Dalai Lama XIV. Book order (chronological)

'I want to wish all of you joy-because there is no better gift. Two spiritual masters, the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, share their wisdom in this uplifting book. I promise you, it's the best $26 you can spend.' Oprah Winfrey Nobel Peace Prize Laureates His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu have survived more than fifty years of exile and the soul-crushing violence of oppression. Despite their hardships - or, as they would say, because of them - they are two of the most joyful people on the planet. In April 2015, Archbishop Tutu travelled to the Dalai Lama's home in Dharamsala, India, to celebrate His Holiness's eightieth birthday and to create this book as a gift for others. They looked back on their long lives to answer a single burning question: how do we find joy in the face of life's inevitable suffering? They traded intimate stories, teased each other continually, and shared their spiritual practices. By the end of a week filled with laughter and punctuated with tears, these two global heroes had stared into the abyss and despair of our times and revealed how to live a life brimming with joy. This book offers us a rare opportunity to experience their astonishing and unprecedented week together, from the first embrace to the final goodbye.

Ichbezogenheit, Eigennutz und Gier pragen unsere Welt - Der Dalai Lama gibt uns in diesem faszinierenden Buch Schlussel in die Hand, um die Turen zu einem Miteinander zu offnen. Mit diesen Texten fuhrt er uns in die Welt der buddhistischen Meditation, deren Grundlage und Ziel das Mitgefuhl mit anderen Wesen ist, ein. Mit Hilfe der Lehre von den drei Schlusseln steht uns nicht nur eine individuelle Entwicklung auf dem Weg zur innersten Erkenntnis offen, sondern auch eine kollektive Chance zu mehr Frieden. Ein uber Jahrtausende gewachsener Weisheitsschatz erschliesst sich dem Leser.

His Holiness provides step-by-step exercises to help readers shatter their false assumptions and ideas of the self and see the world as it actually exists, which is a prelude to right action.

Der Dalai Lama sorgt sich um unsere Zukunft und die unseres Planeten. Dem in der Geschichte der Menschheit höchsten Level materiellen Wohlergehens steht – so das geistliche Oberhaupt der Tibeter – das höchste Niveau an Unbehagen und psychischem Stress gegenüber. Wir befinden uns in einer sozialen Krise ohnegleichen, und diese findet ihren Ausdruck auch in einer existenzbedrohenden ökologischen Krise – mit Erderwärmung, Entwaldung, Gletscherschmelze, Bodenerosion, Umweltverschmutzung und steigenden Meerespegeln. In eindringlichen Worten ruft der Dalai Lama zur Umkehr auf. Und er plädiert für das ethische Prinzip einer universellen Verantwortung, die jenseits von Gewinnstreben und Religionen das Wohlergehen anderer, auch der nächsten Generationen, über das eigene stellt. Ein eindringlicher Appell, dem wir uns nicht entziehen dürfen.

Die unauslotbare Tiefe der buddhistischen Sicht des Lebens und der Wirklichkeit. Vor einem großen westlichen Publikum vorgetragen: die authentische Darstellung einer großen Weisheitstradition. Von einer der großen geistigen Gestalten der Gegenwart auf einzigartige Weise erschlossen.

No country, culture, or individual remains unaffected by global events. Technological advancements, environmental issues, and instant communication have fostered unprecedented connections among diverse cultures. The Dalai Lama emphasizes that the primary challenge of the 21st Century is to cultivate peaceful coexistence. While some fear an inevitable “clash of civilizations,” past religious conflicts, though significant, did not threaten humanity's survival as current extremism does. With extremists leveraging faith and technology, a single incident could have catastrophic consequences. However, the Dalai Lama suggests that globalization can also lead to deeper connections among nations and individuals through shared human experiences. Major religions address similar fundamental questions, each offering unique insights that can inspire enriching dialogues in the quest for wisdom. Compassion is a common guiding principle across faith traditions, and recognizing this value is essential for spiritual growth. By affirming the worth of other faiths, we can foster genuine respect. The Dalai Lama also discusses how to appreciate religious differences without conflict, asserting that harmony does not require all religions to be the same. He illustrates how sincere believers can embrace pluralism while remaining committed to their own faith's teachings. This work presents a hopeful yet realistic vision for humanity's future.

