The Dalai Lama

Here two great spiritual masters share their own hard-won wisdom about living with joy even in the face of adversity.

Since their first meeting in 1972, Victor Chan has enjoyed a warm, enduring friendship with the Dalai Lama. Over the next three decades, Chan would travel the globe with the Tibetan leader. From private meditation sessions to meetings with world leaders, Chan was granted unprecedented access.

This new edition of the very first book of teachings by the Dalai Lama in the English-speaking world—Kindness, Clarity, and Insight—is a testament to the kindness, clarity, and insight of the material within it.

Drawn from His Holiness’s talks in New York City in August of 1999, An Open Heart is a clear and simple introduction to the core of Buddhism. The book lays out a course of meditations, from the simplest to the most challenging, that will enable anyone of any faith to see their minds more clearly and to open their hearts.

In this brief, urgent "appeal to the world," His Holiness the Dalai Lama addresses our time of division, calling on us to draw upon the innate goodness of our shared humanity to overcome the rancor, mistrust, and divisiveness that threaten world peace and sustainability.

The Art of Happiness was the book by the Dalai Lama that broke new ground, bringing his words of wisdom and message of inner peace to millions of people.

In Becoming Enlightened, the Dalai Lama expertly explores the foundation of Buddhism, laying out an accessible and practical approach to age-old questions: How can we live free from suffering? How can we achieve lasting happiness and peace?
