Theofil Halama Book order

Drawing on A Guide to the Bodhisattva Way of Life, the Dalai Lama reveals how learning patience and compassion practices is more essential than ever as we navigate an era of extremism and divisiveness All of the world’s major religions emphasize the importance of love, compassion, and tolerance. This is particularly true in the Buddhist traditions, which unanimously state that compassion and love are the foundation of all paths of practice. To cultivate the potential for compassion and love inherent within us, it is crucial to counteract their opposing forces of anger and hatred. In Perfecting Patience, the Dalai Lama shows how, through the practice of patience and tolerance, we can overcome the obstacles of anger and hatred. He bases his discussion on A Guide to the Bodhisattva Way of Life, the classic work on the activities of bodhisattvas—those who aspire to attain full enlightenment in order to benefit all beings. This book was previously published under the title Healing Anger.

Poetry. Young Adult. "How does poetry come into being? The process is not primarily in the head. One must be emotionally connected and even physically moved. Facts and fictions can be twisted into a good solid mooring rope, or looped into a string for flying a nice red kite, or spun into threads soft enough for a sparrow to snatch up for her nest. The figures of a bright child and an old prophet of the heart may seem more or less interchangeable, stepping slowly side by side across a beach, picking up strange voices floating in the wind like small feathers. Such is the nature of happenings in this magical peregrination of Theofil Halama—'AS DAY BREAKS.'"—John Dotson
