Two leading thinkers engage in a landmark conversation about human emotions and the pursuit of psychological fulfillmentAt their first meeting, a remarkable bond was sparked between His Holiness the Dalai Lama, one of the world's most revered spiritual leaders, and the psychologist Paul Ekman, whose groundbreaking work helped to define the science of emotions. Now these two luminaries share their thinking about science and spirituality, the bonds between East and West, and the nature and quality of our emotional lives.In this unparalleled series of conversations, the Dalai Lama and Ekman prod and push toward answers to the central questions of emotional experience. What are the sources of hate and compassion? Should a person extend her compassion to a torturer-and would that even be biologically possible? What does science reveal about the benefits of Buddhist meditation, and can Buddhism improve through engagement with the scientific method? As they come to grips with these issues, they invite us to join them in an unfiltered view of two great traditions and two great minds.Accompanied by commentaries on the findings of emotion research and the teachings of Buddhism, their interplay-amusing, challenging, eye-opening, and moving-guides us on a transformative journey in the understanding of emotions.

Un libro único en el que dos Premios Nobel de la Paz comparten sus pensamientos, creencias y espiritualidad.«La fuente última de la felicidad reside en nosotros.»Su santidad el Dalai Lama«Nuestra bondad crece cuando se la pone a prueba.» Arzobispo Desmond TutuEl laureado Premio Nobel de la Paz, Su Santidad el Dalai Lama, y el arzobispo Desmond Tutu han sobrevivido a más de cincuenta años de exilio, a varias persecuciones e incluso a situaciones de desgarradora violencia. A pesar de sus sufrimientos o como ellos dirían, «gracias a ellos» son dos de las personas más alegres del planeta.En abril del año 2015, el arzobispo Tutu viajó a casa del Dalai Lama en Dharamsala, India, para acompañarlo en la celebración de su ochenta aniversario. Aprovechando la ocasión se dispusieron a crear algo que, esperaban, se convirtiera en un regalo para otros. Mirando atrás en sus largas vidas se propusieron responder a una única y candente pregunta:¿Cómo podemos encontrar la alegría mientras afrontamos el inevitable sufrimiento de la vida?En el transcurso de aquella semana, ambos intercambiaron historias, bromearon y compartieron sus prácticas espirituales. Tras esos días llenos de risas, y algunas lágrimas, estos dos héroes mundiales miraron en el abismo y la desesperación de nuestros tiempos y encontraron la manera de vivir una vida llena de alegría.Este libro nos ofrece la inusual oportunidad de compartir con estos dos grandes hombres la sorprendente y original semana que pasaron juntos, desde el primer abrazo hasta la despedida final. Los escucharemos mientras exploran la naturaleza de la verdadera alegría y se enfrentan a todas sus barreras desde el miedo y el estrés y la rabia y el dolor hasta la enfermedad y la muerte y aprenderemos de sus «Ocho pilares de la alegría», que nos proporcionan recursos para una felicidad duradera.El arzobispo nunca ha proclamado su santidad, y el Dalai Lama se considera a sí mismo un simple monje. En esta colaboración única, nos ofrecen las reflexiones de unas vidas llenas de dolor y desorden en medio de las cuales han sido capaces de descubrir un estado de paz, coraje y alegría que puede inspirarnos en nuestra propia vida.El libro de la alegría no es solo una muestra de la profunda sabiduría de estos dos grandes líderes sino también de su humanidad, humor y pasión por la vida y los seres humanos.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONAn instant New York Times bestsellerTwo great spiritual masters share their own hard-won wisdom about living with joy even in the face of adversity.The occasion was a big birthday. And it inspired two close friends to get together in Dharamsala for a talk about something very important to them. The friends were His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. The subject was joy. Both winners of the Nobel Prize, both great spiritual masters and moral leaders of our time, they are also known for being among the most infectiously happy people on the planet.From the beginning the book was envisioned as a three-layer birthday cake: their own stories and teachings about joy, the most recent findings in the science of deep happiness, and the daily practices that anchor their own emotional and spiritual lives. Both the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Tutu have been tested by great personal and national adversity, and here they share their personal stories of struggle and renewal. Now that they are both in their eighties, they especially want to spread the core message that to have joy yourself, you must bring joy to others.Most of all, during that landmark week in Dharamsala, they demonstrated by their own exuberance, compassion, and humor how joy can be transformed from a fleeting emotion into an enduring way of life.

The Wisdom of Compassion offers rare insights into the Dalai Lama's life as he interacts with remarkable people from all walks of life.

Mahamudra, the great sealing nature, refers to systems of meditation on both the conventional and ultimate natures of the mind. These have been transmitted through the Kagyu, Sakya, and Gelug traditions of Tibetan Buddhism. Within the Gelug, Mahamudra teachings occur in a combined Gelug/Kagyu tradition exemplified in the First Panchen Lama's Root Text for the Precious Gelug/Kagyu Tradition of Mahamudra. The work presented here contains two brilliant commentaries by the Dalai Lama. The first is a teaching based directly on the First Panchen Lama's root text. In the second, His Holiness bases his discussion on the First Panchen Lama's own commentary to this text. The book opens with an overview of Mahamudra by Alexander Berzin that discusses the relation of mind appearances and reality and offers practical techniques for overcoming problems of excessive worry, anxiety, and disturbing thoughts. This treasury of practical instruction contains extensive teachings on the nature of mind, the development of shamata, sutra and tantra levels of Mahamudra, and the compatibility of Dzogchen and Anuttarayoga Tantra.

