Pocketbook sized paperback with simple but powerful messages.
from an online reviewer
In this small (literally) book, HH Dalai Lama speaks of compassion, ridding oneself of anger, forgiveness of enemies, living life in a truly more loving way. Although much of it seems familiar to western ears [the ideas of love compassion and service are not unknown in western religion and philosophy], the simplicity of much of what the Dalai Lama says is striking.
His own struggles with anger are enlightening, and the prose, gleaned from lectures I believe, is smooth and cleanly transformed into English. There are other books of the Dalai Lama that are far more demanding ("tranforming the mind" for example), although few are more accesible.
A lovely gift,a wonderful introduction to one of the masters of the day.
