the dalai lama

The first authoritative biography of the Dalai Lama—a story by turns inspiring and shocking—from an acclaimed Tibetan scholar with exceptional access to his subject.The Dalai Lama’s message of peace and compassion resonates with people of all faiths and none. Yet, for all his worldwide fame, he remains personally elusive. At last Alexander Norman—acclaimed Oxford-trained scholar of the history of Tibet—delivers the definitive, unique, unforgettable biography. The Dalai Lama recounts an astonishing odyssey from isolated Tibetan village to worldwide standing as spiritual and political leader of one of the world’s most profound and complex cultural traditions. Norman reveals that, while the Dalai Lama has never been comfortable with his political position, he has been a canny player—at one time CIA-backed—who has maneuvered amidst pervasive violence, including placing himself at the center of a dangerous Buddhist schism. Yet even more surprising than the political, Norman convinces, is the Dalai Lama’s astonishing spiritual practice, rooted in magic, vision, and prophecy—details of which are illuminated in this book for the first time. A revelatory life story of one of today’s most radical, charismatic, and beloved world leaders.

The Dalai Lama reveals how training the mind in compassion for other beings is directly related to—and a prerequisite for—the very pinnacle of Buddhist meditation The heart of meditation—the thing that brings it alive—is compassion. This is not an ordinary compassion but one that is developed and expanded in parallel with wisdom that arises through meditation. Without that essential foundation, other practices are pointless. Fortunately, the mind can be trained in compassion, and the mind thus trained is fertile ground for the practice of the Great Completeness (Dzogchen), which is considered the pinnacle of spiritual practice by many in Tibetan Buddhism. In this book, His Holiness the Dalai Lama teaches the Great Completeness simply but thoroughly, using as his reference a visionary poem by the nineteenth-century master Patrul Rinpoche to show that insight can never be separated from compassion. Through practice of the Great Completeness, we can access our innermost awareness and live our lives in a way that acknowledges it and manifests it. The wisdom and compassion that arise from such insight are critical, His Holiness teaches, not only to individual progress in meditation but to our collective progress toward peace in the world.

Výpravná publikace mapující přátelský vztah dvou výrazných osobností.The purpose of this book is to help Tibet and the Tibetan people. Tibet is a brave nation with a rich culture and religion that is among the most under threat in the world, due to facing occupation and terror from a Communist totalitarian power for over 60 years. China is decimating the Tibetan population in its own land, destroying Tibetan education, religion, and culture, plundering Tibetan nature, and ruining its environment. The survival of the Tibetans is a general question of humanity. If the Tibetan nation were not to survive, it would be a loss for all mankind. The Czech Republic and our modern history have much in common with Tibet, which is also described in this book. There is a strong bond between our peoples, first created and strengthened over 20 years by our President Václav Havel. Th e democratic part of our political representation and civil society identifi es with Havel s legacy and maintains his values, principles and policies. The aim of this book is to show why it makes sense to care about Tibet and why defending Tibet is a test of the quality of democracy in the free liberal world. It is a test of how much we allow the Chinese totalitarian regime to interfere in the functioning of our society; how much we will submit to its shocking and inhumane practices; how much we will allow ourselves to be bought and corrupted to turn a blind eye to what is happening in China. How we fare in this test will show how strong our democracy is and how civilised our society is.

In this unique book, His Holiness the Dalai Lama tells the full story of his 75-year struggle with China to save Tibet and its people. The Dalai Lama has had to contend with the People’s Republic of China his entire life. He was 15 years old when communist China invaded Tibet in 1950, only 19 when he had his first meeting with Chairman Mao in Beijing, and 24 when he was forced to escape to India and became a leader in exile.Almost 75 years after China’s initial invasion of Tibet, the Dalai Lama has faced communist China’s leaders – Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao and Xi Jinping – in his effort to protect Tibet and its people. In Voice for the Voiceless, the Dalai Lama reminds the world of Tibet’s unresolved struggle for freedom and the hardship his people continue to face in their homeland. The book captures his extraordinary life, uncovering what it means to lose your home to a repressive invader and build a life in exile; dealing with the existential crisis of a nation, its people, and its culture and religion; and envisioning the path forward.Voice for the Voiceless is a powerful testimony from a global icon, sharing both his pain and his enduring hope in his people’s ongoing quest to restore dignity and freedom.

