Overview
"La compasión no puede ser verdaderamente transformadora, añade, hasta que no se haga extensiva a todo y a todos. Siempre humilde pero constantemente inspirador, el Dalai Lama parte del supuesto de que, en lo más profundo de nuestro ser, todos deseamos la felicidad. Y nos recuerda que para ser felices lo importante es fomentar los aspectos positivos y útiles de cada uno de nosotros a la par que atenuamos los negativos. La mejor manera de hacerlo, afirma, es cultivando la compasión. Su Santidad no limita el ámbito de su análisis a las relaciones con nuestras amistades y familiares, sino que subraya la importancia de la compasión entre las naciones y las distintas religiones. La compasión no puede ser verdaderamente transformadora, añade, hasta que no se haga extensiva a todo y a todos, incluso a aquellos que nos causan daño. Adoptando esta actitud seremos capaces de cambiar el mundo para mejor. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION ""The key to a happier and more successful world is the growth of compassion."" -His Holiness the Dalai Lama"" Giving and receiving affection is the key to happiness, and compassion is the key that opens our hearts to affection. Illuminating themes touched upon in The Good Heart and The Art of Happiness, this generous and gentle book contains some of the most beloved teachings on compassion that the Dalai Lama has ever offered. Touching and transformative, The Compassionate Life is a personal invitation from one of the world's most gifted teachers to live a life of happiness, joy, and true prosperity. Collected here for the first time are four of the Dalai Lama's most accessible and inspiring teachings on compassion. The purpose of life is to be happy, His Holiness reminds us. To be happy, we should devote ourselves to developing our own peace of mind; the more we care for the happiness of others, the greater our own peace of mind. Therefore, we must develop compassion for others in order to be truly happy. In these four teachings--imbued with the gentle humor and extraordinary kindness of this incomparable teacher--His Holiness explores altruism and the need for compassion on an individual as well as a global scale. He offers specific practices for developing loving-kindness and compassion in even the most difficult situations."