Die Essenz der Lehre Buddhas

The Dalai Lama visited New York in 2003 and gave a series of lectures, culminating in a public talk in Central Park, which drew over a quarter of a million people.

Leading the reader through the diverse schools of Buddhist philosophy, this book also teaches us how to let go of our own strong ideas of self and how to find a little more happiness in life, for ourselves and for others. For all the millions of fans of the Dalai Lama's writings, and for anyone yet to be introduced to his thinking, Training the Mind is the perfect book to learn how to dedicate our positive activities to the benefit of all in order to build a better world.

Niema Ash was one of the first Westerners to enter Tibet when its borders were briefly opened in 1986. Visiting at a time when tourists were few and far between allowed her to encounter people for whom traditional life had been unchanged for generations.

Le emozioni stanno alla base di tutte le nostre azioni, dalle più virtuose alle più malvagie. Ci possono salvare la vita, permettendoci di agire in fretta, ma possono anche rovinarci per sempre. Senza emozioni non ci sarebbero empatia, compassione, eroismo, ma nemmeno crudeltà, egoismo o disprezzo. Indispensabile, quindi, imparare a conoscerle e trovare il giusto equilibrio. Il grande maestro buddista e lo psicologo americano pioniere nella scienza delle emozioni ci guidano alla ricerca della giusta via per trovare la felicità emotiva, attingendo alla millenaria saggezza buddista e alla più avanzata scienza occidentale. Un libro facile e concreto che può cambiare il modo in cui guardiamo a noi stessi. Un leader spirituale erede di una cultura millenaria e lo psicologo che ha contribuito a definire la moderna scienza delle emozioni mettono a confronto il loro pensiero, tracciando un percorso comune per la costruzione della felicità.

This absorbing account details a dialogue between leading Western scientists and the Dalai Lama of Tibet, focusing on transitional states of consciousness that are pivotal in both modern science and Buddhist practice. The discussions center on three key moments: sleep, dreams, and death, offering engaging insights into topics such as lucid dreaming, near-death experiences, and the nature of consciousness. Narrated by neuroscientist Francisco Varela, the book opens with philosopher Charles Taylor's reflections on personal identity, setting the stage for remarkable exchanges with scientists like Dr. Jerome Engel and Dr. Joyce MacDougal. These conversations reveal significant convergences between Western scientific thought and Buddhist contemplative practices, as seen in Dr. Jayne Gackenbach's exploration of lucid dreaming, which elicits a fascinating response from the Dalai Lama regarding dream manipulation in Buddhist meditation. However, the dialogue also uncovers notable divergences, such as the Dalai Lama's skepticism about near-death experiences as discussed by Joan Halifax. The engaging nature of these conversations makes the work accessible and intriguing for readers interested in psychology, neuroscience, Buddhism, or the realms of dreams.

Der Dalai Lama präsentiert sich in diesem Buch als humorvoller und einfühlsamer Beobachter unserer täglichen Suche nach Liebe, Mitgefühl und Toleranz.

Nel Tibet controllato dall'esercito cinese, gli occupanti insegnano una storia che vede il Dalai Lama come un tiranno, giustamente spodestato dall'occupazione del 1950. La verità è ben altra, e per la prima volta il Dalai Lama la ricostruisce in questo libro, frutto di centinaia di ore di conversazione con Thomas Laird a Dharamsala, in India. Nel racconto avvincente del Dalai Lama, ricco di aneddoti illuminanti e di episodi curiosi, si snoda il cammino millenario del popolo tibetano, dai miti sulle origini dei primi abitanti dell'altopiano himalaiano alla rocambolesca fuga del Dalai Lama nel 1959. Una lunga vicenda, la storia di un popolo orgoglioso della propria cultura, che neppure dopo cinquant'anni di occupazione militare si è sottomesso, né ha rinunciato all'esercizio di quella spiritualità unica al mondo, amata in ogni dove, che è il frutto più prezioso di questa civiltà.

