Book 3

In this presentation of Buddhist wisdom on death and dying, the Dalai Lama offers both his own thoughts on the end of life and the matchless insights of the Buddhist tradition regarding death. He combines straightforward lessons on living a good life through compassion, patience, wisdom, and effort with Buddhist teachings on the impermanence of existence, the acceptance of death, and the achievement of joy, peace, and spiritual wisdom.

A practical Buddhist instruction book to develop compassion in our daily lives. The Dalai Lama provides contemporary commentary on a classic 14th-century Tibetan poem entitled Rays of the Sun, Training of the Mind which is known for awakening compassion in the heart.
