“Ethics for the New Millennium” by
His Holiness the Dalai Lama
In a modern society characterized by insensitivity to violence,
ambivalence to the suffering of others, and a high-octane profit motive, is talk
of ethics anything more than a temporary salve for our collective conscience?
The Dalai Lama thinks so. In his Ethics for the New Millennium, the
exiled leader of the Tibetan people shows how the basic concerns of all people
-- happiness based in contentment, appeasement of suffering, forging meaningful
relationships -- can act as the foundation for a universal ethics. Like a
merging of the care and compassion of Jesus, the cool rationality of the Stoics,
the moral program of Ben Franklin, and the psychology of William James, Ethics
for the New Millennium is a plea for basic goodness.
