The Dalai Lama Stresses Science and Secularism in Jaipur


The New York Times reported an interesting story on the Dalai Lama.

From the story: “The Dalai Lama stressed the importance of secular ethics as the basis of Imagemoral teachings, as he said that morality based on religious teaching cannot be universal.”

He concluded his speech by saying, ““India’s constitution is based on secularism; secularism does not mean to disrespect religion,” he said. “Respect all religions but at the same time respect nonbelievers.”

I respect this man.
