In order to carry a positive action we must develop here a positive vision.

The quote links ethical or constructive behavior (“positive action”) to an antecedent inner orientation (“positive vision”). In the Dalai Lama’s broader public teaching, this typically means that lasting compassion, nonviolence, and resilience are not sustained by willpower alone but by a cultivated outlook—an intention shaped by reflection, empathy, and awareness of interdependence. “Vision” here is less a concrete plan than a mental frame: how one interprets others’ motives, one’s own suffering, and the possibility of change. The statement implies that social or personal transformation begins internally; by training perception and motivation, one makes beneficial action more natural and consistent.
