A little book for those in search of words to calm and inspire. In this gift book His Holiness the Dalai Lama imparts his message: the importance of love, compassion and forgiveness.

The Sixth Ling Rinpoché (1903-83) was a towering figure in Tibetan Buddhism. Combining great learning with great humility, he was ordained by the Thirteenth Dalai Lama and went on to serve as the head of the Geluk tradition and as the senior tutor to the present Dalai Lama. In temperament and wisdom, he had a profound influence on the Dalai Lama's spiritual development, and he became a steadying presence for His Holiness during the chaotic changes that defined the Tibetan experience of the twentieth century, with the invasion of their county by Communist forces and the subsequent rebuilding of their culture in India. Ling Rinpoché's extensive travels among exiled communities abroad and across India buoyed the spirits of the Tibetan diaspora, and the training and activities of this consummate Buddhist master, here told by the Dalai Lama in the traditional Tibetan style, will inspire and amaze.

Though [the Dalai Lama] is one of the most erudite scholars ... he has a gift for reducing his doctrine to a core of lucid practicality, crystallized in the title of his book, Kindness, Clarity and Insight.--Time Magazine

Młodość bez rozterek Okres nastoletni stanowi w pewnym sensie punkt wyjścia do dalszego życia. To czas kształtowania osobowości, moralności, poglądów. To okres wyboru drogi życiowej – tematy, którymi się wówczas zainteresujesz, mogą skłonić Cię do podjęcia konkretnych studiów, wpłynąć na to, jak potoczy się Twoja kariera zawodowa i jaka będzie Twoja postawa wobec siebie i innych. Młodość to właściwy moment na zadawanie metafizycznych i egzystencjalnych pytań oraz poszukiwanie odpowiedzi. Pytasz wówczas: „Dlaczego? Jak? Po co? Czy to sprawiedliwe? Dobre? Słuszne?”. Kwestionujesz uznane wcześniej autorytety, ale równocześnie szukasz nowych. Dla milionów ludzi autorytetem i przewodnikiem życiowym jest Dalajlama. Jego dobroć, zaangażowanie w problemy świata, otwartość na innych sprawiają, że chcemy go słuchać i wyciągać wnioski z nauk, jakie nam daje. Szczególnie prawdy, jakie kieruje do młodych, są warte uwagi. Może dzięki nim uda Ci się oszczędzić sobie zamętu i bolesnych doświadczeń? Ta niewielka książeczka jest transkrypcją nauk Jego Świątobliwości XIV Dalajlamy przekazanych małej grupie uczniów. Nauki zostały zarejestrowane przez reprezentantów The Foundation for Universal Responsibility w marcu 1995 roku w Dharamsali. Spisał je Christian Jelen.
