»On some days I think it would be better if there were no religions. All religions and all scripture conceal the potential for violence. That is why we need secular ethics beyond all religions.« The Dalai Lama

In his appeal to the world, the Dalai Lama outlines a new form of secular ethics as the foundation of a peaceful century. The answer will come not from religions, but from people embracing ethics that surmounts differences.

A provocative and inspiring piece of writing by a humble and eminent man of our times.
