Each one of us is responsible for all of humankind, and for the
environment in which we live. . . . We must seek to lessen the
suffering of others. Rather than working solely to acquire wealth,
we need to do something meaningful, something seriously directed
toward the welfare of humanity as a whole. To do this, you need to
recognize that the whole world is part of you. --from "How to Be
Compassionate"
The surest path to true happiness lies in being intimately
concerned with the welfare of others. Or, as His Holiness the Dalai
Lama would say, in "compassion."
In "How to Be Compassionate, "His Holiness reveals basic mistakes
of attitude that lead us to inner turmoil, and how we can correct
them to achieve a better tomorrow. He demonstrates precisely how
opening our hearts and minds to other people is the best way to
overcome the misguided ideas that are at the root of all our
problems. He shows us how compassion can be a continuous wellspring
of happiness in our own lives and how our newfound happiness can
extend outward from us in ever wider and wider circles.
As we become more compassionate human beings, our friends, family,
neighbors, loved ones--and even our enemies--will find themselves
less frequently in the thrall of destructive emotions like anger,
jealousy, and fear, prompting them to become more warmhearted,
kind, and harmonious forces within their own circles. With simple
language and startling clarity, His Holiness makes evident as never
before that the path to global harmony begins in the hearts of
individual women and men. Enlivened by personal anecdotes and
intimate accounts of the Dalai Lama's experiences as a student,
thinker, political leader, and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, "How to
Be Compassionate "gives seekers of all faiths the keys to
overcoming anger, hatred, and selfishness-- the primary obstacles
to happiness--and to becoming agents of positive transformation in
our communities and the world at large.
Gerrie Radlof se gewilde Oloff die Seerowerreeks is oorspronklik
tussen 1957 en 1961 uitgegee en het daarna reeds vier uitgawes
beleef. Die verhale, wat in die 1740's afspeel aan die Kaap de
Goede Hoop en die seewee daarom heen, is verwerk om aan te pas by
die moderne taalgebruik en aan te sluit by die hedendaagse tiener,
maar niks van die oorspronklike sjarme en spanning het in die
verwerking verlore gegaan nie. Ook geskik as leesstof vir Afrikaans
tweede taal vir ouer leerlinge.

The witches, beasties, goblins, and Royals return in this
spellbinding conclusion to New York Times best-selling author Megan
Shepherd's Grim Lovelies duology. Ever since she discovered her
affinity for magic, seventeen-year-old Anouk has been desperate to
become a witch. It's the only way to save her friends who, like
Anouk, are beasties: animals enchanted into humans. But unlike
Anouk, the other beasties didn't make it out of the battle at
Montelimar in one piece. With her friends now trapped in their
animal forms, Anouk is forced into a sinister deal involving a
political marriage with her sworn enemy, a wicked plot to overthrow
London's fiercest coven of witches, and a deadly trial of fire to
become a witch. The price for power has always been steep in the
world of the Haute. Now, it will cost Anouk everything. Wicked and
delightful, this spellbinding sequel and conclusion to Grim
Lovelies is perfect for fans of The Cruel Prince and The Hazelwood
Wood.
