Book Description
Imbued with a friendly tone and pithy wisdom, this handsome handbook to approaching life "in a better way" includes six of His Holiness The Dalai Lama's most accessible and inspirational public lectures. Following each talk are the original question-and-answer sessions in which His Holiness opens himself up to his listeners and-now-to readers everywhere. His characteristically candid guidance on living fully and responsibly, especially at the start of a new millennium, focuses on specific themes that range from religious tolerance to compassion and nonviolence. The book also includes a practical and highly readable introduction to Buddhism and The Dalai Lama's own spiritual heritage, written by the renowned Lama Thubten Zopa Rinpoche.
Dalai Lama
The Dalai Lama is the supreme religious leader of Tibetan Buddhists and until 1959 AD, the Dalai Lama represented the spiritual and worldly leadership in Tibet.
He is, of course, a Buddhist monk of the Gelugpa group, which was founded by Tsongkhapa (1357-1419).
The title of King of Tibet and the successor of Buddha in the eyes of his followers. The last to hold this title was the 14th Dalai Lama, born in Shanghai in 1935, when he was four years old when a group of lamas considered him to be the successor to the 13th Dalai Lama. It was then erected in Lhasa in 1940 and came to be considered a "living Buddha".
He was a pacifist. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989 for his peaceful struggle for the liberation of Tibet. He has consistently advocated nonviolent policies, even in the face of extreme aggression. He also became the first Nobel Prize winner to be honored for his interest in global environmental problems.
