Book Description
A little book to help inspire and transform heart and mind. Teachings such as meditations on generating compassion and calm are the core of this little book that will appeal to the growing number of people inspired by the Dalai Lama.
A practical little book, to aid and inspire Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike. It includes clear and simple meditation techniques which we can use to transform our attitudes, in order to generate love, compassion, understanding and wisdom. In plain, accessible language, it gives instructions for two meditation practices--lo-jong and tonglen meditation – that release anger and negative emotions and increase our ability to act with kindness.
A follow-up to the bestseller The Dalai Lama's Book of Wisdom this book should have wide appeal to all those seeking more happiness and peace.
About the Author
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso, is the head of state and spiritual leader of the Tibetan people. He was born Lhamo Dhondrub on 6 July 1935, in a small village called Taktser in northeastern Tibet. Born to a peasant family, His Holiness was recognized at the age of two, in accordance with Tibetan tradition, as the reincarnation of his predecessor the 13th Dalai Lama, and thus an incarnation Avalokitesvara, the Buddha of Compassion.
He began his education at the age of six and completed the Geshe Lharampa Degree (Doctorate of Buddhist Philosophy) when he was 25 in 1959. He assumed political power and due to his continued efforts to bring about world peace, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989 and won worldwide praise for his devotion to a non-violent liberation of Tibet.
His Holiness follows the life of Buddhist monk, in his small cottage in Dharamsala, India. He rises at 4am to meditate, before attending administrative meetings, private audiences and religious teachings and ceremonies. He has written many books on Buddhism, including Transforming the Mind, The Four Noble Truths, The Art of Happiness and A Simple Path.

Huge wisdom from a little tiny book,
By
This review is from: Dalai Lama Book Of Transformation (Paperback)
A wonderful companion book to the Dalai Lama's "Transforming the Mind." I keep this little book (be prepared: it's only about 4" square!) on my computer at work and refer to it in times of stress (about every half hour). "The Book of Transformation" has actually taken the most important concepts of "Transforming the Mind" and put them here. I think it's a great idea, especially if you are like me and enjoy going back and re-reading certain sections. I'd recommend reading "Transforming the Mind" first, then keeping this little book with you at all times! It will constantly remind you that generating compassion for all living beings is a wonderful way to bring true joy into your own life, as well as spreading joy everywhere you go. The world could learn a lot from this Nobel Peace Price recipient.

Cliff Notes Version of "Transforming the Mind",
By Elen Pass Brandt - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dalai Lama Book Of Transformation (Paperback)
The book "Transforming the Mind" by His Holiness the Dalie Lama is an essential "how to" book on learning to foster wisdom and compassion in your daily life. This is the wonderful "Cliff Notes" version of the same. Small and easy to carry with you. I consider both vital tools for growth and peace of mind. Most highly recommended.
