The Art of Happiness: A Handbook for Living from Penguin Putnam Price: $16.76 Customer Review:  I really wanted to like this book. I wanted to learn what a wise man could tell me about happiness. Instead, what I got was a psychiatrist of average intelligence and little insight filtering the words of the Dalai Lama through contradictory skepticism and weak science. The author - note: NOT the... |

Ethics for the New Millennium: His Holiness the Dalai Lama from Riverhead Books Price: $10.50 Customer Review: Although I found this a bit slow to get going, with the opening couple of chapters surely rather obvious to most of us in the Western world these days, this is an excellent book. The Dalai Lama carefully puts forward universal principles that can inspire all humanity in the direction of fundamental... |

Healing Anger: The Power of Patience from a Buddhist Perspective from Snow Lion Publications Price: $9.71 Customer Review: Snow Lion Publications is a landmark when it comes to Buddhist literature, up there with Wisdom Books and Shambhala Publications.

Pilgrim from Bulfinch Price: $21.99 Customer Review: Richard has access to places most people do not. Take, for example, His Holiness the Dalai Lama. His Holiness is not accessable to you and I on the level that Richard has. Richard shares private photos, such as plate 63 where His Holiness is in meditation. The photo alone portrays a depth of... |

The Meaning of Life from Wisdom Publications Price: $10.85 Customer Review: While I can sympathize with "a reader" on the fact that this book is in some instances somewhat esoteric, it is nonetheless a helpful text. The Dalai Lama has plenty of books out there that are less dense, I would suggest "An Open Heart" or "How To practice" for anyone who has problems absorbing the... |

The Four Noble Truths: Fundamentals of the Buddhist Teachings His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama from Thorsons Publishers Price: $12.00 Customer Review: Besides offering a thorough exposition of Mahayana belief, and indeed practice, with an anything but common traversal of the Four Noble Truths by a master, in these four videos one is invited to spend a few intimate hours in the presence of the Dalai Lama, always an ennobling experience. The camera... |

You don't have to be Buddhist, heck, in fact, you can be an atheist and still find guidance and solace in the words of the DL. If I had to claim an organized religion, it would be Buddhism, but, as it is, I am a Lincolnite... |

The commentary by the Dalai Lama gives insight to the photos. I don't know if I would want to ever move to Tibet, but this book made me realize that it's a beautiful country. |
