“In today’s materialistic world there is a risk of people becoming slaves to money, as though they were simply cogs in a huge money-making machine. This does nothing for human dignity, freedom, and genuine well-being. Wealth should serve humanity, and not the other way around.”
His Holiness the great 14th Dalai Lama

Ethics
“When each of us learns to appreciate the critical importance of ethics and makes inner values like compassion and patience an integral part of our basic outlook on life, the effects will be far-reaching.”
His Holiness the great 14th Dalai Lama
Universal Values
“In the modern world, where the pursuit of money is considered more important than the cultivation of inner values, a fresh approach is required to incorporate secular ethics or universal values into the system of education.”
His Holiness the great 14th Dalai Lama
Ethics
“Ethics are not a collection of commandments and prohibitions to abide by, but a natural inner offering that can bring happiness and satisfaction to ourselves and others.”
His Holiness the great 14th Dalai Lama
