For the tenth annual John Main Seminar, the World Community for Christian Meditation brought Christians and Buddhists together to experience enlightened dialogue between religions conducted with respect, reverence, and the joy of friendship. From this remarkable event comes an historic first in publishing: The Good Heart. In this unprecedented book, one of the world's most beloved spiritual teachers, the Dalai Lama, comments on well-known passages from each of the four Christian Gospels, providing a unique reading of these familiar source of faith. Offering his Buddhist perspective on the Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes, the parable of the mustard seed, the Resurrection, and other selections, the Dalai Lama finds many similarities between Christian and Buddhist teachings, as well as an extraordinary correspondence between the narratives and lives of Jesus and the Buddha.

"The Way to Freedom" begins with the Dalai Lama's gentle and profoundly eloquent exposition of the Buddha's teachings and instructions presented in easy-to-understand steps. With unprecedented simplicity and beauty, he reveals the essence of Tibetan Buddhism to both novice and advanced students/practitioners. He also offers elegant, straightforward reflections on death, rebirth, karma, the Four Noble Truths and the cultivation of bodhisattva ideals and deeds: generosity, ethics, patience, effort, concentration, and wisdom.

The second volume in the landmark Library of Tibet series, Awakening the Mind, Lightening the Heart examines the next step of the Compassion. Based on a classic fourteenth-century Tibetan poem famous for its ability to awaken compassion in the human heart, this elegant primer combines the mind training and stages of the path traditions of Tibetan Buddhism with enduring simplicity and illuminating prose.
