Dalai Lama's little book of compassion - Bstan-dzin-rgya-mtsho

Life is hard. Each of us face problems on a daily basis that often seem overwhelming and insoluble. However, insists the Dalai Lama, while suffering is a given, it does not have to be overwhelming. We "have the right to overcome suffering." The way out is rooted in the path of compassion.In seven concise chapters, His Holiness explores how the way of compassion relates to a variety of issues. Included here are his thoughts on contentment, joy, and living well, facing death, dealing with anger, giving and receiving, and the necessity of interfaith cooperation.In addition to these short essays on specific topics, the Dalai Lama candidly responds to questions from students from around the world. He offers profound insights into the current ecological crisis, the political problems in Tibet, the nature of suffering, and much more.This small hardcover is a charming gift for all occasions and a devotional gem, ideal for those interested in the spiritual insight of one of today's great teachers.

Tenzin Gyatso, His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama, is the exiled spiritual leader of the Tibetan people. He is widely recognised as an advocate of world peace and has received many honors, including the Nobel Peace Prize.