Questa libro sulla necessità dell'amore, in cui Sua Santità il Dalai Lama attinge a una lunga tradizione di tecniche tibetane per la trasformazione della mente e del cuore, contribuisce a ciò di cui tutti abbiamo bisogno: l'aumento della compassione reciproca. È auspicabile che in tutto il mondo l'amore sciolga l'intolleranza, la saggezza trionfi sull'ignoranza, l'attivismo coordinato sostituisca la passività della disperazione, il dialogo prenda il posto delle recriminazioni e la giustizia elimini il desiderio di vendetta.

Tag für Tag gehen Bilder von Krieg und Gewalt, von Armut und Tod um die Welt. Bilder, die schockieren und an unsere Menschlichkeit appellieren. In seinem neuesten Buch hält der Dalai Lama ein eindringliches Plädoyer für Frieden, religiöse Toleranz und spirituelle Weiterentwicklung. Er zeigt, welche wesentliche Rolle die Kraft der Menschlichkeit spielt - sei es im Alltag oder aber bei den großen Konflikten unserer Welt. Er lehrt uns, dass wir diesen Konflikten nicht hilflos ausgeliefert sind, sondern dass wir sie - im Großen wie im Kleinen - meistern und dadurch zu wahrem Frieden gelangen können.

This is the most informative and thorough book on Dzogchen available. These teachings are on Dzogchen, the heart essence of the ancient Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Exploring this esoteric subject in print for the first time, His Holiness offers the reader insights into one of Buddhism's most profound systems of meditation. He discusses both the philosophic foundations and the practices of this system—taking into account the approaches of various schools and teachers. Paying tribute to the uniqueness of Dzogchen, His Holiness sets it within the wider spectrum of Tibetan Buddhism as a whole. He explains the essence of Dzogchen practice and addresses questions such as why Dzogchen is called "the pinnacle of all vehicles," what are its special features, and what are the crucial principles of the other Buddhist paths which a Dzogchen practitioner should know.

In this ground-breaking book, the Dalai Lama advises us to gain familiarity with the process and practices of death so that, when we are physically weak, our minds can still be focussed in the right direction, and in the right manner. Advice on Dying cautions us not to fall under the influence of the mistaken belief of permanence. We should not think that we have a lot of time in this life, because there is a great danger of wasting our lives in procrastination. He suggests we meditate on our lives, and on the indefiniteness of the time of death. For, though the time of our death is uncertain, death itself is certain... In this empowering and positive book, His Holiness brings new inspiration to a subject that we, in the West, have long ignored to our detriment. It is only by taming our minds and fully facing the end of our lives, that we can fully live in the present moment.

The Life of Shabkar has long been recognized by Tibetans as one of the masterworks of their religious heritage. Shabkar Tsogdruk Rangdrol devoted himself to many years of meditation in solitary retreat after his inspired youth and early training in the province of Amdo under the guidance of several extraordinary Buddhist masters. With determination and courage, he mastered the highest and most esoteric practices of the Tibetan tradition of the Great Perfection. He then wandered far and wide over the Himalayan region expressing his realization. Shabkar's autobiography vividly reflects the values and visionary imagery of Tibetan Buddhism, as well as the social and cultural life of early nineteenth-century Tibet.

In their 1998 book, His Holiness the Dalai Lama and co-author Howard C. Cutler, M.D., delve into how inner development fosters happiness. In their follow-up, they explore a subject impacting millions: the relationship between work and overall happiness. This accessible book addresses critical questions such as "Where does work fit into our quest for happiness?" and "How does work satisfaction influence life satisfaction?" Presented as a modern Socratic dialogue, Cutler engages the Dalai Lama on the challenges and rewards of the workplace. They discuss themes like work and identity, financial success, the Buddhist idea of "right livelihood," and transforming workplace dissatisfaction. Initially, the insights may seem straightforward, but the Dalai Lama's profound wisdom and sensitivity shine through. He emphasizes that fundamental human values—kindness, tolerance, compassion, honesty, and forgiveness—are essential for true happiness. Through clear examples, he demonstrates how applying these qualities to work-related challenges can help navigate difficult situations. Acknowledging that not all problems can be resolved, the Dalai Lama offers sound advice, advocating for balance and self-awareness. He wisely notes that relying solely on work for satisfaction is a mistake, regardless of how fulfilling it may be.

