Dalai Lama's thought

Ahmed Shah, Dhanmondi, Dhaka
Dalai Lama turned 78 on July 6. He is not only a spiritual guide of his community but a great philosopher, rationalist and above all a humanist. He recently commented that, religion is no longer adequate for morality and ethics and suggested secular ethics for facing challenges of the changed world. He also called for the teaching of secular values in education saying that it was critical for the world to respect all religions as well as the right not to believe. I wish the number of people sharing his views would increase and thus bring peace and happiness in the world.
