About the Author
Tenzin Gyatso, His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama, is the exiled spiritual leader of the Tibetan people. Born in 1935, he was recognized at the age of two as the reincarnation of the thirteenth Dalai Lama and was enthroned in 1940. Following the suppression of the Tibetan national uprising in 1959, he was given political asylum in India. He is widely recognized as an advocate of world peace and has received many honors, including the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989.

The Dalai Lama's Little Book of Inner Peace,
By Tami Brady "Whole Health" (Calgary, Canada) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME) (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: THE DALAI LAMA'S LITTLE BOOK OF INNER PEACE: THE ESSENTIAL LIFE AND TEACHINGS (Hardcover)
No matter what your belief system, The Dalai Lama is a man to be respected. His life has served as an example of peace and the willingness to speak up for the betterment of all people. His life story is extremely interesting: born into a large peasant family, discovered to be the reincarnation of The previous Dalai Lamas, trained to be a monk, and then forced to leave his home so that he could bring his words to the world.The Dalai Lama's Little Book of Inner Peace covers a wide variety of topics including some of The Dalai Lama's childhood memories and concerns as he faced exile. Other sections detail the political upheaval in Tibet and the greater global issues that need to be addressed. For those new to Buddhism, The Dalai Lama introduces key concepts. The Dalai Lama's Little Book of Inner Peace is a fascinating book. I feel like I have a greater insight into The Dalai Lama both as a world leader and as a man.

The Best "Go With" Dalai Lama,
By Elen Pass Brandt - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: THE DALAI LAMA'S LITTLE BOOK OF INNER PEACE: THE ESSENTIAL LIFE AND TEACHINGS (Hardcover)
This little volume is the perfect vademecum -- it goes with you. There is a little something of probably most everything written by His Holiness, serving as an accurate, short, and valuable overview of the Dalai Lama's life and teachings. If you have never read any of his works before, it is a wonderful introduction. If you have read most of his more involved writings, then it is an exquisite reminder of what you found valuable. For either purpose, I highly recommend it. I tend to carry mine around in a brief case for the few moments of quiet I can find. Better to nibble than to starve, so to speak. I tend to keep spare copies for friends who look "hungry".

A very useful and inspiring read,
By Peter Strong - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: THE DALAI LAMA'S LITTLE BOOK OF INNER PEACE: THE ESSENTIAL LIFE AND TEACHINGS (Hardcover)
The Dalai Lama teaches wisdom that we can all understand in a language that is accessible to all. The heart of his teachings rests on the great opening of mind and heart that comes from the cultivation of mindfulness. Compassion flows naturally from this natural openness. I also recommend 'The Path of Mindfulness Meditation', available through Amazon, to give more on the depth of mindfulness practice.
