This book is a rare opportunity to witness an extraordinary meeting between the greatest spiritual leaders of our time—Dalai Lama and the Archbishop of Cape Town Desmond Tutu—and find an answer to one of the most urgent questions: how to find within yourself the strength to rejoice in life despite inevitable suffering.
“His Holiness Tenzin Gyatso, the Dalai Lama, is one of the most well-known leaders in the world, 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 merits in the struggle for peace and his decision to address global environmental problems, His Holiness Tenzin Gyatso was awarded the Nobel Prize. Very recently, in 2007, he received the Golden Medal of the Congress, the highest civilian honor in the United States, for protecting human rights.
