The Dalai Lama visited New York in 2003 and gave a series of lectures, culminating with a public talk in Central Park, which drew over a quarter of a million people. Based on these lectures, this new volume will provide practical instruction on how we can use meditation to realise the mind's phenomenal potential. It will also lead the reader through the diverse schools of Buddhist philosophy, teaching us how to let go of our own strong ideas of self and how to find a little more happiness in life, for ourselves and for others. For all the millions of fans of the Dalai Lama's writings, and for anyone yet to be introduced to his thinking, Training the Mind is the perfect book to learn how to dedicate our positive activities to the benefit of all in order to build a better world.

From the teachings of the world-renowned Buddhist leader, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, comes a practical, seven-step guidebook for developing your love for others and transforming each and every one of your relationships in life.Widening the Circle of Love offers readers a simple and illuminating programme for transforming self-centred energy into outwardly directed concern. Basing his views on the human capacity to improve, and drawing on exercises and techniques established in India and then refined in Tibetan monasteries over more than a thousand years, the Dalai Lama's teachings are supremely relevant to our lives today: The First Step: Recognising Friends The Second Step: Appreciating Kindness The Third Step: Returning Kindness The Fourth Step: Learning to Love The Fifth Step: The Power of Compassion The Sixth Step: Total Commitment The Seventh Step: Using the above in the service of othersFilled with personal anecdotes from His Holiness's own experiences, as well as centuries-old wisdom, Widening the Circle of Love is a major book which will rival the Dalai Lama's seminal - and bestselling - The Art of Happiness in offering us an accessible, practical path towards personal growth.

The Dalai Lama's message in this book is as renowned as he is himself: that compassion is essential for individuals and for the world. This is very much his subject for, when we think of His Holiness, we immediately think of the compassion he embodies, and to which he has devoted his entire life.He suggests we pay close attention to the way we respond to everyone and to everything around us, and explains how caring for others can be a profound source of happiness on an individual level, which can then be extended outward in wider and wider circles. From here, he goes on to describe basic mistakes (such as hatred towards others) that lead us into personal turmoil and interpersonal disruption. Then he asks us to examine the nature of consciousness so we understand how the transformation of our attitude is possible. Finally, in typically practical fashion, he suggests how we can implement compassion in our daily lives, and go on to live with greater care and concern for all beings.

Ichbezogenheit, Eigennutz und Gier prägen unsere Welt – doch das Herz der Meditation ist die Empathie. Ohne sie kann es keine Erkenntnis geben. Mit diesem unvergleichlichen Hörbuch führt uns der Dalai Lama in die Welt der buddhistischen Meditation, deren Grundlage und Ziel das Mitgefühl mit anderen Wesen ist. Mithilfe der Lehre von den drei Schlüsseln steht uns nicht nur eine individuelle Entwicklung auf dem Weg zur innersten Erkenntnis offen, sondern auch eine kollektive Chance zu mehr Frieden. Ein über Jahrtausende gewachsener Weisheitsschatz öffnet sich dem Hörer.Tenzin Gyatso, 14. Dalai Lama, geb. 1935, im Nordosten Tibets. Der buddhistische Mönch erhielt im Alter von vier Jahren in der tibetanischen Hauptstadt Lhasa offiziell den Titel des 14. Dalai Lama. Er floh nach der Besetzung Tibets durch China 1959 nach Indien und residiert im Exil in Dharamsala. Auf seinen regelmäßigen Reisen in westliche Länder gilt der Dalai Lama als Botschafter des Friedens und als anerkannter Gesprächspartner für Fragen rund um das Leben und Spiritualität. Der Dalai Lama ist nicht nur der bedeutendste Repräsentant des Buddhismus, sondern weltweit unumstritten einer der großen Repräsentanten der Weisheit.

In An Appeal to the World, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet illuminates the way to peace in our time, arguing for a form of universal ethics that goes beyond religion - values we all share as humans that can help us create unity and peace to heal our world. THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER Includes exclusive bonus audio of the voice of the Dalai Lama as co-author Franz Alt asks about his views on President Trump, the rise of nationalism, the refugee crisis, the climate catastrophe, and more. `I see with ever greater clarity that our spiritual well-being depends not on religion, but on our innate human nature, our natural affinity for goodness, compassion and caring for others' In this 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 rancour, mistrust, and divisiveness that threaten world peace and sustainability. Working with trusted collaborator Franz Alt, the Dalai Lama calls on the better angels of our nature to tackle a wide range of contemporary issues, from war, violence and intolerance to climate change, global hunger and materialism. Applying the techniques and teachings of Tibetan Buddhism - from listening and contemplation to meditation and nonviolence - His Holiness provides a roadmap forward. Brief yet profound, An Appeal to the World is an inspiring message of love and optimism that can truly change the world.

