The Dalai Lama Kindness, Clarity and Insight

Whether you are working through a problem with a close friend or trying to stay calm when hearing about world events, there is a new book to help you understand and work with the world around you…

“When I meet new people in new places, in my mind there is no barrier, no curtain…In my mind, as human beings you are my brothers and sisters; there is no difference in substance.” – The Dalai Lama (Kindness, Clarity, and Insight)

For over 25 years, the Dalai Lama has shared his philosophy with people in North America. As a religious leader, he has worked towards peace and tolerance in his own and in other countries.

As his good friend and the book’s translator, Jefferey Hopkins, said, “His holiness is calling on all of humanity to appreciate the social value of kindness and compassion; kindness and compassion are the fabric that make society possible.”

“No matter whom I meet and where I go, I always give advice to be altruistic, to have a good heart…This is the essence of religion; this is the essence of the Buddhist teaching.” – The Dalai Lama

This celebratory new edition of the very first book of the Dalai Lama’s teachings in the English-speaking world is a testament to the kindness, clarity and insight of the material within it. Twenty-five years after it’s original publication it remains one of the most reliable and wide ranging of his books.

The book’s 20 chapters are deftly arranged in a developmental sequence so that readers easily understand the background needed to appriciate more complex topics later in the text.

Taken as a whole, the teachings in this book provide an accessible map of Tibetan spiritual culture. It has been described as both an excellent introduction to Tibetan Buddhism and a clear picture of the Dalai Lama.

NAMASTE!
