      This book presents a clear and straightforward road map to how we might end our experience of suffering and discover happiness, drawn by the most celebrated spiritual master of Tibetan Buddhism: His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. In this insightful volume, not only does His Holiness describe what religion can contribute to mankind, but he also accentuates the significance of truly practising religion and understanding what it is that mankind really needs. Familiar for his ever-smiling face and his message of love, compassion and peace, he explains the three turnings of the wheel of dharma; the purpose and the means of generating the mind of enlightenment; and, the twelve links of dependent arising, among other things. This new title offers an easily accessible and illuminating glimpse into the core of Tibetan Buddhism.

      A renowned wilderness photographer and a prominent spiritual leader present a stunning exploration of Tibet through dramatic images and insightful essays. The Fourteenth Dalai Lama shares his reflections on Tibet's revered yet threatened heritage. At just fifteen, he witnessed the Chinese invasion in 1950, leading to his appeal to the United Nations and a perilous escape across the Himalayas. Tibet's desire for isolation had kept its cultural and natural treasures hidden from the world, and the Dalai Lama's efforts to maintain peace and protect his people's ways culminated in his exile to India in 1959, where he established a government in exile. As the Chinese began allowing limited access to Tibet in the 1980s, the devastation of the occupation became apparent: most monasteries were destroyed, wildlife vanished, and a significant portion of the population perished. Despite this bleak reality, the Dalai Lama, viewed as an incarnation of the Buddha of compassion, advocates for nonviolence and kindness as solutions to Tibet's struggles. His message emphasizes the interconnectedness of world peace, happiness, and environmental responsibility. The Dalai Lama shares personal anecdotes from his early life in Lhasa and reflects on pilgrimage's significance in Tibetan Buddhism. Accompanied by 108 breathtaking photographs, this work preserves the essence of Tibet's culture, religion, and natural heritage, affirming that its mystery an

      Le Dalaï-Lama s'adresse à tous, bouddhistes ou non, sur des sujets très variés : religion, psychologie, sujets de société, politique... Chaque année, des milliers de bouddhistes se réunissent à Bodhgaya, une petite bourgade indienne proche de Bénarès. C'est l'occasion d'un grand moment d'enseignement où Sa Sainteté répond directement aux questions de la nombreuse assemblée, avec le charisme, la sérénité et la clarté qui le caractérisent. Ici sont présentés cinq entretiens faisant référence. Ils ont tous une qualité commune, à savoir la profondeur des propos, et font le tour des grandes préoccupations humaines, tant religieuses que laïques. Le Dalaï-Lama s'exprime avec une érudition vive, multiple et curieuse de tout. A l'entendre on est persuadé que l'espoir reste une denrée précieuse et le bonheur, sans doute, un long chemin.

      Qu'est-ce que la communication ? Un échange avec les autres ? Un dialogue avec soi-même ? Et à quoi sert-elle ? A exister en société ? A être plus heureux ? A évoluer intérieurement ?Plus on cherche à définir l'acte de communiquer, plus on s'aperçoit qu'il recouvre le champ même de nos vies, tissé de dits et de non-dits qui remontent parfois très loin et ne cessent de nous questionner. Jacques Salomé, l'auteur entre autres de , a rassemblé les avis de ses amis spécialistes de la question. Avec ferveur, ils nous transmettent les secrets de cet échange qui pourrait devenir communion.
