His Holiness the Dalai Lama is the spiritual and temporal leader of the Tibetan people. His tireless efforts
on behalf of human rights and world peace have brought him international recognition. He is a recipient of the
Wallenberg Award, the Albert Schweitzer Award, and the Nobel Peace Prize.
Summary
Here is a moral system based on universal rather than religious principles. Its ultimate goal is happiness for
every individual regardless of religious belief. Though the Dalai Lama is himself a practicing Buddhist, his approach
to life and the moral compass that guides him can lead each and every one of us--Muslim, Christian, Jew, or Atheist--to
a happier, more fulfilling life.
