Infinite Life: Awakening to Bliss Within

A very inspiring book!
For folks interested in meditation, or who might need just a little boost in self-confidence, I heartily recommend this book. I've been interested in meditation and Buddhism for six years and have read many, many books on these subjects, but I've found few as inspiring ...

His Holiness the Dalai Lama

Atria, 2006

Words of Distilled Spiritual Wisdom
I am not a Buddhist but this book is definitely one of the finest books when one is searching for spiritual wisdom and life's guiding light. No, it is certainly not a religious book and meditations can be practiced outside of Buddhism. How to Expand Love by ...

Sierra Club Books, 1992

Riches to Rags
The first half of *Ancient Futures* will delight and amaze you; the second half will break your heart. In the 1970s, the Ladakhis of Little Tibet were a happy people. They had a sustainable traditional economy based on trade and cooperation - not money. One person's ...

Genuine Happiness: Meditation as the Path to Fulfillment

B. Alan Wallace

Wiley, 2005

more practice guide than academic discussion
I own several of Alan Wallace's books. I like them all. He presents information from a Western perspective, which I find easier to understand. Here there are specific meditation techniques presented in detail. You are encouraged to practice for a while at each ...

How to See Yourself As You Really Are

His Holiness the Dalai Lama

Atria, 2007

Mind-blowing...
Like a few other reviewers, I am in the beginning stages of my practice of Buddhism, and I have struggled with some of the concepts I have read about from other authors, lamas, and practitioners. However, when I read this book by the Dalai Lama, the veil was lifted ...

The Art Of Happiness: A Handbook For Living

His Holiness the Dalai Lama

Simon & Schuster Audio, 2000

It was great
I don't mean this in a negative way, but the Dalai Lama is one of the few people in this world who has the luxury of spending his days pondering enlightenment, what it takes to be happy, etc. The result is a book that rocks your world and makes you rediscover what ...

The Dalai Lama's Book of Transformation

His Holiness the Dalai Lama

Thorsons, 2001

Huge wisdom from a little tiny book
A wonderful companion book to the Dalai Lama's "Transforming the Mind." I keep this little book (be prepared: it's only about 4" square!) on my computer at work and refer to it in times of stress (about every half hour). "The Book of Transformation" has actually taken ...

Free Press, 2002

Dalai Lama's foreword

The Art of Happiness: A Handbook for Living

His Holiness The Dalai Lama, Howard C. Cutler

Riverhead Books, 1998

Simple yet profound
A very easy book to read and a great antidote to the excesses of our western life style of consumption and greed. It provides an easily digestible look at practical ways to live simply and happily. It can seem patronising and too simple in places, it discusses ...

I must confess, I picked up this book because it was just so lovely! It is nicely bound, on superb high quality glossy paper, with stunning photographs of Tibet. Everything about it just makes you want to cradle, or worship, it. Then there's the text. They took a ...
