His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama is one of the most fascinating and admired figures of our time. We are honored to offer this special publication to celebrate his eightieth birthday.
The Dalai Lama is the world's leading advocate of kindness, compassion, and nonviolence in all our relationships--personal, social, and political. He inspires us to discover the best in ourselves, others, and society.
Like King, Gandhi, and Mandela, the Dalai Lama is that rare global leader whose social and political message is informed by deep and subtle spirituality. Well-reasoned, realistic, and profoundly transformative, it is hard-won truth emerging from suffering--his own, his people's, and the world's.
