His Holiness explores the foundation of Buddhism, laying out an accessible and practical approach to age-old questions: How can we live free from suffering? How can we achieve lasting happiness and peace? Drawing from traditional Buddhist meditative practices as well as examples from today's troubled planet, he presents step-by-step exercises designed to expand the reader's capacity for spiritual growth, along with clear milestones to mark the reader's progress. By following the spiritual practices outlined here, we can learn how to replace troublesome feelings with positive attitudes and embark on a path to achieving an exalted state--within ourselves and within the larger world. This is an empowering book that can be read and enjoyed by seekers of all faiths.--From publisher description.
