The Way to a Meaningful Life.
There isn't much anyone can say about the content of His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama's pocket book on How To Practice The Way to a Meaningful Life. Either you “get” it or you don't. Either living a meaningful life matters to you, or it doesn't.
I have long enjoyed His Holiness' sense of humor & his ability to explain morality, meditation & wisdom or living right, walking the walk & talking the talk. More than that & he's way, way over my head.
Something happens to me, however, when I read & re-read portions of his words--a calmness, a clarity & a delightful giggle bubbles to the surface. It's one of the endearing aspects of this haloed soul--his readiness to chuckle at himself, at the fun of being human.
So if you are an ardent disciple or a novice wondering how this amazing man thinks & teaches the wisdom of his spirituality, How To Practice The Way to a Meaningful Life is an important & enchanting addition to your library.
Well worth the read, if for nothing other than listening to a person who lives & thinks entirely to bring comfort & clarity to our crazy species.
