4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, 17 Oct 2001
By A Customer
In this small book the Dalai Lama speaks of compassion, anger, forgiveness of enemies, and living life in a truly more loving way. Though much of it seems familar to western ears [the ideas of love compassion and service are not unknown in western religion and philosophy], the simplicity of much of what the dalai lama says is refreshing. His own struggles with anger are interesting, and the prose, gleaned from past lectures, smooth and clean. I also highly recommend "Open Your Mind, Open Your Life: A Little Book of Eastern Wisdom" by Taro Gold which I found wonderfully enlightening.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent little gem giving inspiration and insight., 28 May 2001
By A Customer
The power and insight given by this little gem of a book comes from the simplicity of the Dalai Lama's words. His words and explanations speak directly to your heart showing how to bring love, peace and creative energy into the world. This little book is small enough to carry in your pocket - I find that whenever I need uplifting or inspiration I open it to exactly the right page!

5.0 out of 5 stars A little gem, 9 April 2004
By Petite Fleur (England or France depending on the weather :o)) - See all my reviews
A perfect little book, so tiny yet full on easy to digest text from the most inspirational man. If you have an interest in Buddhism but are worried it will all be too much to take on board, this along with the Dalai Lama's other little books will give you the perfect start. You will want to read all his books once you start.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute and small
I keep this book in my bag and read a couple of pages now and then. Not really an introduction to Buddhism, but I'd say it covers most of it's core values.

2.0 out of 5 stars Overly brief and trite...
This is a book of fortune cookie style utterances. It'll teach you little about Buddhism and is more of a novelty item. Read more
