Join Us in Celebrating the Life & Vision of the Dalai Lama

A Commemorative Edition Celebrating the Life and Vision of the Dalai Lama His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama is one of the most fascinating and admired figures of our time. We are honored to offer this special publication to celebrate his eighty-fifth birthday. When I interviewed His Holiness for this publication we talked of many things, but it was a profoundly simple teaching that I came away with, one that I have been contemplating ever since. The Dalai Lama spoke of all the superficial differences by which we judge each other, which he sees as the source of society’s problems. When he looks at people, he sees not how we differ but what we share: our longing for happiness, our need for love and affection, our inherent compassion and goodwill. He sees that in our hearts we are all the same, and we are basically good. When we can see others in this way, beyond the relative differences, we will see, as he does, that we are all brothers and sisters. I believe it is this lesson, simple and world-changing, that makes the Dalai Lama a teacher for humanity. Let us take it into our hearts.  —MELVIN MCLEOD, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF “My religion is kindness” With teachings and intimate glimpses into his life and impact from those who know him best, The Dalai Lama celebrates his extraordinary life, his many accomplishments, and the example of kindness and wisdom he sets for the world.    The Dalai Lama 85th Birthday Commemorative Edition is available to order now for convenient home delivery.
