Wenige Seiten mit teils sich wiederholenden Aussagen des DL und trotzdem Potential dein Leben zu verändern.
"Solange der unermessliche Raum Bestand hat und solange es noch empfindende Wesen gibt, möge auch ich ausharren, um das Leid aus der Welt zu verbannen." ( )

A serious of interviews transcribed into this small & powerful book. Much food for thought from the Honorable Dalai Lama XIV. ( )

The Dalai Lama’s An Appeal to the World is a moving primer of his message for the 21st century. In an interview with television journalist Franz Alt, His Holiness the Dalai Lama addressed both the inward and outward paths of peace, war, climate change, materialism, meditation, universal ethics, and even neuroscience.
His Holiness discussed six principles: 1) nonviolence—of which he has become a symbol to free Tibet; 2) tolerance—he envisions no peace unless there is peace among religions; 3) each religion’s uniqueness; 4) the meaning of religion today—the Dalai Lama sees a religious person as one who collaborates in preserving the earth; 5) patience—His Holiness saw himself working on this virtue; and 6) death and rebirth—he has no clue what will happen.
Still the Dalai Lama presents the world with a “childlike faith” in political miracles saying, “One day we will cooperate well with China.” He pins his greatest hope on China’s young people, and the 400 million who are Buddhists. His Holiness viewed the 65 years of Chinese Communism as an enormous spiritual void, as compared with 1,300 years of Tibetan Buddhism. ( )

The book is short answers to questions about peace in the world. I don't feel that it lends itself to being rated by me.