David Bohm was one of the foremost scientific thinkers and philosophers of our time. Although deeply influenced by Einstein, he was also, more unusually for a scientist, inspired by mysticism. Indeed, in the 1970s and 1980s he made contact with both J. Krishnamurti and the Dalai Lama whose teachings helped shape his work. In both science and philosophy, Bohm s main concern was with understanding the nature of reality in general and of consciousness in particular. In this classic work he develops a theory of quantum physics which treats the totality of existence as an unbroken whole. Writing clearly and without technical jargon, he makes complex ideas accessible to anyone interested in the nature of reality.

The 14th Dalai Lama is one of the most famous personalities of our time.

No other photographer in the world is as close to His Holiness as Manuel Bauer, whose deep interest in Buddhism and Tibet dates back more than three decades. Since 1990, Bauer has visited and travelled with the Dalai Lama many times and has captured his public appearances and events as well as his private life in thousands of atmospheric photographs.This book features some 200 of these images, many of which are published here for the first time. They offer unique insights into the Dalai Lama⠙s travels and public appearances around the world as well as the media hype they cause.

In this final volume on emptiness, the Dalai Lama skillfully reveals the Prasangikas’ view of the ultimate nature of reality so that we will gain the correct view of emptiness, the selflessness of both persons and phenomena, and have the means to eliminate our own and others’ duhkha.In this last of three volumes on emptiness, the Dalai Lama takes us through the Sautrantika, Yogacara, and Svatantrika views on the ultimate nature of reality and the Prasangikas’ thorough responses to these, so that we gain the correct view of emptiness—the selflessness of both persons and phenomena. This view entails negating inherent existence while also being able to establish conventional existence: emptiness does not mean nothingness. We then learn how to meditate on the correct view by cultivating pristine wisdom that is the union of serenity and insight as taught in the Pali, Chinese, and Tibetan traditions. Such meditation, when combined with the altruistic intention of bodhicitta, leads to the complete eradication of all defilements that obscure our minds. This volume also introduces us to the tathagatagarbha—the buddha essence—and how it is understood in both Tibet and China. Is it permanent? Does everyone have it? In addition, the discussion of sudden and gradual awakening in Zen (Chan) Buddhism and in Tibetan Buddhism is fascinating.

A compulsively readable story of mistaken identity set within high society New York and the sacrifices made to keep up appearances, “as lively and refreshing as a chilled glass of champagne.” (Kirstin Chen) Somewhere in New York City, Lata Murthy knows there is another person with her name living a much more interesting life. That #39;s because Lata often receives the other Lata #39;s emails: invites to Hampton soirees, fundraising appeals from the New York City Ballet and reminders about sample sales at Soho boutiques. Lata #39;s own life—working in digital content, watching Food Network marathons, spending recklessly on clothes she can #39;t afford—feels pathetic in comparison. So, one day she decides to take on this other Lata #39;s identity and jumps headfirst into the glamorous New York lifestyle ... but not without consequences. At first, it all feels like a fairy tale. All of Lata #39;s NYC dreams come true: she gets a higher-paying job, moves into a chic Chelsea apartment and is embraced by an elite friend group that includes Rajeev, an up-and-coming fashion designer intent on making a splash at New York Fashion Week. But Lata doesn #39;t just catch the attention of the handsome fashion designer—she also incurs the wrath of the mysterious woman she is impersonating. And this Other Lata wants Lata to pay...but in the oddest of ways. Other Lata #39;s blackmail seems designed to humiliate Lata in front of her wealthy new circle, and Lata has no choice but to submit to her demands if she doesn #39;t want to lose her new friends and lifestyle.

From the critically acclaimed author Sally Bayley, The Green Lady is a poignant, brilliant exploration of the relationships between children and their teachers.In the style of her memoir Girl with Dove, this book explores a childâ ™s search for artistic education and a sense of self.

