SECULAR ETHICS: A WORKSHOP WITH YOUTH

WISCOMP conducted a workshop on Secular Ethics as part of the Foundation for Universal Responsibility of His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s 22nd Annual Gurukul Workshop in Dharamsala for a diverse group of university students from across India.

The workshop drew on the Dalai Lama’s vision of secular ethics to cultivate compassion and build empathy between people of different religions, nationalities and races. The discussions were premised on those human values and practices which, based on scientific research and empirical observations, have proved to be beneficial to the physical and psychological well-being of individuals.
