[Italian] - Amiamo il pianeta

"In tempi di riscaldamento globale, estinzione delle specie e crescente emergenza idrica sul nostro pianeta, particolarmente importanti sono i valori della cooperazione internazionale e della 'responsabilità universale', che il Dalai Lama chiede di abbracciare sempre più urgentemente. In questo libro, come mai prima d'ora, esorta i politici ad agire con determinazione dopo più di venti conferenze internazionali sul clima. Il Dalai Lama pensa di trasformare il suo Paese d'origine, il Tibet, nella più grande riserva naturale del mondo, in conformità con l'antica tradizione buddista tibetana: 'Il Tibet deve e può diventare un santuario smilitarizzato di pace e natura'. Perché 'la tecnologia da sola non basterà a salvarci', scrive Franz Alt. 'Soltanto unendo etica e tecnologia in una nuova responsabilità morale riusciremo forse a scongiurare il peggio. Tutti i problemi causati dall'uomo possono anche essere risolti dall'uomo.' © 2021 Giunti Editore S.p.A./Giunti"

Our Only Home: A Climate Appeal to the World

"Bloomsbury presents Our Only Home by The Dalai Lama, read by Brian Nishii and Angelo Di Loreto. Saving the environment is our collective duty. With each passing day, climate change is causing Pacific islands to disappear into the sea, accelerating the extinction of species at alarming proportions and aggravating a water shortage that has affected the entire European continent. In short, climate change can no longer be denied – it threatens our existence on earth. In this inspiring new book, the Dalai Lama, one of the most influential figures of our time, calls on political decision-makers to finally fight against deadlock and ignorance on this issue. He argues that we all need to stand up for a different and more climate-friendly world, and to allow the younger generation to assert their right to regain their future. From the voice of the beloved world religious leader comes this eye-opening manifesto that empowers the generation of today to step up, take action and protect our world.

An Appeal to the World: The Way to Peace in a Time of Division

"Includes exclusive bonus audio of the voice of the Dalai Lama as coauthor Franz Alt asks about his views on President Trump, the rise of nationalism, the refugee crisis, the climate catastrophe, and more. In this brief, urgent ''appeal to the world,'' His Holiness the Dalai Lama addresses our time of division, calling on us to draw upon the innate goodness of our shared humanity to overcome the rancor, mistrust, and divisiveness that threaten world peace and sustainability. 　 ''I see with ever greater clarity that our spiritual well-being depends not on religion, but on our innate human nature, our natural affinity for goodness, compassion, and caring for others.''—from An Appeal to the World Already a major international bestseller, now available in English for the first time: In An Appeal to the World, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet illuminates the way to peace in our time, arguing for a form of universal ethics that goes beyond religion—values we all share as humans that can help us create unity and peace to heal our world. ''All people are united in the pursuit of happiness and the desire to avoid suffering,'' His Holiness reminds us. ''This is the source of humanity’s greatest achievements.'' Our development relies on cooperation, not competition. We need to begin to think and act on ''we humans''—we must stop focusing on what divides us and recognize our commonalities. Without secular ethics—what Albert Schweitzer referred to as ''reverence for life''—we cannot solve all the problems we face. Working with trusted collaborator Franz Alt, the Dalai Lama calls on the better angels of our nature to tackle a wide range of contemporary issues, from war, violence, and intolerance to climate change, global hunger, and materialism. Applying the techniques and teachings of Tibetan Buddhism—from listening and contemplation to meditation and nonviolence—His Holiness provides a roadmap forward. Brief yet profound, An Appeal to the World is an inspiring message of love and optimism that can truly change the world."

[German] - Der Appell des Dalai Lama an die Welt - Ethik ist wichtiger als Religion (Ungekürzte Lesung)

"In seinem Appell an die Welt entwirft der Dalai Lama eine neue säkulare Ethik als Basis für ein friedliches Jahrhundert. Nicht Religionen werden die Antwort geben, sondern die Verwurzelung des Menschen in einer Unterschiede überwindenden Ethik. Ein herausfordernder wie mutmachender Text eines bescheidenen wie bedeutenden Mannes unserer Zeit."
