Beyond Religion

Worth reading each pages to spread peace and harmony to whole world. Enjoyed reading and gained lots of things

Nice Book

Good book

His Holiness the Dalai lama, expressed his immense experience and wisdom towards the benevolence of entire human society. I observed that His Holiness took extreme precaution on interpretation of modern scientific evidences (psychology, neurology, evolutionary biology and behavioral aspects of several organisms) and provided appropriate justification for the basic quality (compassion and love) that resides in each and every human heart. Further, His Holiness described the steps that required to move our life one step further using classical Buddhist tools without boasting himself or buddhism. His Holiness, perspective on impact of globalization on religions, race, ethics and morals aided me to understand the socio-dynamic problems (to some extent) that prevail in my country. Further, the possible solutions addressed or little steps provided by His Holiness certainly make a better way to live harmoniously. His Holiness, message on the necessity of Secular country or Secular thoughts with examples of Indian Subcontinent People is need of the hour. Ironically, His Holiness inference on the failure of scientific methodologies (after french revolution) to fulfill the spiritual needs and journey and transforming everything (almost) into material satisfaction aided me to understand my own shortcomings. I hope, this book will provide an answer for most of the burning questions in young minds or intellectual peoples whoever worried or think about the direction of human migration (as a whole). I recommend this book for all kind of people - religious, non-religious, spiritualist, atheistic, and individuals with nihilistic thoughts. His Holiness, idea / message on taking all good things from every corner into ourselves rather than expecting such thoughts from others will aid us to have a better nurtured niche within ourselves.

A must read

Liked, loved the book. The Dalai Lama's rich wisdom is a treasure. A keepsake book to return to, time and again.

Great

Page quality best👍👍and content of book is awesome good to read when a religious figure talk beyond religion 🙏🙏

Es ist ungemein wichtig, dass in einer Zeit, in der die größte Flüchtlingsbewegung jene aus religiös motivierten Krisenherden hin zu säkularen Ländern (in denen offensichtlich alles besser funktioniert und friedlicher ist) ist, jemand ausspricht: vielleicht ist es Zeit für ein Ende der Religion. Küng hat es mit seiner Initiative Weltethos versucht, blieb aber im Religiösen verhaftet.

Sinceramente, não sei se, desprovido de um background religioso e da minha grande admiração por Dalai Lama, eu tivesse ido até o fim deste livro. Na minha opinião, Dalai Lama não consegue desprender a proposta de uma 'ética secular (que acho possível) dos postulados religiosos, muito pelo contrário, até os alimenta. Principalmente na segunda parte do livro, o autor se prende muito a exercícios de concentração e de auto-controle que, se já são difíceis para uma pessoa de fé, imaginemos para uma pessoa sem nenhuma religião. O autor teria deixado mais a pensar se tivesse se contentado com a primeira parte do livro.

Another fine book by the Dalai Lama , this time addressing the need for secular ethics. Secular means worldly and lasting through the ages , so while respecting all religions , it is a call for the Human Race to come together for the betterment and survival of us all. Like all his books it is easy and comforting to read.

S.S. Dalai Lama afirma que en las actuales condiciones del mundo requerimos de una guía ética que nos ayude a direccionar nuestras acciones: tanto a nivel individual como social. Esta ética no debe estar fundamentada en valores religiosos, sino en nuestra conciencia de interdependencia entre todos los seres humanos, otros seres vivos y el ecosistema que habitamos. Este proyecto de ética sin religión: es fundamental para garantizar las relaciones humanas y la supervivencia como especie.

Excelente libro para cualquier persona, mas alla de sus creencias religiosas, valga la redundancia. Una guia con escasas pinceladas de budismo, aplicable mas alla del tiempo y lugar, ojala de aplicara con mayor cotidianeidad
