The Dalai Lama - His Essential Wisdom by Carol Kelly-Gangi
One of the world's foremost spiritual leaders, His Holiness the Dalai Lama has traveled the glove to spread his undying message of compassion, love, peace, and kindness for close to half a century. The Dalai Lama: His Essential Wisdom is a collection of hundreds of inspiring quotations from His Holiness. The selections are drawn largely from his writings, teachings, interviews, speeches, and other statements made during the course of his more than forty-eight years as the exiled spiritual leader of the Tibetan people. In these excerpts, the Dalai Lama reflects with wisdom that is both profound and down-to-earth upon the need for compassion and kindness, the search for happiness, the way to peace, the meaning of pain and suffering, the role of religion, the power of meditation, and the challenges of life in the modern world. In other selections, His Holiness recalls his singular childhood, the turmoil surrounding the Communist takeover of Tibet, and his life as the exiled spiritual leader of millions of Tibetans. Brimming with warmth, humor, and practical advice, the selections gathered here powerfully illuminate why His Holiness the Dalai Lama is beloved the world over for his timeless wisdom for all humanity.
