Attitude

In his book Ethics for the New Millennium, His Holiness The Dalai Lama calls for a spiritual revolution very similar to what I describe in my book, a fundamental shift in attitude. He suggests "Spirituality I take to be concerned with those attitudes of the human spirit----such as love and compassion, patience, tolerance, forgiveness, contentment, a sense of responsibility, a sense of harmony----which bring happiness to self and others.......Thus spiritual practice according to this description involves, on the one hand, acting out of concern for others’ well being. On the other hand it entails transforming ourselves so that we become more readily disposed to do so." He emphasizes the way we treat each other, while I include the entire planet, but the approach is similar.
