Illustrated Teachings of the Dalai Lama - Geshe Thupten Jinpa

Illustrated Teachings of the Dalai Lama brings together for the first time in one, comprehensive volume some of the most important teachings of His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama. He teaches in a profound and accessible way the importance of the Four Noble Truths, providing a lucid explanation of the foundation of the Buddhist path as it applies to contemporary life in both the Eastern and Western world. As our headlines are increasingly dominated by hatred and violence his teachings inspire us to embrace the way of compassion and peace in our lives and to find a deeper satisfaction in every day.
His Holiness suggests how we can live peacefully with each other and the planet, providing ways to deal with anger and negative emotions and techniques to cultivate open-heartedness and compassion.
Photographer lan Cumming's images of landscapes and Tibetan people, both the monastic community and lay practitioners take the reader on a photographic journey into the heart of Buddhist practice. The photographs, which accompany rather than illustrate the text, help to deepen our appreciation of the context in which Tibetan Buddhism developed and to see how it is now practiced by those in Tibet as well as those in exile.
