Kindness, Clarity, and Insight

A beloved classic. Drawn from the lectures the Dalai Lama’s gave during his first three visits to North America, this book covers the core subject matter of Tibetan Buddhism, including the luminous nature of the mind, the four noble truths, karma, the common goals of the world’s religions, meditation, deities, and selflessness. Central to all these teachings is compassion, which the Dalai Lama says is “the essence of religion” and “the most precious thing there is.”
