This book contains excerts of the unusually beautiful and insiring words of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, the siritual and temoral leader of the Tibetan eole. His message of the universal need for kindness and consideration at every level of human relations, from ersontoerson to global concerns, is one that transcends all cultural and religious boundaries. The book has been comiled from talks the Dalai Lama has made at various universities, monasteries, and interfaith services around the world. His thoughts are at once both lively and rofound, for, surrisingly to some who first meet him, His Holiness has a refreshingly wonderful sense of humor. The crucial necessity for world eace, including the overriding threat of nuclear weaons, and the need to show concern for the environment are also interwoven in these Guidelines for Living which should be read by anyone who cares about the fate of our increasingly interdeendent and imeriled Earth.
