SOLAN: The Dalai Lama today said people's "mindless" pursuit of luxury in this era of globalisation was causing frustration and tension and asked everyone to devote some time in the service of humanity. "In the era of globalisation and modernisation people are forgetting their real goal which is causing frustration and tension in their day-to-day lives," the Tibetan spiritual leader said while delivering a religious speech here. "The objective of the people is confined to earning money and power by any means to enjoy luxuries and they are becoming selfish and self-centred in this mad run," he said. "I know people who have a lot of money but no peace of mind. And this is the reason they travel places in search of peace." He said at present teaching of Buddha was more relevant and one should follow the path shown by him years ago.