Avec un sens aigu du dialogue interreligieux, le Dalaï-Lama commente ici les Evangiles pour la première fois. Fort de toute la sagesse bouddhiste, il interprète le cœur de la révélation chrétienne. Tout en soulignant les convergences exceptionnelles des deux traditions, il marque aussi les différences et les points de séparation. Il encourage chacun à rester dans sa voie mais à l'approfondir. Ce qui éclate ici, c'est le potentiel d'enrichissement mutuel que recèle ce dialogue interreligieux, surtout dans le domaine de l'éthique et de la pratique spirituelle. Cela féconde les attitudes de compassion, de méditation et de tolérance.

Quelles réponses le chef spirituel du bouddhisme peut apporter à nos interrogations de citoyens, de consommateurs, d'hommes et de femmes aux prises avec les difficultés matérielles et éthiques de la vie quotidienne en Occident ? Il fallait un homme comme Fabien Ouaki, président du groupe des magasins Tati, français d'origine juive sépharade, pour oser mettre à l'épreuve du concret le maître spirituel. En répondant avec simplicité à toutes les questions de Fabien Ouaki, tant sur la gestion économique que le pouvoir et la sexualité ou l'éthique individuelle et collective, le Dalaï-Lama montre combien sa tradition est vivifiante et libératrice et nous fait percevoir qu'à tout instant, si nous le voulons, " la vie est à nous ".

Based on the Dalai Lama’s talks in London this ebook addresses the current difficulties facing humanity including: racial hatred, gender and environmental protection.Modern life is so full of confusion and suffering that people need the courage to face their anger and hatred, in order to transfrom their lives and relationships.This ebook describes in a clear and simple style how to live and die well and how to bring wisdom and compassion into our everyday lives.‘Genuine compassion is based on a clear acceptance or recognition that others, like oneself, want happiness and have the right to overcome suffering. On that basis one develops concern about the welfare of others, irrespective of one’s attitude to oneself. That is compassion.’The Dalai Lama

Das Gleichgewicht der Erde ist in Gefahr, vielerorten bekommen wir schon heute zu spüren, daß sich die Menschheit mit Krieg, Gewalt und ökologischem Raubbau ihren eigenen Lebensgrundlagen beaubt hat. In dieser Situation ist die Welt des Fernen Ostens und besonders der tibetanische Buddhismus zur Quelle der Inspiration geworden. Der XIV. Dalai Lama, Verkörperung dieser großen Kultur, sucht den Dialog mit der westlichen Welt. Er versucht herauszufinden, welche Elemente des tibetischen Buddhismus den westlichen Gesellschaften einerseits und welche Erkenntnisse des Westens dem fernöstlichen Lebensbereich andererseits weiterhelfen können. Das vorliegende Buch dokumentiert ein interdisziplinäres Kolloquium mit amerikanichen Wissenschaftlern, auf dem wichtige Fragen zur Zukunft der Menschheit erörtert wurden.

In The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, a distinguished Buddhist teacher clarifies the majestic vision of life and death that underlies the Tibetan tradition - and shows us how we can use this knowledge to help us face death and understand life.

In 1938 a two year old boy was recognised through a traditional process of discovery as being the reincarnation of all previous Dalai Lamas, the spiritual rulers of Tibet. Taken away from his parents, he was brought up in Lhasa according to a monastic regimen of rigorous austerity and in almost total isolation. Aged seven he was enthroned in the 1000-room Potala palace as the supreme spiritual leader of a nation the size of Western Europe, with population of six million. And at fifteen, he became head of state. With Tibet under threat from the newly Communist Chinese, there followed a traumatic decade during which he became the confidant of both Chairman Mao and Jawaharal Nehru as he tried to maintain autonomy for his people. Then in 1959, he was finally forced into exile - followed by over 100,000 destitute refugees. Here, in his own words, he describes what it was like to grow up revered as a deity among his people, reveals his innermost feelings about his role, and discusses the mysteries of Tibetan Buddhism.

Der Dalai Lama spricht über die Bedeutung von Liebe und Mitgefühl als den Grundlagen spirituellen Wachstums. Seine Hinweise auf die moralische Verantwortung jedes Einzelnen haben immer auch eine eminent gesellschaftliche und politische Dimension. Seine konsequente Parteinahme für Gerechtigkeit und Frieden entspringt keinem weltfernen Idealismus, sondern ist heute aktueller den je.
