Secular ethics 非宗教的倫理

"We need values based on common sense, experience and scientific findings, what I refer to as secular ethics."
(From His Holiness the Dalai Lama's tweet on October 18, 2013)
Cf. https://twitter.com/DalaiLama/status/391133766288035840

私たちは、常識、共通経験、科学的研究結果に基づく価値が必要であり、私はそれを非宗教的倫理と呼んでいます。(超訳)

Secular ethics means universal reason like compassion, warm-heart, gentleness.  Therefore, secular ethics must be proved by common sense, common experience and scientific findings, beyond religions. Secular ethics is the source of individual happiness and world peace. (My commentary)
Cf. http://www.slideshare.net/compassion5151/universal-moral-ethics-9886065

非宗教的倫理は思いやり、温かい心、優しさのような普遍的理性を意味します。従って、非宗教的倫理は宗教を超えて、常識、共通の経験、科学的研究結果によって証明されなければなりません。非宗教的倫理は、個人の幸福と世界平和の源です。(解説)
