This book offers a rare opportunity to witness an extraordinary meeting between two of the greatest spiritual leaders of our time—the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu of Cape Town—and to find an answer to one of the pressing questions: how to find the strength to rejoice in life despite inevitable suffering. “His Holiness the Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso is one of the world’s best-known leaders who has guided his people for more than fifty years as the head of a government in exile and as the spiritual leader of Tibet. In 1989, in recognition of his services in the struggle for peace and for solving global environmental problems, His Holiness Tenzin Gyatso received the Nobel Peace Prize. Very recently, in 2007, he was awarded the Golden Medal of the U.S. Congress, the highest civilian honor in the United States, for protecting human rights.
