In My Own Words by His Holiness the Dalai Lama: An Introduction to His Teachings and Philosophy

From Publishers Weekly

Mehrotra assembles a Buddhist primer in this small collection of the Dalai Lama’s thoughts on meditation, suffering, karma, enlightenment and other issues.

Similarly, a spirituality that ignores science can quickly become a rigid fundamentalism. Sometimes the Dalai Lama discovers similarities between the two fields. For example, Einstein’s idea th (more…)
