"This is a good book that covers the basic principles of Buddhism coming from His Holiness the Dalai Lama. A great book for those new/interested in Buddhism. I appreciated the focus on compassion, tolerance and religious pluralism that His Holiness promotes; I was surprised to learn the influence of science and the interest of population control within Buddhism.
I was partially motivated to read this book b/c I had recently watched the Bradd Pitt film "Seven Years in Tibet" about a mountainclimber during WWII that developed a close friendship with a young Dalai Lama in Tibet. A good film for those who like the book/topic."
"A beautiful coffee table book, alternating photos of Tibet with excerpts from some of the Dalai Lama's speeches from the 1990's. There are six sections: "Contentment, Joy, and Living Well", "Facing Death and Dying Well", "Dealing with Anger and Emotion", "Giving and Receiving: A Practical Way of Directing Love and Compassion", "Interdependence, Inter-connectedness and the Nature of Reality", and "The Challenge for Humanity: An Interfaith Address". There is no conclusion, and the book ends really abruptly with a paragraph on the issue of human overpopulation, and how it's a big problem. He never actually advocates anything like population control, but he does say it is up to the world's religions to tackle the issue. Interesting."
