Purchase options and add-ons

The Dalai Lama serves as a living symbol of holiness and selfless triumph over tribulation for people of all religious traditions-as well as those with no religious affiliation at all. This collection of daily quotations drawn from His Holiness's own writings, teachings, and interviews offers words of guidance, compassion, and peace that are as down to earth as they are rich in spirit. Suffused with endearing informality, warmth, and practicality, they cover almost every aspect of human life, secular and religious--from loneliness, suffering, anger, and everyday insecurities to happiness, intimacy, and responsibility to others. With a special foreword by His Holiness on the power of meditation and personal responsibility, The Path to Tranquility is a fresh and accessible spiritual treasure to return to day after day, year after year.

A reviewer's path

Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2007

Verified Purchase

This reviewer finds that the product works quite well for reminding him about the spiritual side to life, but wishes the wisdom would continue for more than three CD's, as they seem a bit short. Repeating the albums works for some time, but the reviewer gets distracted by music stations and songs such as Black Sabbath's "I Sold my Soul for Rock and Roll", which do nothing for the reviewer's spiritual growth but he finds that it is a timeless classic.

All in all, this is recommended for keeping yourself in touch with more important things, like self development, and inner awareness. It also inspired the reviewer to learn more about Buddhism, but found that he could not force himself to believe that there is more than one lifetime for each creature. He couldn't discount the notion, but nor was he able to prove it to himself.

So the path continues...

Daily non-religious wisdom for developing a gentle soul

Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2015

Verified Purchase

This book hasn't arrived yet but I already have a copy and am buying it for my friends. It is such a sweet book of daily wisdom. Not devotionals; not religious; just information about what's going on in the world and how an individual can take a tiny step to help and, thereby, become at peace with oneself and others. I'm not one to preach anything; but sometimes a book comes along gives me an early morning thought which carries me through the day. And I want my friends to share in that pleasure. The daily statements are short and concise and thought-provoking.

The book looks like it’s new! I was very impressed.

Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2013

Verified Purchase

I like the book so far, but haven't read much of it yet. I ordered the hard cover, and was caught by surprise by what, before some research, looked like a manufacturing defect to me. The hard cover version of this book has what is called a "Deckle edge". The book is perfectly functional as far as books go, but had I known this ahead of time, I probably would have gone for the paperback.

A Really Positive Daily Read

Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2007

Verified Purchase

I love the Dalai Lama's teachings and writings, so I already knew I would probably like this book. I have truly enjoyed this one, and I continue to every day. Each day, the book offers a short but very insightful piece of wisdom. It makes you think and feel good to read it, and over time it becomes easier to see things in a better light. I found myself feeling more calm, not fretting the small things, enjoying little moments more. I would recommend this to anyone, of any religion, who wants to think more positively about life in general.

I am happy to have any book with wisdom from the Dalai Lama. This is a little gem with a paragraph of wisdom to enlighten each day of the year. I have a few books that I read a little out of each morning and I am pleased to add this to my daily routine.

Excellent book that will stir your soul to keep love, peace, and joy in your soul and share the same with humanity.

Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2015

Verified Purchase

I bought this book many, many years ago and it was sitting on my bookshelf until about 3 years ago when I was ready to receive and understand what this book has to offer. I have read daily since then as part of my daily devotion. I bought an additional copy as a gift and recommends it to all like minded people.

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2013

Verified Purchase

Learning about his teachings gives us a different perspective of life because he lives a lovable compassionate life in a world of war and hate. It's up to us to become a better person. Love and compassion is not something to question but to give and receive.
I recommend any of his books.

Thank you Dalai Lama for sharing your experiences with us.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 1, 2014

Verified Purchase

I bought this for two friends, one who had got a little lost from the path, this helped her to re-open to spiritual concepts and ideas again. The other is dyslexic and finds books difficult to digest. She loved this. The dalai lama always puts things in a way that are easy to understand, he has a real gift in imparting deep knowledge with simplicity.
