Dalai Lama's Little Book of Compassion

The Dalai Lama's Little Book of Compassion tells us that while suffering is a given, we can overcome it by taking the path of compassion. While life is hard, each of us can face problems on a daily basis that often seem overwhelming with self-love. In seven concise chapters, His Holiness explores the way of compassion by sharing his thoughts on contentment, joy, 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.

His Holiness 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. It is ideal for those interested in the spiritual insight of one of today's great teachers.
