Abstract
The document contains the lecture of two special representatives of the Shambhala Mandala to the International Seminar on "Gross National Happiness and Development". In their speech they spoke about the basic requisites of an enlightened society and their interpretation of Gross National Happiness. They pointed out that every measure of progress of human development is based on values, because it raises the question "progress towards what?". Therefore, they emphasized that the measure of human development reflects the deepest social values, and in turn determines the policy agendas of governments and other institutions.
