Book description
The Dalai Lama visited New York in 2003 and gave a series of
lectures, culminating with a public talk in Central Park, which drew
over a quarter of a million people. Based on these lectures, this new
volume will provide practical instruction on how we can use meditation
to realise the mind's phenomenal potential. It will also lead the
reader through the diverse schools of Buddhist philosophy, teaching us
how to let go of our own strong ideas of self and how to find a little
more happiness in life, for ourselves and for others. For all the
millions of fans of the Dalai Lama's writings, and for anyone yet to
be introduced to his thinking, Training the Mind is the
perfect book to learn how to dedicate our positive activities to the
benefit of all in order to build a better world.
His Holiness the Dalai Lama, the exiled religious and temporal
leader of Tibet and winner of the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize, is
recognised internationally as a spiritual leader and statesman. He
lives in Dharamsala, India.
Nicholas Vreeland has been a practicing Tibetan Buddhist monk
since 1985, when he was ordained by the Dalai Lama. Since 1998 he has
been the Director of the Tibet Center.
