Overview

Imagine having an audience with the Dalai Lama where he could offer you personal advice on how you could live your life better, be more joyful, and create a better world. 365 Dalai Lama brings you exactly that: short and inspiring words offering you enlightening advice for everyday living. As a tireless pilgrim of peace, His Holiness works at the very center of a whirlwind of activity. And yet, despite the pace of his schedule, he always maintains the same serenity and openness. Whoever he meets, whether it be an old friend, a visitor, or passer-by, he is instantly and completely present, gazing into each person's face with that special expression of goodness, simplicity, and tremendous humour. The new teachings in 365 Dalai Lama give you an opportunity to feel the focus and presence of the Dalai Lama as never before. His Holiness offers us his advice from the heart. And there is no doubt that if we could truly assimilate into our thoughts and actions just a fraction of his advice, we would rejoice at the results.
