The meaning of life : Buddhist perspectives on cause and effect

These teachings address the challenges we meet daily--dealing with aggression from both within and without, facing illness and helping someone who his dying, expanding our capacity to feel love for all beings, and reconciling personal responsibility with the doctrine of selflessness--all suffused with the Dalai Lama's intellegence, wit and kindness.

  • "The Dalai Lama describes the twelve links of dependency on the Wheel of Life, how humankind has become trapped in a prison of suffering and selfishness, and how to turn one's prison into a source of help and happiness for others."
  • "The Dalai Lama presents the basic worldview of Buddhism while offering answers to some of lifé??s most profound and challenging questions: Why are we in this situation? Where are we going? Do our lives have any meaning? How should we live our lives? Basing his explanation on the twelve links of dependent-arising as depicted in the Buddhist image of the Wheel of Life, His Holiness vividly describes how human beings become trapped in a counterproductive prison of selfishness and suffering, and shows how to reverse the process, changing the limiting prison into a source of help and happiness for others. Suffused with the Dalai Lamá??s intelligence, wit, and kindness, these teachings address such issues as how to deal with aggression from within and without; how to reconcile personal responsibility with the doctrine of selflessness; how to face a terminal illness; how to help someone who is dying; how to reconcile love for family with love for all beings; and how to integrate this practice into everyday life."@en
