The Dalai Lama speaks about the Four Noble Truths, maximizing your inner strength, dealing with anger and death, the power of compassion, the challenges facing humanity today (including globalization, warfare, environmental protection, overpopulation), and the great world religions' core tenets (as ...
I stayed up into the wee hours of the morning to finish this novel. I had intended to savor this novel, to read it slowly and reflect upon different sections as I read it but no, I couldn’t stop myself. Once I started reading, I was immersed into this wonderful reunion in which these two powerful in...
DNF @ 15% I mistakenly thought this was a book by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, who is listed as one of the authors - or the only authors in some book databases - but it is not. This book was written by Howard C. Cutler, a psychiatrist, who spent one week with the Dalai Lama, and then used his inte...
While not found on the cover, the subtitle of “The Power of Compassion” is, “A Collection of Lectures by His Holiness The XIV Dalai Lama” and this adds some clarity to the content of the book because the book is not exclusively related to the subject of compassion.

The thing about having to practice over time to attain spiritual awakening makes it hard for me to say whether I will really get it from what the Dalai Lama sets forth here.

The audio book recording of TAOH is very calming. I found myself re-listening to the sections on marriage and empathy while browsing produce isles and riding the bus. This book is a great introduction to the Buddhist doctrine, and good for mental health. Follow up with additional text from this list...
Amazing book I strongly recommend it It had been said that psychology of the east is religion of the westDo really I need god or Jesus teach me to be kind towards others ?! or take care of my own life ( physically and mentally ) do I really need religion to find happiness within it ?? lying on my se...
I love the Dalai Lama. Every time I hear him in an interview I smile from ear to ear, I can't help myself. But I have read several of his books and each and every one was difficult to get through. I listened to this audio, which helps me actually finish books like these, but I had a hard time focu...
