| CELEBRATING THE DALAI LAMA | His Holiness the Dalai Lama, spiritual leader of Tibet and one of the most beloved and recognized leaders of our time, turned 87 on Wednesday.
His Holiness is the fourteenth person to be recognized as a Dalai Lama, believed to be a manifestation of Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva of compassion. The self-proclaimed “simple monk” has dedicated his life to that spirit of compassion, and in turn has made a worldwide impact with his service as a statesman, spiritual teacher, and theologian. In this Weekend Reader we celebrate His Holiness and look at his life as inspiration for our own. These days, we need his wisdom more than ever.
Below, His Holiness describes how Buddhist teachings help us live a life of compassion, Buddhist teacher Roshi Joan Halifax shares a personal account of her time spent with him, and Lion’s Roar Editor-in-Chief Melvin McLeod sits down with him for an inspiring discussion on happiness and human goodness.
Happy Birthday, Dalai Lama!
