The spiritual leader and teacher quietly sets out his statement to the world, invoking universal principles such as love, compassion, patience, tolerance and forgiveness as the basis for an ethical life. The central theme is compassion and this book is marked by the Dalai Lama's heart-breaking concern for others and for humanity at large. What could not happen if this book were followed as a map for life, a handbook for human beings' understanding of themselves and their place in the world? I pray that it reaches its widest possible readership. Review by SOGYAL RINPOCHE Editor's note: Sogyal Rinpoche is the author of The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying and one of the foremost interpreters of Tibetan Buddhism to the West. (Kirkus UK)
This work presents the Dalai Lama's prescription for the spiritual expansion of humankind. Addressing what he sees as the spiritual void in modern society, the Dalai Lama calls for the necessity of virtue and greater compassion. Besides discussing ways in which we may care for the environment, he gives guidance in the techniques of contemplation. Written as a form of spiritual handbook, this work is also a complement to "Freedom in Exile", the Dalai Lama's autobiography.
