Ethics For The New Millennium by Dalai Lama (Paperback)

In times of adversity and uncertainty, individuals like the Dalai Lama exemplify great courage by offering us hope. Despite the prevalence of violence and cynicism depicted in the media, there is a compelling case to be made for the inherent goodness within humanity. The small fraction of individuals engaged in acts of violence and dishonesty pales compared to the vast majority who genuinely wish well for others. According to the Dalai Lama, our survival has historically depended on, and will continue to rely on, our fundamental goodness.

In “Ethics for the New Millennium,” the Dalai Lama presents a moral framework rooted in universal principles rather than specific religious doctrines. The ultimate objective of this ethical system is to promote happiness for every individual, regardless of their religious affiliations. While the Dalai Lama is a devout Buddhist, his teachings and the moral compass guiding him can lead anyone—Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, or atheist—towards a more joyful and meaningful life.
