Dalai Lama: A Human Approach to World Peace, Gebunden

Klappentext

This beautiful keepsake edition of His Holiness’s classic essay is updated and expanded for today’s world, with a new foreword from Richard Gere and beautiful, intimate photographs of His Holiness.

A Call to Action

“We cannot create peace on paper. Compassion is the pillar of world peace … Hatred and fighting cannot bring happiness to anyone, not even to the winners. Violence always produces misery.

“We witness today how ethics and noble principles are obscured by the shadow of self-interests particularly in the political sphere. Politics devoid of ethics does not further human welfare, and life without morality reduces humans to the level of beasts. Dangerous consequences will follow when politicians and leaders forget moral principles.

“The responsibility of ensuring that this new twenty-first century becomes an era of dialogue and diplomacy, rather than one of war and bloodshed, belongs to us all.”

—His Holiness the Dalai Lama

Created to commemorate the occasion of His Holiness’s ninetieth birthday, this little book is a monument to honor a life spent ceaselessly calling for peace and tolerance, as well as a clarion call to all citizens of the world. As Richard Gere writes in the foreword, “The healing has begun if we want it."
