THE FUTURE IS NOW is a simple, beautiful book of 108 sayings from His Holiness the 17th Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje. The Karmapa is a very impressive,powerful and compassionate teacher who visited the United States for the first time last year. The book contains many wonderful photographs that compliment the Karmapa's insights on all aspects of life. This would be a great gift book. Highly recommended.

H.H. the 17th Karmapa created a beautiful book that makes an ideal present for young people. His remarkable approach to 'translate' traditional Buddhist teachings into currently used language that reaches young people of all cultural backgrounds hopefully inspires more youngsters to learn about the Dharma and to reflect on their responsibilities for themselves and for our planet. Each essential piece of advice is accompanied by an impressive picture or image, which makes this book a precious artistic creation.

This is a beautiful book, full of excellent photography and meaningful, profound quotes from His Holiness the Seventeenth Karmapa, which help to connect our world with the timeless teachings of Buddhism.

This is an Amazing Book! It is easy-to-read, has great photos, and give us a glimpse of the ideas of His Holiness, the 17th Karmapa. I met the Karmapa last year in India. He was a gifted leader, very tall, very knowledgeable.

The Karmapa is the Tiger Woods of Buddhism. Youthful, energetic, and ready to lead.
