Beyond Religion Ethics for a Whole World Dalai Lama Books Reviews

• The Dalai Lama does a fantastic book distinguishing ethics, morality, character and spiritualness in a way not tied to religion. How could such a prominent figure in the Buddhist faith not mention any swaying ideology to his faith and practice? Could the Pope right a book on how to be a good person outside of the realm of Catholicism? Regardless, he does it. A perfect distinction on living life similar to that of water (character/values) and tea (religion). One element you absolutely need to survive as a human, I'll let you guess which one it is ;) Overall, a good back that is also a quick read straight from the mouth of the Dalai Lama, himself. Although, I don wonder how royalties on this book deal or purchases work for him? I'm sure they go to the monastery -anyways that's another topic. Good read here!
• This is a simplified route to respect and coexisting with beautiful diversity. We are one people- HUMAN. Peace & understanding and simple tolerance could be achieved in our lifetime. Listen to this man. Read and head his words. If you don't find him brilliant, I'm thinking you need an attitude adjustment. Wonderful collection of invaluable thoughts...
• "So long as people give priority to material values, then injustice, corruption, inequity, intolerance, and greed—all the outward manifestations of neglect of inner values—will persist."
  
  The book quote suggests that we cannot sit by idly and must invest our love and care.
• The intention of this book is to cultivate human principles that are highly needed nowadays, and from my opinion the author made them clear and enjoyable to understand. I think everyone should check for themselves whether it makes sense or not.
  
  Again, we can find that mindfulness and meditation are the primary tools for human beings to remove delusions and misconceptions in our mind.
• Finally someone has said the obvious You don't need religion to do good deeds and love other other people. BRAVE Dalai Lama. Maybe it takes true enlightenment to state the obvious truth that the time for "religion" may have passed and humans may be ready to do good things simply because they help others to be successful and happy! This is a truly enlightened man who can realize even his own faith is no longer needed, but yet he has the wisdom to keep the wonderful, useful and sustaining knowledge behind it intact for the benefit of mankind.
• I wish all religious leaders were like the Dali Lama in that they are more concerned about the general state of the world, than with pushing their own religion. This book does not push for Buddhism, but for a more human (or humanistic) approach to live to better the world for everyone. I guess the fact that he doesn't have a grand office or a gold throne to sit on makes it easier for him to espouse humanity over promoting his own cause. It also seems that he is more well-traveled and had interacted with a larger slice of humanity than many other religious leaders.
  
  Worth the read.
• This is one of my favorite books of all times. Dalai Lama's approach to ethics as a system of values beyond any religion, for every human being, is something that resonates with me strongly. I had the honor of attending a public lecture by Dalai Lama on a closely related topic - ethics in education, and the book is a very nice continuation and expansion of that conversation. Highly recommend it to everyone.
• This is the third book I have read by the Dalai Lama. Each time, I'm kinda thinking... will this book really have anything new that I haven't read in the previous books? And then I discover that the answer is unequivocally... yes. This Dalai Lama is a thinker and spiritual leader who has added greatly to my understanding and appreciation of life.
