Beyond Religion. Ethics for a Whole World

Mehr zum Buch

In his approach to moral guidance in an age of technological globalization and multicultural societies, the Dalai Lama argues that humanity does not need religion to lead a happy and ethical life. Ten years ago, he first proposed an approach to ethics based on universal rather than religious principles. Now, in Beyond Religion, the Dalai Lama elaborates and deepens his vision for the nonreligious way. Transcending the mere "religion wars," he outlines a system of secular ethics that gives tolerant respect to religion, while making a claim for what he calls "a third way." This book presents a system of secular ethics that transcends religion.
