At age 16, His Holiness was called upon to assume full political power as Head of State and Government when Tibet was threatened by the might of China. His efforts to bring about a peaceful resolution to the Sino-Tibetan conflict were thwarted and the resistance movement in Tibet was finally crushed by the Chinese army in Since then, some 80, refugees have followed The Dalai Lama into exile.
What makes the Dalai Lama unique has been his embrace of the west. As a scholar-practitioner, he has made numerous trips over the last 30 years to different countries, spreading his message of peace. He has met with various political and religious leaders, including U. In recent years the world has been blessed with a series of books written by the Dalai Lama, each focusing on various strands of faith-based living and how to practice a happier more harmonious life.

EMBED for wordpress. I had to consider that maybe I wasn't the problem in those 10 years of mediocre results.
Maybe it was my prior strategies that were ineffective, despite being oft-repeated as "the way to change" in countless books. By: Stephen Guise. On The Power of Vulnerability, Dr. Brown offers an invitation and a promise - that when we dare to drop the armor that protects us from feeling vulnerable, we open ourselves to the experiences that bring purpose and meaning to our lives.
Here she dispels the cultural myth that vulnerability is weakness and reveals that it is, in truth, our most accurate measure of courage. The talk is not entirely linear. And he spends some time speaking in English, then speaks in his native tongue with the help of an interpreter. Two great spiritual masters share their own hard-won wisdom about living with joy even in the face of adversity. The occasion was a big birthday. And it inspired two close friends to get together in Dharamsala for a talk about something very important to them.
The subject was joy. Both winners of the Nobel Prize, both great spiritual masters and moral leaders of our time, they are also known for being among the most infectiously happy people on the planet. From the beginning the book was envisioned as a three-layer birthday cake: their own stories and teachings about joy, the most recent findings in the science of deep happiness, and the daily practices that anchor their own emotional and spiritual lives.
Both the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Tutu have been tested by great personal and national adversity, and here they share their personal stories of struggle and renewal. Now that they are both in their 80s, they especially want to spread the core message that to have joy yourself, you must bring joy to others. Most of all, during that landmark week in Dharamsala, they demonstrated by their own exuberance, compassion, and humor how joy can be transformed from a fleeting emotion into an enduring way of life.
An intimate glimpse into the minds of two of the world's spiritual guides, and their foundation for an attainable and practical approach to experiencing a more enriching and sustainable life of abundant joy. This book is amazing! Best purchase of hands down! I am the happiest person I know and this book made me even happier! Despite the fact that they represent perspectives of two different religions, they compliment each other beautifully. Both leaders come from extremely violent environments Tutu prayed for the oppressors in South Africa and the Dalai Lama found beauty in being exiled from his home for over 50 years now.
Read this book and any problems you think you have, any anger you hold towards others, will be calmed. Both leaders end with meditations and prayers to improve your life as well as the life of those around you.
Buy this book I'm about to listen to it again. The headline is not hyperbole. I started reading this book in November when my decades long battle with depression was making its usual cycle. This was exacerbated by political upheaval in the United States. I was struggling and suffering as so many of us have. The words and wisdom shared in this book reminded me of concepts of humanity I was forgetting in my fog.
I love this book so much that I ordered 12 copies to share with people I love. I'll probably be ordering another 12 more to continue sharing the joy. Audio Software icon An illustration of a 3.

Absolutely captivating. I loved the dialogue as well as the narrative. Extremely relevant during these tumultuous times. I wish there more leaders that contained the moral fiber of these two gentleman. This book pointed my life in the right direction! I constantly recognize joy and try to show appreciation for life. Recognizing thoughts as just thoughts and embarking on my own joy filled journey.
