An instant New York Times bestsellerTwo spiritual giants. Five days. One timeless question.  Nobel Peace Prize Laureates His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu have survived more than fifty years of exile and the soul-crushing violence of oppression. Despite their hardships—or, as they would say, because of them—they are two of the most joyful people on the planet.In April 2015, Archbishop Tutu traveled to the Dalai Lama's home in Dharamsala, India, to celebrate His Holiness's eightieth birthday and to create what they hoped would be a gift for others. They looked back on their long lives to answer a single burning question: How do we find joy in the face of life's inevitable suffering?They traded intimate stories, teased each other continually, and shared their spiritual practices. By the end of a week filled with laughter and punctuated with tears, these two global heroes had stared into the abyss and despair of our time and revealed how to live a life brimming with joy.This book offers us a rare opportunity to experience their astonishing and unprecendented week together, from the first embrace to the final good-bye.We get to listen as they explore the Nature of True Joy and confront each of the Obstacles of Joy—from fear, stress, and anger to grief, illness, and death. They then offer us the Eight Pillars of Joy, which provide the foundation for lasting happiness. Throughout, they include stories, wisdom, and science. Finally, they share their daily Joy Practices that anchor their own emotional and spiritual lives.The Archbishop has never claimed sainthood, and the Dalai Lama considers himself a simple monk. In this unique collaboration, they offer us the reflection of real lives filled with pain and turmoil in the midst of which they have been able to discover a level of peace, of courage, and of joy to which we can all aspire in our own lives.

The Essence of Buddha: The Path to Enlightenment

The Essence of Buddha: The Path to Enlightenment

The essence of Buddha is about living a life with meaning and purpose. It offers a contemporary interpretation of the way to enlightenment, written by highly revered spiritual leader. The fundamental tenets of the Buddhist understanding of life, such as The Eightfold Path, The Six Paramitas and the Laws of Causality, are clearly explained in modern and accessible terms, along with the need for self-reflection, the nature of karma and reincarnation, and other teachings of the Buddha. Enlightenment is a potential achievement for every sentient being. The path towards it is an expansion of consciousness, moving from material concerns to an increaed awareness of the unseen spiritual reality. This, and the practice of a love that gives, rather than just expecting to be loved, is the only path to happiness, and a better world.

Buddhist Quotes: Meditation, Happiness, Inner Peace.: Spirituality and Buddhism: Bouddha, Zen, Thich Nhat Hanh, Dalaï-Lama... (Buddhism, Bouddha, ... & Spirituality, Dalaï Lama, Zen.) (Volume 1)

- Buddhism and Spirituality / Happiness and Peace of mind -Words are an interesting concept, they can elevate us and reveal the beauty of an imperceptible instant, describe a being's thought in a deep state of inspiration... They can also mislead us if we mingle them with the thing they describe...A quotation represents a condensation of the spirit, a condensation of the philosophy and attitude adopted and applied by the author in his thoughts, speeches and actions.Reading and understanding these thoughts can allow us to discover a new way of looking at the world, by widening our perception, we get a greater faculty to discern the most appropriate response in a given situation...In Buddhism in general and Zen in particular, it is said that a sentence, a word even, can awaken someone, while opening the door of knowledge and wisdom.Perhaps the reading of these sentences will open up unexplored dimension within you, perhaps you will have a moment of clear comprehension or perhaps you will have the desire to apply a certain attitude that would allow you to be more peaceful...Whatever the result of your reading, I am convinced that your life will be improved, that your desire to understand will be satisfied and that you will re-established the connection with your true self which is now waiting for only one thing, for you to continue reading in order to find deep within you, this familiar sensation to have found again this treasure buried and hidden deep down for too long...I wish you beautiful reunion with yourself, with the light, joy and love which are abundantly accessible and available within all of us, at any moment!
