Beschreibung:
Seine Heiligkeit der 14. Dalai Lama, wurde am 6. Juli 1935 geboren. Nach der Besetzung Tibets durch China 1959 floh der Dalai Lama nach Indien, von wo aus er sich seitdem für ein unabhängiges Tibet einsetzt. 1989 wurde er mit dem Friedensnobelpreis geehrt. 2011 übergibt er die politische Führung Tibets an Lobsang Songay, der von Exiltibetern zum Ministerpräsidenten der Exilregierung in freier Wahl gewählt wurde. Der Dalai Lama will jetzt nur noch »einfacher Mönch« sein.
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.
