"I see with ever before greater clarity our spiritual well-being relies not on faith, but on our innate individual dynamics, our natural affinity for goodness, compassion, and looking after others." (From An Charm to the World) Already a major international best owner, now available in British for the first time, in An Charm to the World, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet illuminates the best way to peace inside our time, arguing for a kind of universal ethics that runs beyond faith - values we all share as humans that can help us create unity and calmness to heal the world. "All people are united in the quest for enjoyment and the desire to avoid fighting," His Holiness reminds us. "This is the source of humanity's greatest accomplishments." Our development depends on assistance, not competition. We have to begin to think and react on "we humans" - we must stop focusing on what divides us and identify our commonalities. Without secular ethics - what Albert Schweitzer known as "reverence forever" - we cannot solve all the problems we face.

Making use of the techniques and teachings of Tibetan Buddhism - from hearing and contemplation to deep breathing and nonviolence - His Holiness provides a roadmap forward. Brief yet serious, An Charm to the World can be an inspiring meaning of love and optimism that can truly change the world.