Turner, Bayleyâ ™s protagonist goes in search of her maternal ancestors, in particular her grandmother, Edna May Turner. Following the narratives of other women in history who have taken different routes to independence and artistic freedom â “ including the educational suffragist Mary Neal, actress Margaret Rutherford, and poet Stevie Smith â “ Bayley considers the paths to happiness and the limitations social convention imposes.Part novel, part memoir, The Green Lady continues the traditions of Virginia Woolfâ ™s Orlando as an imagined biography which urgently understands the need for a space of oneâ ™s own in which to thrive. As one of the bookâ ™s several foster children, Bayley reminds us that families and homes can be found and built within literature and the arts as well as nature s green spaces.

NetGalley review ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The characters are beautifully written and I came to love them within the first few pages and was rooting for them all the way to the end. At times I wanted to stop reading because I just wanted the experience to go on for longer. NetGalley review ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Had me hooked from the start right until the end. It was just a lovely cosy read that felt like coming home on a cold and dark night. I loved it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

A major new history of the two most important British secret service networks in the First and Second World Wars  Intelligence gathering was essential to both sides in the First and Second World Wars. At the heart of MI6⠙s efforts were two key networks in Belgium. Agents in The White Lady acted as couriers, radio operators and spies to facilitate the end of German control. And, when war broke out again two decades later, the leaders of the network regrouped and established a successor: The Clarence Service.  Helen Fry charts the history of these pivotal intelligence networks. Drawing on recently declassified information, Fry examines who the agents were, how they were recruited, and how the intelligence they gathered directly impacted the outcome of both wars. Operators in the field sent over eight hundred radio messages to London and delivered more than a thousand reports, including groundbreaking information on Hitler⠙s secret weapon the V-1. This is a compelling account of the agents who risked their lives and found ingenious ways to smuggle intelligence out of occupied Belgium.

Škola uměleckých řemesel v Brně 1924-2024 / The School of Arts and Crafts in Brno 1924-2024 Jak se v Brně rodilo moderní umění a design, jaké byly metody uměleckoprůmyslového vzdělávání? Publikace zachycuje stoletý příběh jedné středoevropské školy, v níž se setkávaly lokální folklorní tradice s experimentální uměleckou avantgardou, poslušnost vůči politickému establishmentu s odvážným volnomyšlenkářstvím a tradiční řemeslná zručnost s novými médii.Představuje výsledek týmového výzkumu a přináší řadu původních textových studií i dosud neznámý obrazový materiál.Vychází česko-anglicky v rámci projektu NAKI III / Místa tvořivosti* / Uměleckoprůmyslové vzdělávání - konstrukce identit, záchrana minulosti a design budoucnosti. Grafika Jiří Mocek.Kniha doprovází stejnojmennou výstavu v Domě umění města Brna (22. 10. 2025.-8. 3. 2026).* O projektu Místa tvořivosti: Úspěšné uchovávání a prezentace hmotného i nehmotného kulturního dědictví jsou závislé na tom, jak dobře porozumíme podmínkám jeho vzniku v minulosti. Znalost těchto podmínek je podstatná i pro správnou odbornou interpretaci tohoto dědictví. Umělecké vzdělávání představuje základní úroveň, na níž se formují podmínky budoucí umělecké, uměleckořemeslné a designové tvorby. Projekt zkoumá tradici českého (resp. česko-německého) uměleckého vzdělávání od poloviny 19. století do konce 20. století na středních a vysokých uměleckých školách s primárním zaměřením na umělecký průmysl, užité umění a design. Ukazuje, jaké koncepty, ideje a dovednosti se vyučovaly na specializovaných školách, jak byly ministerské osnovy a instrukce adaptovány a rozvíjeny konkrétními pedagogy a jak si je absolventi odnášeli do své praxe. To napomůže zpřesnění, zlepšení a inovaci uměleckohistorických interpretačních modelů a konzervačních technik. Probádává také, jakou úlohu měly tyto specifické vzdělávací tradice v rámci česko-německých a česko-slovenských kulturních vztahů při konstrukci české národní a kulturní identity. Celý projekt je složen z osmi výstupů průběžně realizovaných od roku 2025 do roku 2027. Více na: https://mistatvorivosti.umprum.cz/.
