Narrative Concering Books Ethics for the New Millennium

In a difficult, uncertain time, it takes a person of great courage, such as the Dalai Lama, to give us hope. Regardless of the violence and cynicism we see on television and read about in the news, there is an argument to be made for basic human goodness. The number of people who spend their lives engaged in violence and dishonesty is tiny compared to the vast majority who would wish others only well. According to the Dalai Lama, our survival has depended and will continue to depend on our basic goodness. Ethics for the New Millennium presents a moral system based on universal rather than religious principles. Its ultimate goal is happiness for every individual, irrespective of religious beliefs. Though he himself a practicing Buddhist, the Dalai Lama's teachings and the moral compass that guides him can lead each and every one of us—Muslim, Christian, Jew, Buddhist, or atheist—to a happier, more fulfilling life.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama's newest book, The Wisdom of Compassion, is now available from Riverhead Books.

Judge Based On Books Ethics for the New Millennium

The Dalai Lama reaches past religious boundaries in this call for a new ethics practical for peoples of all beliefs, religious and secular. Although religions have provided ethical instruction in the past, they are losing their hold. Therefore we need an ethics which does not depend on religions, one which is at home in both religious and secular contexts. This he seeks to provide in Ethics for the New Millennium.To begin, the Dalai Lama urges the need to ground all actions in positive mental

This is one of the best surveys of Buddhist thought available for westerners. In his lovable style and simple, straightforward prose, His Holiness provides people of all walks of life with what they have always wanted... the key to happiness. Of all the books I have read by His Holiness the Dalai Lama this is the one that feels the most direct, not through an interpreter or narrator. Reading this is the next best thing to a conversation with the man himself. Also of note is that the practice

This has been just what I have needed over the past few months. Very refreshing and inspiring with gentle reminders.

In an ever expanding global community, resulting in the elimination or reduction of boundaries separating countries, economies, cultures and people, there is little doubt we need universal, or at least globally recognized ethics. Otherwise our future is likely to be marked by increasing tensions, divisions, conflict and even war between nations. Ethics for The New Millennium is a good start in trying to identify what a global system of ethics might look like. At the very least, another secular

I saw the Dali Lama speak at my university a few years ago and I found the same warmth, beauty, and positivity in his writing as he emitted in person. This book could also be called "Happiness for the New Millennium" or "Love for the New Millennium," as it delves into these subjects with dedication. Ethics, he argues, will only be possible when society as a whole learns the importance of love and compassion above all else. That is, when we have found true happiness. He ties our individual

What the Dalai Lama writes in this book really reflects a lot of my own personal philosophy. His main belief is that all humans want to find happiness and aviod suffering. The best way to do this is by living a life of love, compassion, patience, forgiveness, tolerance, and humility. He beleives that religious practice often cultivates these in our lives, but he argues that it is not NECESSARY to be an active participant in a religious practice to live an ethically grounded life. I find this

The most impressive thing about this book is that it came out in early 2001 - months before our nation underwent an unprecedented tragedy - and the Dalai Lama's message of a roadmap for peaceful coexistence in our world resonates just as powerfully today as it did in what Americans would consider more 'peaceful' days. I re-read this after 9/11 and felt like it was a handbook for the world's leaders to follow. I don't think any did - ours sure didn't - but the book also talks about our own
