This beautiful keepsake edition of His Holiness’s classic essay is updated and expanded for today’s world, with a new foreword from Richard Gere and beautiful, intimate photographs of His Holiness.
In this moving book, His Holiness the Dalai Lama shares his perspective on the urgent question facing the world today: How do we make our societies more humane, just, and equitable?
“I firmly believe that each of us can contribute to making this world a better place now and in the future. I appeal to everyone who shares a concern for lasting world peace to cultivate a sense of universal responsibility and an appreciation that only on the basis of kind-heartedness will we lead a meaningful life and make our societies more compassionate and just. Let us be compassionate, not just to our friends and family, but to everyone.”
—His Holiness the Dalai Lama
Created to commemorate the occasion of His Holiness’s ninetieth birthday, this little book is a monument to honor a life spent ceaselessly calling for peace and tolerance, as well as a clarion call to all citizens of the world. As Richard Gere writes in the foreword, “The healing has begun if we want it.
