An introduction to the core of Buddhism by its greatest teacher, in this successor to the bestselling The Art of Happiness, the Dalai Lama's clear and simple guide to finding compassion and happiness.

The Dalai Lama shares some of his key teachings on the practice of compassion, presenting a collection of meditations designed to help listeners open their hearts when dealing with others, and introduces the fundamental philosophy of Buddhism and its core concepts.

"Tenzin Gyatso, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, presents a clear and simple guide to finding compassion and happiness in these often troubling and challenging times. The writings in this book are drawn from his enthusiastically received visit to America in 1999 and form a good introduction to the spiritual traditions of Buddhism." --Nicholas Sinisi, Barnes&Noble.com Religion Editor
