt Whitman, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau in the USA. However, in the 20th century Pantheism was sidelined by political ideologies such as Communism, by the traumatization of two world wars, and later by relativistic philosophies such as Existentialism and Post-Modernism. It persisted in eminent pantheists such as the novelist D. H. Lawrence, scientist Albert Einstein, poet Robinson Jeffers, architect Frank Lloyd Wright and historian Arnold Toynbee.
The Spiral shown in the shell and in the galaxy symbolize a connection between the cosmic physical and the biological. The spiral represents a variety of things: it means evolution, eternity, spirituality, and growth. This is one of the pictures used by the World Pantheist Movement.
