An instant New York Times bestseller Two spiritual giants. Five days. One timeless question. 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 traveled to the Dalai Lama's home in Dharamsala, India, to celebrate His Holiness's eightieth birthday and to create what they hoped would be 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 time and revealed how to live a life brimming with joy. This book offers us a rare opportunity to experience their astonishing and unprecendented week together, from the first embrace to the final good-bye. We get to listen as they explore the Nature of True Joy and confront each of the Obstacles of Joy from fear, stress, and anger to grief, illness, and death. They then offer us the Eight Pillars of Joy, which provide the foundation for lasting happiness. Throughout, they include stories, wisdom, and science. Finally, they share their daily Joy Practices that anchor their own emotional and spiritual lives. The Archbishop has never claimed sainthood, and the Dalai Lama considers himself a simple monk. In this unique collaboration, they offer us the reflection of real lives filled with pain and turmoil in the midst of which they have been able to discover a level of peace, of courage, and of joy to which we can all aspire in our own lives.

The Book of Joy is the product of a week-long series of discussions between His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu

Who is that robed man? Where did he come from? What does he believe and why should we care? Does he have anything to say that can improve our lives and help us live with meaning and authenticity? The answers are found in this little book. Here the Dali Lama paints a compelling portrait of his early life, reflecting on the personal and political struggles that have helped to shape his understanding of our world. He explains in a simple and accessible way how each of us can influence those around us by living with integrity. And he holds out hope that through personal transformation, we can all contribute to a better world. In short, think of this as the essential Dalai Lama, a small format, chunky volume that distills the essence of his life and teachings.

In Tibet werden die Worte grosser Meister oft in Büchern gesammelt, die den Titel »Ratschläge des Herzens« tragen. Diese Tradition will der Dalai Lama hier aufgreifen. Was dabei herauskommt, was sich so verständlich und schlicht anhört, ist nichts weniger als die Summe seiner Gedanken Gedanken, die jeden von uns auf seinem Weg begleiten können, egal, woher wir kommen und was wir glauben.

Zwei weise Männer, eine Botschaft Sie sind zwei der bedeutendsten Leitfiguren unserer Zeit: Seine Heiligkeit der Dalai Lama und Erzbischof Desmond Tutu. Obwohl ihr Leben von vielen Widrigkeiten und Gefahren geprägt war, strahlen sie eine Freude aus, die durch nichts zu erschüttern ist. Im Buch der Freude vereinen die „Brüder im Geiste“ ihre immense Lebenserfahrung und die Weisheit ihrer Weltreligionen zu einer gemeinsamen zentralen Erkenntnis: Nur tief empfundene Freude kann sowohl das Leben des Einzelnen als auch das globale Geschehen spürbar zum Positiven wandeln. Unabhängig von allen Herausforderungen und Krisen, mit denen wir täglich konfrontiert werden, können wir diese Energie in uns entfalten und weitergeben. So wird die Freude zur Triebkraft, die unserem Dasein mehr Liebe und Sinn verleiht – und zugleich Hoffnung und Frieden in unsere unsichere Welt bringt.

My Land and My People von His Holiness The Dalai Lama

For the Benefit of All Beings von H. H. the Fourteenth Dalai Lama

Ethik und Menschlichkeit – der neue Appell des Dalai Lamas »Ich habe Vertrauen in Euch« – mit diesen Worten beginnt der Dalai Lama seinen Aufruf an die Jugend der Welt. Mit den Millenials, der Generation, die um die Jahrtausendwende geboren wurden, teilt er die Sorge um den Zustand der Welt. In seinem Buch zeigt der Dalai Lama klar und pointiert Lösungsmöglichkeiten auf: - Die Europäische Union und Berlin im November 1989 – zwei Modelle für Frieden, Demokratie und Freiheit - Warum die Revolutionen der Vergangenheit den menschlichen Geist nicht verändert haben und was wir jetzt anders machen müssen. - Sein Appell lautet: Seid Rebellen des Friedens und beginnt eine Revolution des Mitgefühls! Der radikale Umbruch, den der Dalai Lama beschreibt, soll nicht auf einer Ideologie basieren. Er kann nur aus einer gemeinschaftlichen Philosophie heraus gelingen, aus einer Kultur des Teilens, der Gerechtigkeit und Solidarität. Wenn wir Verantwortung für den Schutz jeglichen Lebens übernehmen, wird der Wandel gelingen. Seid die Generation der Lösungen! Für den Dalai Lama ist gerade die Jugend gut gerüstet, diesen Wandel zu stemmen, denn sie ist gut vernetzt und bereit, Verantwortung zu übernehmen: »Ich trage die tiefe Überzeugung in mir, dass eure Generation in der Lage ist, das neue Jahrhundert in ein Jahrhundert des Friedens und des Dialogs zu überführen. Dass ihr in der Lage seid, die Menschheit wieder zu einen, mit sich selbst und mit ihrer Umwelt.« Nach dem Spiegel-Bestseller »Ethik ist wichtiger als Religion« wendet sich der Dalai Lama erneut in einem inspirierenden Essay an die Menschheit und ruft zur Revolution des Mitgefühls auf!

Dalai Lama, erläutert in diesem Buch in allgemeinverständlicher Form die Bedeutung der Vier Edlen Wahrheiten für den Buddhismus und deren Anwendung im heutigen Westen: »Wenn man die Vier Edlen Wahrheiten nicht verstanden hat und die Wahrheit dieser Unterweisungen nicht selbst erfahren hat, ist es praktisch unmöglich, den Buddha-Dharma, das heisst die Unterweisungen Buddhas, anzuwenden.« S.H. der XIV.
