Summary: The Art of Happiness Explained By The Dalai Lama
Comment: This is a thoroughly enjoyable book that is easy and interesting to read, understand, and most of all apply to your life.
Here are a couple of quotes from this book that shed light on His Holiness The Dalai Lama's Views:
P. 173: "The ability to look at events from different perspectives can be very helpful. Then, practicing this, one can use certain experiences, certain tragedies to develop a calmness of mind. One must realize that every phenomena, every event, has different aspects."
"It seems that often when problems arise, our outlook becomes narrow. All of our attention may be focused on worrying about the problem, and we may have a sense that we're the only one that is going through such difficulties. This can lead to a kind of self-absorption that can make the problem seem very intense. When this happens, I think seeing things from a wider perspective can definitely help - realizing for instance, that there are many other people who have gone through similar experiences, and even worse experiences."
When Howard Cutler questioned about dealing with anger, his question was: "...You might think about an event...even much later, and every time you think about it you become angry all over again. How would you suggest dealing with (this.")
The Dalai Lama had this to say on P. 175: "If you look from a different angel, then surely the person who caused this anger in you will have a lot of other positive aspects, positive qualities. If you look carefully, you will also find that the act which has made you angry has also given you certain opportunities, something which otherwise would not have been possible, even from your point of view. So with effort you'll be able to see many different angles to a single event. This will help."
By reading this book, you will gain a greater understanding of HOW to transform the difficulties in your life, by transforming your views of them. It will greatly contribute to your inner peace, as well as peaceful relations with others, along with how to deal with life's constant changes with calm and assurance.
Highly Recommended! Barbara Rose, author 'If God Was Like Man'

Summary: We are all artists, and this is the medium to start with!
Comment: I have never found a book more enlightening or enriching to the soul as this one. I enjoyed Howard Cutler's flow of writing, and his style of presenting the Dalai Lama's message. He provides a great combination of the traditional Buddhist theories, enforced with common sense and practical scientific studies. I also admire the fact that ANYONE could relate to the teachings this book offers, regardless of their religion (or lack there of), age, or background. I have been interested in Buddhism, and would like to learn more on the religion, though I didn't feel the book pushed the religious system upon its readers. I liked the objective stance the book presented; it made for easy reading for a non-affiliated, yet spiritual, person like myself. I found myself reading it slowly, even reviewing the chapters, in an attempt to absorb the full meaning of the text. Each chapter reveals a piece of the puzzle, a small ingredient to the overall message: We can create lasting happiness for ourselves, and this goal is the tie that unites all of us on Earth. A truly inspirational book, it will bring out the artist in all who read it.

Summary: FACT: Teachings in New Testament have Buddhist roots
Comment: The book is ok .... I disagree with the retarded Christian from FL. It doesn't take a degree in rocket science to note that the Old Testament and the New Testament are of a completely different flavor. The Old Testament is full of fire and brimstone, an eye-for-an-eye kind of stuff whereas the New Testament has a distinctly Buddhist slant. Gee, I wonder if the fact that Jesus Christ spent several years in Tibet studying with the Buddhist monks had an influence on his teachings?!?!...
