About this title

Synopsis:

Timed to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the Dalai Lama teaching in America, this is a celebratory new revised edition of the very first book of teachings by the Dalai Lama in the English-speaking world. A warm and inspiring collection of talks, not limited to Buddhists or to the religious, the Dalai Lama's direct, practical message speaks to people everywhere of the importance of kindness, love, and compassion. His message of hope celebrates the indomitable human spirit and affirms the ever present potential for individual and social transformation. In the later chapters, the Dalai Lama elucidates on various Buddhist topics including the nature of phenomena, the luminous nature of the mind, deities, and transforming the mind through meditation. He concludes with a discourse on the basic meeting points between the Gelug and Nyingma schools, despite their use of different techniques to manifest the innate mind of clear light.

About the Author:
