oa New Reality: Peace and Universal Responsibility, according to the Dalai Lama

Humanity has entered an age of planetary consciousness and war is outdated. However we have not put an end to the cycle of violence, because we fail to understand our interdependencies and the need to focus on our inner humanity. Advocating a secular ethics beyond religion, the Dalai Lama reminds us, in his latest book New reality, that peace is the fruit of compassion. Following Gandhi’s principle : « Become the change you want for the world ! » he issues a Charter of Universal Responsibility, laying out a set of commitments for peace and the protection of all forms of life, human and non human.
