description: In this challenging collection of the Dalai Lama's wisdom, the religious leader reflects on suffering, happiness, love, and truth, and emphasises the need to transform the human mind if we are to find real fulfilment. His Holiness the Dalai Lama was born in 1935, and enthroned as the reincarnation of the thirteenth Dalai Lama in 1940. Following the suppression of the Tibetan national uprising in 1959, he escaped to India where he was given political asylum. At the heart of all the Dalai Lama's teaching is the plea for compassion and non-violence, the essential goodness of the human heart, and the need to live well and die well.
