HIS HOLINESS THE DALAI LAMA infinite compassion for an imperfect world - Watkins Masters of Wisdom

HIS HOLINESS THE DALAI LAMA infinite compassion for an imperfect world - Watkins Masters of Wisdom


RATING: B-

A compendium of quotational paragraphs from HHDL relating to various modern matters, sequenced into sections. I particularly related to his Nobel prize speech in chapter 18, where he spoke of turning Tibet into a land of ahimsa, a beautiful idea. Also of specific interest to me personally was the environmental poem on page 156.

I would recommend this book to those wishing to refresh themselves on some of HHDL's stances and attitudes, those interested in a modern Buddhist outlook, and those who want to read everything written by HHDL.
