The Dalai Lama Ordre des livres (chronologique)

His Holiness the Dalai Lama presents the perfect introduction to traditional Tibetan Buddhist thought and practice, covering the Four Noble Truths and two essential texts. There is no one more suited to introduce beginners—and remind seasoned practitioners—of the fundamentals of Tibetan Buddhism than His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Speaking to an audience of Western students, the Dalai Lama shows us how to apply basic Buddhist principles to our day-to-day lives. Starting with the very foundation of Buddhism, the Four Noble Truths, he provides the framework for understanding the Buddha’s first teachings on suffering, happiness, and peace. He follows with commentary on two of Buddhism’s most profound texts: The Eight Verses on Training the Mind and Atisha’s Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment, often referring to the former as one of his main sources of inspiration for the practice of compassion. With clear, accessible language and the familiar sense of humor that infuses nearly all of his work, the Dalai Lama invites us all to develop innermost awareness, a proper understanding of the nature of reality, and heartfelt compassion for all beings. This book was previously published under the title Lighting the Way.

The Dalai Lama reveals how training the mind in compassion for other beings is directly related to—and a prerequisite for—the very pinnacle of Buddhist meditation The heart of meditation—the thing that brings it alive—is compassion. This is not an ordinary compassion but one that is developed and expanded in parallel with wisdom that arises through meditation. Without that essential foundation, other practices are pointless. Fortunately, the mind can be trained in compassion, and the mind thus trained is fertile ground for the practice of the Great Completeness (Dzogchen), which is considered the pinnacle of spiritual practice by many in Tibetan Buddhism. In this book, His Holiness the Dalai Lama teaches the Great Completeness simply but thoroughly, using as his reference a visionary poem by the nineteenth-century master Patrul Rinpoche to show that insight can never be separated from compassion. Through practice of the Great Completeness, we can access our innermost awareness and live our lives in a way that acknowledges it and manifests it. The wisdom and compassion that arise from such insight are critical, His Holiness teaches, not only to individual progress in meditation but to our collective progress toward peace in the world.

Le couple, la santé, les relations entre amis : pour la première fois, le dalaï-lama nous parle de ce qui fait notre bonheur au quotidien. Demandez au dalaï-lama s'il est heureux et, bien qu'il ait souffert de l'exil, il répondra " oui " sans hésiter, car le bonheur est selon lui le but de toute notre existence. C'est ce qu'il explique dans cet Art du bonheur, mélange surprenant de sagesse plusieurs fois millénaire et de bon sens, de réflexions et de conseils concrets, que nous pouvons tous appliquer. Tout au long de ces conversations, le dalaï-lama nous montre comment vaincre l'anxiété, l'insécurité, la colère et le découragement et explore notre vie quotidienne pour illustrer comment surmonter les obstacles de l'existence en puisant dans notre source de paix intérieure. Après La Force du bouddhisme (Robert Laffont, 1994), voici le nouvel ouvrage de la plus grande figure spirituelle du monde contemporain, prix Nobel de la paix. Le dalaï-lama s'entretient ici avec le psychiatre Howard Cutler. Les deux hommes se sont rencontrés en 1982 alors qu'Howard Cutler se trouvait en Inde pour étudier la médecine tibétaine.

In 1975, Indonesia illegally invaded East Timor, until then a Portuguese colony. Since then, an estimated 200,000 people, nearly one-third of the territory's original population, have perished from war, famine, and killings. Now, after the fall of Indonesia's longtime strongman, General Suharto, East Timor is in the public eye and seems on the verge of winning independence. No one has been more crucial to this development than Bishop Belo, the first Catholic bishop ever to win the Nobel Peace Prize. In From the Place of the Dead, journalist Arnold Kohen has written the first full-length biography of Bishop Belo. Kohen, who has had unparalleled access to Bishop Belo for the past five years, provides not only a penetrating portrait of the Timorese prelate, but also the definitive account of a tortured country and the politics in which it is embroiled.