The Dalai Lama's message in this book is as renowned as he is himself: that compassion is essential for individuals and for the world. This is very much his subject for, when we think of His Holiness, we immediately think of the compassion he embodies, and to which he has devoted his entire life.He suggests we pay close attention to the way we respond to everyone and to everything around us, and explains how caring for others can be a profound source of happiness on an individual level, which can then be extended outward in wider and wider circles. From here, he goes on to describe basic mistakes (such as hatred towards others) that lead us into personal turmoil and interpersonal disruption. Then he asks us to examine the nature of consciousness so we understand how the transformation of our attitude is possible. Finally, in typically practical fashion, he suggests how we can implement compassion in our daily lives, and go on to live with greater care and concern for all beings.

In this accessible book, His Holiness the Dalai Lama considers such well-known Gospel passages as the Sermon on the Mount, the Healing of the Sick and the Resurrection. He offers fresh perspectives on these familiar Christian sources of faith, and also considers such widespread concerns as inner transformation, meditation, ritual, and the ideas of reward and punishment, heaven and hell. His exploration of the similarities and differences between Buddhism and Christianity gives us a model of dialogue for the coming era of global spirituality, which will open the windows of understanding for the modern spiritual seeker of any faith.

In Stages of Meditation, His Holiness offers his highly practical views on the subject of meditation: how to meditate, the various different procedures and approaches we can take, what we and others may gain from it. He explains how we can develop a spiritual path in a proper sequence rather than in a scattered, piecemeal fashion. He also shows the importance of building up both method and wisdom, as well as cultivating compassion and 'special insight' as we train our minds. This impressive and stimulating book will not only bring the Dalai Lama - one of the world's most popular and pragmatic spiritual leaders - to a huge new audience but, because so many people round the globe are now practising meditation, from a basis of religious faith or none, this is a work which will doubtless be in print for many years to come.

From the teachings of the world-renowned Buddhist leader, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, comes a practical, seven-step guidebook for developing your love for others and transforming each and every one of your relationships in life.Widening the Circle of Love offers readers a simple and illuminating programme for transforming self-centred energy into outwardly directed concern. Basing his views on the human capacity to improve, and drawing on exercises and techniques established in India and then refined in Tibetan monasteries over more than a thousand years, the Dalai Lama's teachings are supremely relevant to our lives today: The First Step: Recognising Friends The Second Step: Appreciating Kindness The Third Step: Returning Kindness The Fourth Step: Learning to Love The Fifth Step: The Power of Compassion The Sixth Step: Total Commitment The Seventh Step: Using the above in the service of othersFilled with personal anecdotes from His Holiness's own experiences, as well as centuries-old wisdom, Widening the Circle of Love is a major book which will rival the Dalai Lama's seminal - and bestselling - The Art of Happiness in offering us an accessible, practical path towards personal growth.

Desmond Tutu og Dalai Lama har begge viet deres liv til fredelig modstand mod enhver form for undertrykkelse. Men trods den megen lidelse de har set og mærket, også på egen krop, ha de begge bevaret en helt utrolig glæde - varm, boblende og smitsom, hvad enhver, der har oplevet dem tale, kan bevidne. Med GLÆDENS BOG mødes de for at dele deres erfaringer og tanker om glæde og lykke med resten af verden. Bogen bygger på deres mangeårige venskab, deres erfaringer og forskellige tro. Desuden har de i arbejdet med bogen modtaget spørgsmål fra læsere over hele jorden om glæde og lykke, som de har udfordret hinanden med. En inspirerende, varm og kærlig bog om at finde glædens udspring i sit eget indre. Dalai Lama er tibetanernes åndelige leder. Siden han i 1959 måtte flygte fra Tibet, har han rejst rundt i verden for at fremme ikke-vold og international forståelse ud fra sin buddhistiske grundholdning. Et arbejde han i 1989 fik Nobels Fredspris for. Desmond Tutu er tidligere ærkebiskop over Cape Town i Sydafrika. Han har modtaget Nobels Fredspris for sit årelange arbejde under apartheid, og i 1994 blev han udpeget som formand for den sydafrikanske Sandheds- og forsoningskommission.

More and more people feel so overwhelmed by the trouble the world is facing today that they don’t know where to begin – so they do the worst thing of all – NOTHING. We have become our own worst nightmare. The good news is that you can save the world – and prosper – just by being you. It is so simple. Stop complaining about how bad it is and start utilizing your circle of influence instead. It is not important how much you do. What matters is that you do the best you can with what you have. One person, one nation, or even one continent cannot solve the serious trouble that the world is facing today. We all must pull together – all 6.8 billion of us. It seems as if the world is spinning out of control with financial crises, climate change, and wars. Everywhere you look, something crazy is going on. We have become obese, overloaded with information, and most of us have lost track of why we are even here. How can we regain a meaningful life? That is the core question that Sebastian Nybo examines in this book, and his answer is as simple as it is efficient: Just be true to what you know is right. He believes that we all have an ethical awareness encoded in our DNA and that this innate ability can serve as a behavioral compass in our everyday lives. The key is to understand that you have to believe it in order to see it. Sebastian Nybo has included a series of interviews that he conducted with His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, who is an outstanding example of someone who has really tried to do the best he can with what he has – regardless of the odds. Sebastian Nybo has woven together the wisdom and spirituality of His Holiness with his own knowledge of human evolution and positive psychology, and thereby created a powerful antidote to the stress of modern life.