"Một lần nữa, hãy nghỉ ngơi và tiếp tục tập luyện tập trung vào sự bất xuất hiện của tất cả các hiện tượng, tức là thiền vào tính vô ngã. Điều này như vậy vì khi quý vị thiền nhất quán điểm vào tính vô ngã, những hiện tượng quy ước ngừng xuất hiện trong tinh thần của quý vị. Nếu tinh thần của quý vị trở thành hao mòn mệt mỏi do kết quả của việc thiền như vậy, quý vị nên nghỉ ngơi. Rồi một lần nữa tiếp tục việc thiền của quý vị về sự liên kết việc nhìn thông suốt đặc biệt và việc bám trụ bình tĩnh, là điều được biết như việc chăm chú vào sự phản ảnh cả hai một cách có ý thức và một cách không có ý thức."

Mit einem Vorwort von Daniel Goleman

Following on from the internationally bestselling The Art of Happiness, the Dalai Lama and Howard Cutler bring us the inspiring The Art of Happiness in a Troubled World.This inspirational book brings the successful East-meets-West pairing together again to provide a practical application of Tibetan Buddhist spiritual values to the fast-paced, unpredictable, stressful and demanding world we all live in today.In this wise, insightful and practical book, the Dalai Lama shows us how to follow the path that will lead us to fulfilment, purpose and happiness, even in our troubled modern times.

In Stages of Meditation, His Holiness offers his highly practical views on the subject of meditation: how to meditate, the various different procedures and approaches we can take, what we and others may gain from it. He explains how we can develop a spiritual path in a proper sequence rather than in a scattered, piecemeal fashion. He also shows the importance of building up both method and wisdom, as well as cultivating compassion and 'special insight' as we train our minds. This impressive and stimulating book will not only bring the Dalai Lama - one of the world's most popular and pragmatic spiritual leaders - to a huge new audience but, because so many people round the globe are now practising meditation, from a basis of religious faith or none, this is a work which will doubtless be in print for many years to come.

In this accessible book, His Holiness the Dalai Lama considers such well-known Gospel passages as the Sermon on the Mount, the Healing of the Sick and the Resurrection. He offers fresh perspectives on these familiar Christian sources of faith, and also considers such widespread concerns as inner transformation, meditation, ritual, and the ideas of reward and punishment, heaven and hell. His exploration of the similarities and differences between Buddhism and Christianity gives us a model of dialogue for the coming era of global spirituality, which will open the windows of understanding for the modern spiritual seeker of any faith.

Discover Buddhism with the world's most revered spiritual leaderThis jewel of a book offers the core teachings on Buddhism applicable in daily life from His Holiness the Dalai Lama. This is a classic timeless collection of advice and teachings about the importance of love and compassion, individual responsibility and awareness of the problems in everyday life. Whoever you are, whatever your beliefs, the Dalai Lama s words have the power to calm and inspire.

More and more people feel so overwhelmed by the trouble the world is facing today that they don’t know where to begin – so they do the worst thing of all – NOTHING. We have become our own worst nightmare. The good news is that you can save the world – and prosper – just by being you. It is so simple. Stop complaining about how bad it is and start utilizing your circle of influence instead. It is not important how much you do. What matters is that you do the best you can with what you have. One person, one nation, or even one continent cannot solve the serious trouble that the world is facing today. We all must pull together – all 6.8 billion of us. It seems as if the world is spinning out of control with financial crises, climate change, and wars. Everywhere you look, something crazy is going on. We have become obese, overloaded with information, and most of us have lost track of why we are even here. How can we regain a meaningful life? That is the core question that Sebastian Nybo examines in this book, and his answer is as simple as it is efficient: Just be true to what you know is right. He believes that we all have an ethical awareness encoded in our DNA and that this innate ability can serve as a behavioral compass in our everyday lives. The key is to understand that you have to believe it in order to see it. Sebastian Nybo has included a series of interviews that he conducted with His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, who is an outstanding example of someone who has really tried to do the best he can with what he has – regardless of the odds. Sebastian Nybo has woven together the wisdom and spirituality of His Holiness with his own knowledge of human evolution and positive psychology, and thereby created a powerful antidote to the stress of modern life.

Two leading thinkers engage in a landmark conversation about human emotions and the pursuit of psychological fulfillmentAt their first meeting, a remarkable bond was sparked between His Holiness the Dalai Lama, one of the world's most revered spiritual leaders, and the psychologist Paul Ekman, whose groundbreaking work helped to define the science of emotions. Now these two luminaries share their thinking about science and spirituality, the bonds between East and West, and the nature and quality of our emotional lives.In this unparalleled series of conversations, the Dalai Lama and Ekman prod and push toward answers to the central questions of emotional experience. What are the sources of hate and compassion? Should a person extend her compassion to a torturer-and would that even be biologically possible? What does science reveal about the benefits of Buddhist meditation, and can Buddhism improve through engagement with the scientific method? As they come to grips with these issues, they invite us to join them in an unfiltered view of two great traditions and two great minds.Accompanied by commentaries on the findings of emotion research and the teachings of Buddhism, their interplay-amusing, challenging, eye-opening, and moving-guides us on a transformative journey in the understanding of emotions.

