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 eithics 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.
