About this title: Based on three days of teaching in London May 1999, this book is an edited version of the Dalai Lama's discourse on one of the most profound and sacred texts in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. The "Eight Verses on Generating Compassion" are known in Tibetan as "lojong" - literally, transforming your mind. In this commentary on these teachings, His Holiness the Dalai Lama shows us how to transform difficult situations into opportunities for spiritual growth. He also offers practical methods as to how to develop positive ways of thinking and compassion.
