Synopsis
In this challenging collection of the Dalai Lama's wisdom, the religious leader reflects on suffering, happiness, love, and truth, and emphasises the need to transform the human mind if we are to find real fulfilment. His Holiness the Dalai Lama was born in 1935, and enthroned as the reincarnation of the thirteenth Dalai Lama in 1940. Following the suppression of the Tibetan national uprising in 1959, he escaped to India where he was given political asylum. At the heart of all the Dalai Lama's teaching is the plea for compassion and non-violence, the essential goodness of the human heart, and the need to live well and die well.

From the Publisher
In this challenging collection of writings, the spiritual head of Tibetan Buddhism, and one of the great spiritual leaders of our time, reflects on suffering, happiness, love, truth, and fulfillment. At the heart of his teachings is the plea for compassion and non-violence, the essential goodness of the human heart, and the need to live and die well. This anthology reflects the breadth of his teaching but also its utter simplicity, making it both an ideal introduction and an inspiring companion. His Holiness the Dalai Lama was born in 1935; at the age of two, he was recognized as the reincarnation of the thirteenth Dalai Lama. In accordance with Buddhist tradition, he was enthroned at Lhasa, in 1940. His later efforts to bring about a peaceful solution to the Sino-Tibetan problem were ultimately thwarted, and in 1959, the Dalai Lama was given political asylum in India. In 1989, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
