"Tenzin Gyatso, the fourteenth Dalai Lama, was born in 1935 to a peasant family in a remote part of Tibet. Although living in exile, he is the beloved traditional and religious leader of millions of Tibetans and has become a global icon of peace, compassion, spiritual living, and nonviolent struggle for justice. The Dalai Lama's My Spiritual Journey brings the world a message: one of suffering, success, and hope. This vivid and moving portrait of the Dalai Lama's life journey is personal in tone but universal in scope. Using previously unpublished materials, augmented by interviews, the Dalai Lama, with his trusted collaborator's help, presents a spiritual narrative of his life. Memories, stories, anecdotes, and ideas are gathered together to make an accessible and comprehensive whole. The book is organized into three parts. In the first part, he uses his childhood memories to show his human dimension and stresses the importance of relating to each other on the basis of common humanity rather than on differences in belief. In the second part, he considers himself as a Buddhist monk. He explains the source of his bodhisattva ideal and invites us to transform the world by transforming our own mind. His third aspect, that of a Dalai Lama, provides an opportunity to explain his wish to establish Tibet as a sanctuary of peace for the world, where humanity and nature can live in harmonious balance"-
Victor Chan has travelled the world with His Holiness the Dalai Lama, witnessing innumerable intimate moments and remarkable revelations with the spiritual leader.
Das philosophische Manifest des Dalai Lama In der ihm eigenen Klarheit stellt der Dalai Lama die Grundlagen seines Denkens auf eine Weise dar, die es auch philosophisch ungeübten Lesern erlaubt, diese hochkomplexe Lehre geistig zu durchdringen und praktisch umzusetzen. In seinem neuen Grundlagenwerk erläutert der Dalai Lama die innere Architektur des tibetischen Buddhismus, dessen Grundpfeiler Mitgefühl und Weisheit sind. Prägnant erläutert er die Denkweise der „Leerheit“, die uns Zutritt zum Mittleren Weg, dem „Weg des vernünftigen Menschen“, gewährt. Die entscheidenden Lebensfragen nach Sinn, Erfüllung und Erlösung vom Leid werden aus einer Geisteshaltung beantwortet, die Glaube und Vernunft versöhnt. Eine Einführung in den Buddhismus, geschrieben von seinem wichtigsten Vordenker.

Face à l'oppression et à la discrimination que subit son peuple. Gandhi revendique l'action non violente. C'est cette idée qui est au coeur du discours qu'il tient devant ses juges lors de son procès, le 19 mars 1922. Héros du nationalisme indien, il devient un modèle politique et moral tant en Inde qu'en Occident. Nombreux sont ceux qui, à sa suite, s'inscriront dans cette revendication de la non-violence. C'est le cas du Dalaï Lama, lors de son discours de réception du prix Nobel de la paix en 1989, qui s'élève contre l'occupation militaire chinoise au Tibet.
How To Practise is a major inspirational work, by one of the world's greatest spiritual teachers. It is broken down into the basic steps to enlightenment: how to practise morality, how to practise meditation, and how to practise wisdom - at the same time, delving deeper into His Holiness' more general Buddhist teachings, his spirit, wisdom and sense of humour. The book, meant to be used as part of daily practice, is easy to understand and filled with anecdotes. It includes guidance on mental calm, altruism and compassion, refraining from harm, focussing the mind, and much more. Beautifully packaged, this is the ultimate gift from the Dalai Lama, and a wonderful gift to give to anyone interested in having a richer, more fulfilled life.
Though [the Dalai Lama] is one of the most erudite scholars ... he has a gift for reducing his doctrine to a core of lucid practicality, crystallized in the title of his book, Kindness, Clarity and Insight.--Time Magazine
