Dalai Lama

"Freedom in Exile" was one of the first books to introduce me to the Buddhist religion, even more the book is the presentation of the Dalai Lama's first years of life, through the eyes of the mature man; still the text is abundant in childish jokes, making this one of the best autobiographies I have read so far.

"Ethics for the New Millennium" is an approach to the tough subject of ethics through the eyes of the Dalai Lama. I would silly-interpret the main idea as follows "an ethic action is an action that makes the vast majority of people happy". Quite difficult I presume to measure the happiness of the people around us, when taking an action; never the less interesting enough, the theories seem quite similar with what I found about Jeremy Bentham's utilitarian writings; I will investigate more on the topics.
