Dalai Lama – författare

Alla kan vara lyckliga. Alla kan känna glädje. Det gäller bara att veta hur man gör.

I april 2015 möttes de två vännerna Dalai Lama och Desmond Tutu för att samtala om glädje. Resultatet är denna bok, som innehåller deras personliga berättelser och lärdomar om glädje, de senaste vetenskapliga upptäckterna om djup lycka och dagliga övningar som utgör ankaret till ett rikt känsloliv.

Dalai Lama och Desmond Tutu är stora spirituella och moraliska ledare, kända för att vara två av vår tids mest smittande glädjespridare, och båda har tilldelats Nobels fredspris. Men de har också prövats av stora personliga motgångar, och här delar de med sig av sin egen kamp. För att själv kunna känna riktig glädje måste man bringa glädje åt andra. Och framför allt visar Lama och Tutu hur den egna glädjen och humorn kan leda till ett lyckligt och harmoniskt liv.

"Två andliga mästare delar med sig av sin visdom i denna upplyftande bok. Jag lovar dig, den är värd varenda krona." Oprah Winfrey "Boken genomsyras av värme och glädje." BTJ

"His Holiness the Dalai Lama...shares lessons learned from a remarkable life, in turn showing us how to live our own lives with compassion, non-violence and love." --Fellow Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Desmond Tutu, author of Made for Goodness

In this elegant self-portrait, the world's most outspoken and influential spiritual leader recounts his epic and engaging life story. The Dalai Lama's most accessible and intimate book, My Spiritual Journey is an excellent introduction to the larger-than-life leader of Tibetan Buddhism--perfect for anyone curious about Eastern religion, invested in the Free Tibet movement, or simply seeking a richer spiritual life. The Dalai Lama's riveting, deeply insightful meditations on life will resonate strongly with readers of Pema Chodron, Ram Das, Thich Nhat Hanh, Deepak Chopra, or the His Holiness's own The Art of Happiness and Ethics for the New Millennium.

From His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Mutt’s cartoonist and award-winning author Patrick McDonnell comes a powerful and timely gem of a book on how to heal our relationship with the planet and each other.At the Dalai Lama’s residence in Dharamsala, India, an unusual visitor has arrived. His Holiness interrupts his morning meditation to greet a troubled Giant Panda who has travelled many miles to see him. Welcoming him as a friend, His Holiness invites the Panda on a walk through a cedar forest. There in the shadow of the Himalayas, surrounded by beauty, they discuss matters great and small . . .

With a galvanizing message about the future of our planet—text by His Holiness accompanied by McDonnell’s masterful illustrations—Heart to Heart calls for a Compassionate Revolution, reminding us that “we are indeed all members of a single family, sharing one little house.” Told with whimsy, wisdom, and warmth, this beautiful book is deceptively simple in its approach and all the more powerful for it, as it elegantly and decisively conveys a message of joy, hope and change.

“There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called Yesterday, and one is called Tomorrow.”

Brought to you by Puffin.For the first time ever, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate His Holiness the Dalai Lama addresses children directly, sharing lessons of peace and compassion, told through stories of his own childhood.One of today''s most inspiring world leaders was once an ordinary child named Lhamo Thondup. In a small village in Tibet, his mother was his first great teacher of compassion. In everyday moments from his childhood, young readers begin to see that important lessons are all around us, and they, too, can grow to truly understand them.With simple, powerful text, the Dalai Lama shares the universalist teachings of treating one another with compassion.
