The Wisdom Of Compassion

This is the Dalai Lama at his most human, and most humane. We see how he approaches the world with playfulness, optimism, and a profound empathy for the suffering of others. Through his own conduct, he shows us the tangible rewards of practicing kindness and forgiveness. And he demonstrates that opening our hearts and minds to tohers is the surest path to true happiness. The Wisdom of Compassion is an intensely personal potrait of the Dalai Lama. The story of his inspiring friendship with the blind Irishman - the only person he calls his hero - shows how one can overcome adversity. The Dalai Lama's collaboration with leading neuroscientists, psychologists and educators provides irrefutable evidence that an education grounded in altruism and compassion has far-reaching benefits. *This book may have minor shelfwear.
