A Tibetan Buddhist Approach to International Relations : the Teaching of the Dalai Lama.
This monograph examines the theological paradigms within Buddhism, a religion that interacts with the world without narratives of genesis and eschatology. This book argues that there is a need to study and understand this interdependent relation between the religious and the secular political world.
