description: An unprecedented 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 valuesTen years ago in his best-selling Ethics for a New Millennium His Holiness the Dalai Lama first proposed an approach to ethics based on universal rather than religious principles. Now in Beyond Religion the Dalai Lama at his most compassionate and outspoken elaborates and deepens his vision for the nonreligious way. 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. Beyond Religion 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.
