About the book:
Authors: Dalai Lama - Franz Alt
The Dalai Lama's call to the world: "Ethics is more important than religion."
This is an astonishing claim from the leader of a religion. And yet this is what the Dalai Lama's call is about. And since he says it, we cannot ignore his word.
What makes what the Dalai Lama represents acceptable and believable? He lives his own religion convincingly. But he doesn't recruit. He doesn't want to convince you. It represents the general human. He does not make an artificially separate world out of the sacred and the sacred, but considers the real world as holy, sacred, close to God. The more human, the more real, the more holy, the more divine for life. Therefore, he claims that ethics and our behavior are more important than the laws and customs of religion.
Before we take a stand, before we take his truth away from him, before we defend our religion against him, let's read his answers…. (Péter Mustó SJ).
Details from the book:
However, it is increasingly clear to me that our spiritual well-being does not depend on religion, but on our innate human nature, our natural inclination to goodness, compassion and care. Regardless of whether we belong to a religion or not, we all have an elemental and human source of ethics within us. We must nurture and care for this common ethical foundation. (…)
The basis of human coexistence is compassion. I believe that human development is based on cooperation, not competition. (…)
We must now learn that humanity is one family. (…) But we still focus too much on the differences, not on what unites us. Yet we are all born the same and die the same.
