Book description
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 others
Filled 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.
His Holiness the Dalai Lama is the spiritual leader of Tibet. Today,
he lives in exile in Northern India and works tirelessly on behalf of
the Tibetan people, as well as travelling the world to give spiritual
teachings to sell-out audiences. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in
1989.
