A commentary on Atisha Dipamkara Shrijnana's A lamp for the Path to Enlightenment and Lama Je Tsong Khapa's Lines of experience

This book presents a clear and straightforward road map to how we might end our experience of suffering and discover happiness, drawn by the most celebrated spiritual master of Tibetan Buddhism: His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. In this insightful volume, not only does His Holiness describe what religion can contribute to mankind, but he also accentuates the significance of truly practising religion and understanding what it is that mankind really needs. Familiar for his ever-smiling face and his message of love, compassion and peace, he explains the three turnings of the wheel of dharma; the purpose and the means of generating the mind of enlightenment; and, the twelve links of dependent arising, among other things. This new title offers an easily accessible and illuminating glimpse into the core of Tibetan Buddhism.

„Scopul vieţii noastre este căutarea fericirii“, spunea Sanctitatea Sa Dalai Lama. Dar cum putem ajunge la o viaţă împlinită într-o lume dominată de suferinţă, violenţă, rasism, naţionalism, prejudecăţi, singurătate? Arta de a fi fericit într-o lume zbuciumată încearcă să găsească soluţii la această dilemă, împletind preceptele filozofiei budiste cu psihologia şi psihiatria modernă. În întâlnirile dintre dr Howard Cutler şi Dalai Lama, tonul e mereu pozitiv, proaspăt şi plin de speranţă: orice greutate poate fi depăşită dacă abordăm lucrurile dintr-o perspectivă optimistă, dar realistă. Prin empatie, solidaritate, restabilirea legăturilor cu semenii noştri şi înţelegerea valorilor comunităţii, ne regăsim pe noi înşine şi suntem fericiţi. „Dalai Lama discută diverse strategii pentru a învinge prejudecăţile şi convingerile stereotipe; ele includ contactul personal, educaţia şi perceperea celorlalţi ca indivizi... Sanctitatea Sa consideră că violenţa este înrădăcinată în emoţiile umane şi modurile de a gândi, şi socoteşte că frica reprezintă una dintre forţele care distrug cel mai mult fericirea umană... Dalai Lama ne indică paşii care trebuie urmaţi pentru a rezolva aceste probleme, cum ar fi încercarea de a-ţi împărtăşi temerile cu ceilalţi, anumite tehnici cognitive şi recursul la credinţă.“ ( Spirituality & Practice )

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.
