His Holiness’ Message for the New Year - 2024 On the occasion of the New Year, I would like to thank everyone who has sent me good wishes, and I offer my greetings to you all, brothers and sisters across the world. Despite the many challenges that we are facing today, I feel optimistic that with a growing appreciation of how interconnected we all are in the oneness of humanity, we can all work to lead more meaningful lives and create a better world. As human beings we share a common wish to be happy and free from pain. We are social animals who depend on others to survive. Therefore, as I often say, we should work for the benefit of others. If we cannot help them, we should at least make sure we do no harm. I have found that helping others is the best way of ensuring happiness and calm for ourselves. I also firmly believe that we can find peace in the world only when we find peace within. Every human being has the potential to cultivate inner peace, and by so doing to contribute to the peace of our global community. We must try to cultivate compassion and inner peace, regardless of our nationality or religion, we can contribute to the well-being and happiness of all mankind. If the last century was the century of violence, it is our responsibility to make this century the century of dialogue. Once again, I extend warm greetings to you all. I hope that you all enjoy an auspicious beginning to the new year, 2024. With prayers and good wishes, Dalai Lama

The Kiley Center will be renovated and expanded for the new Boys and Girls Club as part of the DRI projects. The Boys and Girls Club is working on a leasing agreement with the Kiley Center for the use of the space.

The Boys and Girls Club is still coming to Peekskill with a projected opening date of late 2024/early 2025.

I am proud to report that S6893 has just unanimously passed the @NYSenate. This will make it illegal to dump radiological waste water into the Hudson and protect the economic vitality of the region. Thank you to all of the incredible advocates who helped make this possible.

David Crosby’s final tweets were praising Greta Thunberg and Paul McCartney and shitting on Republicans. Godspeed 🫡

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence. It took time. #GenocidePreventionDay

When we think about fear, there are two types, legitimate fear for which there is some valid basis and fear that is rooted in our mental projections. There’s a Tibetan saying that if you let your mind run wild, you’ll see a robber in an empty house.

When you think of others, you no longer think only of yourself. When we face problems, we can use our intelligence to overcome them. We have to tell ourselves, ‘I’m a human being and I’m not alone’. We need never feel hopeless.

Democracy is worth the wait. Thank you, Arizona. I am so honored and so proud to be your next Governor.

So the Democrats hold the Senate. In other news, apparently the red wave has crashed against the rocks of reality.
