A Call for Revolution by Dalai Lama XIV - 4 stars

[Anne ✨]

Written in 2017 by Dalai Lama XIV, it's a message for the youth of today, with insights on life, and a rallying cry for a Revolution of Compassion as the way forward for humanity. It's a quick read at 120 pages, with lots of insights.

At the end of the book he includes a Charter of Universal Responsibility - speaking to the big picture of life.

Excerpt from the charter:
At the heart of the cosmos: My genetic codes incorporate messages from the universe. I am linked to all living things....

At the heart of humanity: I am motivated to act for the good of all living beings purely by altruism, and by accepting my universal responsibility....

At the heart of the great peace of the natural world: I am aware of how I am being manipulated and instrumentalised by techno-economic culture, and of my obligation to embody the wisdom of universal responsibility, based on the power of truth and love...

Inspiring stuff for teens, inspiring stuff for all of us!
