Die Liebe - Quelle des Glücks

by Dalai Lama XIV

Unser Herz weist den Weg. Liebe ist die Grundlage unserer Existenz und unseres Zusammenlebens. Die Kunst zu lieben können wir lernen. Wie es gelingt, Egoismus zu überwinden, Liebe zu vertiefen und in unseren Beziehungen zu erweitern, zeigt der Dalai Lama in sieben einfachen, klaren Schritten und Meditationen. Wenn wir in Menschen, die wir Feinde nennen, auch Freunde entdecken; wenn wir Güte und Freundlichkeit wertschätzen – und auch erwidern, wo wir ihnen begegnen, wenn wir im Leben Hingabe verwirklichen, dann haben wir den Schlüssel für ein dauerhaft glückliches und erfülltes Leben in der Hand. Zahlreiche Beispiele aus seinem eigenen Leben Liebe ist das Gegengewicht zum Unglück der Welt. Ein Buch, das Herz und Sinne berührt.

About the author

Jetsun Jamphel Ngawang Lobsang Yeshe Tenzin Gyatso (born Lhamo Döndrub), the 14th Dalai Lama, is a practicing member of the Gelug School of Tibetan Buddhism and is influential as a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, the world's most famous Buddhist monk, and the leader of the exiled Tibetan government in India.

Tenzin Gyatso was the fifth of sixteen children born to a farming family. He was proclaimed the tulku (an Enlightened lama who has consciously decided to take rebirth) of the 13th Dalai Lama at the age of two.

On 17 November 1950, at the age of 15, he was enthroned as Tibet's ruler. Thus he became Tibet's most important political ruler just one month after the People's Republic of China's invasion of Tibet on 7 October 1950. In 1954, he went to Beijing to attempt peace talks with Mao Zedong and other leaders of the PRC. These talks ultimately failed.

After a failed uprising and the collapse of the Tibetan resistance movement in 1959, the Dalai Lama left for India, where he was active in establishing the Central Tibetan Administration (the Tibetan Government in Exile) and in seeking to preserve Tibetan culture and education among the thousands of refugees who accompanied him.

Tenzin Gyatso is a charismatic figure and noted public speaker. This Dalai Lama is the first to travel to the West. There, he has helped to spread Buddhism and to promote the concepts of universal responsibility, secular ethics, and religious harmony.

He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989, honorary Canadian citizenship in 2006, and the United States Congressional Gold Medal on 17 October 2007.