Un libro único en el que dos Premios Nobel de la Paz comparten sus pensamientos, creencias y espiritualidad.«La fuente última de la felicidad reside en nosotros.»Su santidad el Dalai Lama«Nuestra bondad crece cuando se la pone a prueba.» Arzobispo Desmond TutuEl laureado Premio Nobel de la Paz, Su Santidad el Dalai Lama, y el arzobispo Desmond Tutu han sobrevivido a más de cincuenta años de exilio, a varias persecuciones e incluso a situaciones de desgarradora violencia. A pesar de sus sufrimientos o como ellos dirían, «gracias a ellos» son dos de las personas más alegres del planeta.En abril del año 2015, el arzobispo Tutu viajó a casa del Dalai Lama en Dharamsala, India, para acompañarlo en la celebración de su ochenta aniversario. Aprovechando la ocasión se dispusieron a crear algo que, esperaban, se convirtiera en un regalo para otros. Mirando atrás en sus largas vidas se propusieron responder a una única y candente pregunta:¿Cómo podemos encontrar la alegría mientras afrontamos el inevitable sufrimiento de la vida?En el transcurso de aquella semana, ambos intercambiaron historias, bromearon y compartieron sus prácticas espirituales. Tras esos días llenos de risas, y algunas lágrimas, estos dos héroes mundiales miraron en el abismo y la desesperación de nuestros tiempos y encontraron la manera de vivir una vida llena de alegría.Este libro nos ofrece la inusual oportunidad de compartir con estos dos grandes hombres la sorprendente y original semana que pasaron juntos, desde el primer abrazo hasta la despedida final. Los escucharemos mientras exploran la naturaleza de la verdadera alegría y se enfrentan a todas sus barreras desde el miedo y el estrés y la rabia y el dolor hasta la enfermedad y la muerte y aprenderemos de sus «Ocho pilares de la alegría», que nos proporcionan recursos para una felicidad duradera.El arzobispo nunca ha proclamado su santidad, y el Dalai Lama se considera a sí mismo un simple monje. En esta colaboración única, nos ofrecen las reflexiones de unas vidas llenas de dolor y desorden en medio de las cuales han sido capaces de descubrir un estado de paz, coraje y alegría que puede inspirarnos en nuestra propia vida.El libro de la alegría no es solo una muestra de la profunda sabiduría de estos dos grandes líderes sino también de su humanidad, humor y pasión por la vida y los seres humanos.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONAn instant New York Times bestsellerTwo great spiritual masters share their own hard-won wisdom about living with joy even in the face of adversity.The occasion was a big birthday. And it inspired two close friends to get together in Dharamsala for a talk about something very important to them. The friends were His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. The subject was joy. Both winners of the Nobel Prize, both great spiritual masters and moral leaders of our time, they are also known for being among the most infectiously happy people on the planet.From the beginning the book was envisioned as a three-layer birthday cake: their own stories and teachings about joy, the most recent findings in the science of deep happiness, and the daily practices that anchor their own emotional and spiritual lives. Both the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Tutu have been tested by great personal and national adversity, and here they share their personal stories of struggle and renewal. Now that they are both in their eighties, they especially want to spread the core message that to have joy yourself, you must bring joy to others.Most of all, during that landmark week in Dharamsala, they demonstrated by their own exuberance, compassion, and humor how joy can be transformed from a fleeting emotion into an enduring way of life.

Based on a lecture given by the Dalai Lama on the wisdom chapter of A Guide to the Bodhisattva Way of Life, this book comments on Tibetan Buddhist philosophy in a clear and direct way.Shantideva's A Guide to the Bodhisattva Way of Life is one of the most important texts in the Mahayana tradition of Buddhist practice. Its ninth chapter, the section on transcendent wisdom, is known among Buddhist scholars as a challenging exposition of Madhyamika philosophy and difficult to understand without a commentary. This extraordinarily clear discussion of the wisdom chapter is based on an oral teaching given by His Holiness the Dalai Lama before an audience of thousands of Tibetans and Westerners. This invaluable volume with its precise explanation of core issues of Tibetan Buddhism stands as a key work in Buddhist literature. This book was previously published under the title Transcendent Wisdom.

It is a favorite text of the Dalai Lama, and he often takes the opportunity to give teachings on it to audiences throughout the world. In his words, "This text can be like a key that opens the door to all other major Buddhist scriptures." Topics include the nature of mind, how to develop compassion and loving-kindness, calm abiding wisdom, and how to establish a union of calm abiding and special insight.
