Le Dalaï-Lama s'adresse à tous, bouddhistes ou non, sur des sujets très variés : religion, psychologie, sujets de société, politique... Chaque année, des milliers de bouddhistes se réunissent à Bodhgaya, une petite bourgade indienne proche de Bénarès. C'est l'occasion d'un grand moment d'enseignement où Sa Sainteté répond directement aux questions de la nombreuse assemblée, avec le charisme, la sérénité et la clarté qui le caractérisent. Ici sont présentés cinq entretiens faisant référence. Ils ont tous une qualité commune, à savoir la profondeur des propos, et font le tour des grandes préoccupations humaines, tant religieuses que laïques. Le Dalaï-Lama s'exprime avec une érudition vive, multiple et curieuse de tout. A l'entendre on est persuadé que l'espoir reste une denrée précieuse et le bonheur, sans doute, un long chemin.

Qu'est-ce que la communication ? Un échange avec les autres ? Un dialogue avec soi-même ? Et à quoi sert-elle ? A exister en société ? A être plus heureux ? A évoluer intérieurement ?Plus on cherche à définir l'acte de communiquer, plus on s'aperçoit qu'il recouvre le champ même de nos vies, tissé de dits et de non-dits qui remontent parfois très loin et ne cessent de nous questionner. Jacques Salomé, l'auteur entre autres de , a rassemblé les avis de ses amis spécialistes de la question. Avec ferveur, ils nous transmettent les secrets de cet échange qui pourrait devenir communion.

Dans cet ouvrage, issu d'un séminaire sur la patience, Sa Sainteté le Dalaï-Lama enseigne à chacun comment dominer son indignation, sa rage devant l'injustice ou l'insulte, pour acquérir la sérénité. Si la philosophie bouddhiste demeure ici sous-jacente, ce livre s'adresse à tous les hommes de bonne volonté auxquels il donne les moyens de maîtriser l'ego si prompt à s'enflammer. Détecter le mal, en comprendre les racines, les effets, les cycles, les désamorcer, reconnaître ses propres symptômes, permet de dégager les voies qui conduisent à l'équilibre.

Opening the Eye of New Awareness is a succinct, thorough overview of the doctrines of Buddhism as they have been practiced for a thousand years in Tibet. The Dalai Lama here discusses the need for religious practice and the importance of kindness and compassion. Originally written for Tibetan lay people, this was the Dalai Lama's first book on Buddhist philosophy to appear in English, and Prof. Lopez's new introduction places these teachings in their proper historical context. This is an invaluable handbook for both personal use and academic study of the Buddhist path."Written for both Tibetan and Western readers, Opening the Eye of New Awareness is the Dalai Lama's first religious work. It is not an edited transcript of public lectures, but is His Holliness' own summation of Buddhist doctrine and practice. Completed in 1963, just four years after his escape from Tibet and four years after completing his religious education, it is a work of consummate scholarship by a twenty-seven year-old geshe, wise beyond his years. Nowhere in his many subsequent works does one find a more clear and concise exposition of the essentials of Buddhist thought. Indeed, all of His Holinesss's many publications are in some sense commentaries on this first book.

This book addresses some of the most fundamental and troublesome questions that have driven a wedge between the realms of Western science and religion for centuries.

Avec un sens aigu du dialogue interreligieux, le Dalaï-lama commente ici les Evangiles. Fort de la sagesse bouddhiste, il interprète le coeur de la révélation chrétienne. Tout en soulignant les convergences exceptionnelles des deux traditions, il marque aussi les différences et les points de séparation.

" De nombreuses philosophies du bonheur ont vu le jour. La plupart, cependant, restent matérialistes. Elles montrent un manque de connaissance surprenant de la mort, ainsi que des processus spirituels qui permettent d'aborder l'après-mort avec courage et compétence. " Dans ce livre fondamental pour la compréhension du bouddhisme, le Dalaï-Lama analyse un texte renommé de l'un de ses prédécesseurs, le troisième Dalaï-Lama, pour nous éclairer sur l'essence de la vie. Il nous rappelle que la voie de la lumière passe par quelques grands sujets de méditation : " la certitude de la mort, l'incertitude du moment de la mort et la vérité qu'au moment de la mort seuls nos progrès spirituels ont de la valeur. "
