5.0 out of 5 stars How to Practice: The Way to a Meaningful Life (His Holiness, 24 Nov 2003
By E. S. Guthrie "eddiebix" (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: How to Practice: The Way to a Meaningful Life (His Holiness the Dalai Lama) (Paperback)
An excellent book, others give a simple philosophy of buddism this does this but also touches on the background, ideals and meditation etc for those who want to go a little further. It is an ideal stepping stone ,from books aimed at everyone based on ethics rather than buddism to those interestred in buddism as well as the philosophy. I would certainly reccomend this book

3.0 out of 5 stars Good enough but other books are better..., 13 Jul 2004
This review is from: How to Practice: The Way to a Meaningful Life (His Holiness the Dalai Lama) (Paperback)
I have a LOT of respect for the Dalai Lama and he is a bit of a hero of mine. I love the way he promotes religious unity and his creed of compassion is a good one. Which brought me to buy this book.

A lot of what is contained within this book is excellent advice i.e. how to develop one's mind and psyche to be more receptive to compassionate thoughts. It also explains how negative thoughts such as hate, anger and jealousy is bad for our state of mind. There is alot of interesting topics showing the connection between thoughts and feelings which actually parallels Cognitive Behaviour Therapy in the West.

So why did I give it three stars. Well you see I had also read "The Art of Happiness" by Howard Cutler and the Dalai Lama and that (I feel) is a much more applicable book to us who are not interested in becoming Budhists. Most of the "How to Practice.." book assumes the Budhist way e.g. the book assumes the existence of re-incarnation. Although he does briefly mention that one can utilise the techniques in one's own faith or belief system but it is left up to the reader to figure out how.

The final section on wisdom really does get down to a deep level in the Budhist tradition. It was interesting from an objective and educational point of view but not very helpful in learning how to be more compassionate.

I would advise people, who wish to learn how to live a better and happier life from the Dalai Lama but don't want to follow deep existential Budhist beliefs, to read "The Art of Happiness" instead.

This is only my personal view. It really depends on what you are looking for.

Allen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Divine, 22 Jun 2007
By Gypsy (Iceland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Practice: The Way to a Meaningful Life (Audio CD)
I have always had the greatest respect and admiration for Dalai Lama. His story and his experience is an inspiration for us all.
This book gives you guidelines and exercises on how to gain a peace of mind in a stressful environment, respect in communicating with others and the unnecessary of anger and irritation amongst other useful and positive things. If everyone would read this book and use these guidelines we would have a much better world.

This is actually the first audio book that I have bought and I really recommend it. I do not have much free time in my life so i have been listening whilst driving back and forth from work. It always puts my mind to a calmer and more peaceful state. In short it gives you some sort of a feeling of happiness and joy. The messages must be right.
