HH Dalai Lama tells Facebook Friends Religion is No Longer Adequate

On 9/10/12, the Dalai Lama said this to his friends on Facebook:

"All the world's major religions, with their emphasis on love, compassion, patience, tolerance, and forgiveness can and do promote inner values. But the reality of the world today is that grounding ethics in religion is no longer adequate. This is why I am increasingly convinced that the time has come to find a way of thinking about spirituality and ethics beyond religion altogether."
