Live in a Better Way

Imbued with a friendly tone and pithy wisdom, this handsome handbook to approaching life "in a better way" includes six of His Holiness The Dalai Lama's most accessible and inspirational public lectures. Following each talk are the original question-and-answer sessions in which His Holiness opens himself up to his listeners and-now-to readers everywhere. His characteristically candid guidance on living fully and responsibly, especially at the start of a new millennium, focuses on specific themes that range from religious tolerance to compassion and nonviolence. The book also includes a practical and highly readable introduction to Buddhism and The Dalai Lama's own spiritual heritage, written by the renowned Lama Thubten Zopa Rinpoche.

First sentence: IN 1976, my precious teacher, the late Lama Thubten Yeshe (1935-84), who was kinder than the Buddhas of the past, present and future, decided to establish a Buddhist center in Delhi to help repay the kindness of the Indian people in providing the dharma to Tibet.
