Dalai Lama






We are social animals who need friends.
We need a community to survive.
Friends are made on the basis of trust, which only grows if you are kind to people.
Exploiting, cheating and bullying others will win you no friends.
Kindness and compassion gives rise to self confidence, which in turn empowers you to be honest, truthful and transparent.
This self-confidence brings peace of mind, which also favours good health.

We need to employ a secular approach to ethics, secular in the Indian sense of respecting all religious traditions and even the views of non-believers in an unbiased way.
Secular ethics rooted in scientific findings, common experience and common sense can easily be introduced into the secular education system.
If we can do that there is a real prospect of making this 21st century an era of peace and compassion.
