Beyond Religion

<p><b>An unprecedented literary event: a beloved world religious leader proposes a way to lead an ethical happy and spiritual life beyond religion and offers a program of mental training for cultivating key human values. <br/><br/></b>Over twenty years ago in his best-selling <i>Ethics for a New Millennium</i> His Holiness the Dalai Lama first proposed an approach to ethics based on universal rather than religious principles. In <i>Beyond Religion</i> the Dalai Lama at his most compassionate and outspoken elaborates and deepens his vision for the nonreligious way. <br/><br/>Transcending the mere “religion wars” he outlines a system of ethics for our shared world one that gives full respect to religion. With the highest level of spiritual and intellectual authority the Dalai Lama makes a stirring appeal for what he calls a “third way” a path to an ethical and happy life and to a global human community based on understanding and mutual respect. <br/><br/><i>Beyond Religion</i> is an essential statement from the Dalai Lama a blueprint for all those who may choose not to identify with a religious tradition yet still yearn for a life of spiritual fulfillment as they work for a better world.</p>
