Ethics and Enlightened Leadership
April 30, 2009

His Holiness the Dalai Lama spoke at an inaugural event for a new institute in his name, the 
Dalai Lama Center for Ethics and Transformative Values. He tempered his provocative ideas about 
promoting ethics in a secular society with a stream of lively banter. He recalled that he had 
visited a homeless shelter in San Francisco the other day and told a man he met that he, too, 
had suffered the same fate after he went into exile in 1959. "I said, 'me too. Homeless'."

"You could invent an injection for compassion, I would want that. And maybe commerce could 
contribute: you could have shops selling compassion. In a supermarket, you could buy compassion."

"We’re taking a step back, (trying) to re-imagine technologies so they’re built on the level of the 
community, not just on the level of the individual consumer. We imagine technologies will strengthen 
social bonds and empower communities."
