About this ebook

In this elegant self-portrait, the world’s most outspoken and influential spiritual leader recounts his epic and engaging life story. The Dalai Lama’s most accessible and intimate book, My Spiritual Journey is an excellent introduction to the larger-than-life leader of Tibetan Buddhism—perfect for anyone curious about Eastern religion, invested in the Free Tibet movement, or simply seeking a richer spiritual life. The Dalai Lama’s riveting, deeply insightful meditations on life will resonate strongly with readers of Pema Chodron, Thich Nhat Hanh, or the His Holiness’s own The Art of Happiness and Ethics for the New Millennium.

Ratings and reviews

I rated this particular book by the Dalai Lama a 3 because it was a re-hash of his other books already written. So, if you've never read anything by him, you may enjoy it, but I feel the other books written were way better. Especially, "The Book of Joy" and "How to Practice the Way to a Meaningful Life."

He speaks of peace, but treats his people like dogs while he lives like a king.

Amazing that it's only $2 right now. Thank you!
