Beyond Religion

Beyond Religion by Dalai Lama

For the spiritually inclined, consider this book by the Dalai Lama. He speaks of compassion and generosity...a life well lived. I found this book to be uplifting and a strong reminder of how I want to live.

One part that touched me is the focus on letting go of negativity. What others think/say has nothing to do with me. I need that reminder as I struggle with this. Focusing on this moment...that is what is important.

Loved it.

The Art of Happiness

“The Art of Happiness” by Dalai Lama is a good read. I’ve often wished I could sit down with a great spiritual leader and ask some questions. This book is based on questions asked to the Dalai Lama.

This man is inspirational. He radiates peace, contentment and compassion. And isn’t that happiness?

There are some excellent concepts discussed in this book. A definite recommend for those on a self-discovery or spiritual quest.
