Used book - Ancient Wisdom, Modern World, Dalai Lama, Eric Diacon

Traveling tirelessly around the world, encountering all kinds of civilizations, His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama constantly sees confirmed the fact that every human being, whether rich or poor, healthy or sick, from East or West, North or South, aspires to only one thing: to be happy.

At the beginning of this third millennium, many of us are seeking a more fulfilling way of life, an antidote to the sterility of the consumer society that characterizes the modern world. Whatever his religion, and even if he is an atheist, man can only find happiness in spiritual fulfillment. And it is this fulfillment that the Dalai Lama invites us to seek, because, more than material wealth, it is this that will bring us joy and serenity. He does so, in a simple and direct way, in this work which can be considered the spiritual complement to his autobiography, Freedom in Exile. The head of the Tibetan Buddhist Church and political leader of the Tibetan community in exile, the Dalai Lama works tirelessly for the cause of world peace and non-violence. He received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989.
