Dialogues on Universal Responsibility and Education

Dialogues on Universal Responsibility and Education is the result of two workshops held in New Delhi between His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama and a Group of India scholars, philosophers, teachers and social reformers. The concept of Universal Responsibility, which His Holiness the Dalai Lama often emphasizes the need for in our world, itself arises out of ancient Indian philosophy. Taking this concept as their basis, the participants of the first workshop discuss ways in which we may all work to bring about humanitarian change in our society. The second worship focuses on the role of education in effecting positive change: who the real educators are in society, what type of education is the most beneficial, and how we can ensure that young people grow into disciplined, broad-minded and caring adults in order to secure a positive future for all. The first book of its kind to be published by the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives, Dialogues on Universal Responsibility and Education offers a fascinating insight into the philosophical background of India and its transference to modern thought, as well as the practical wisdom of is Holiness the Dalai Lama.
