Here, the Dalai Lama progresses beyond his bestsellers <I>The Art of Happiness</I> and <I>Ethics for the New Millennium</I> by introducing specific practices that can engender happiness. Spiritual practice, according to the Dalai Lama, is a matter of taming unwanted emotions, which means becoming aware of how the mind works. Through the methods of analytical and settled meditation, the Dalai Lama shows how we can cultivate helpful states of mind and eliminate harmful states, leading us to develop compassion for others and happiness for ourselves. But there is no preaching of a single, right method. This revered but humble monk merely invites the reader to understand the causes of one's suffering and consider how best to alleviate it. <I>Open Heart</I> should draw crowds to the bookstores and lead us all to more satisfactory living. <I>--Brian Bruya</I> 253038 25 9 2001 An Open Heart: Practicing Compassion in Everyday Life total:732|5:13|4:10|3:9|2:2|1:0| 732 3080 1127 85 5 1 true false Wed Aug 20 20:49:47 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 20 21:13:07 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Tue Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2004 Thu Apr 19 23:40:16 -0700 2007 Thu Apr 19 23:44:38 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 2 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Thu Feb 07 11:23:13 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 07 11:25:27 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Sun Jun 07 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon May 25 18:52:27 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 07 13:12:04 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Apr 30 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 25 11:06:26 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 30 18:07:34 -0700 2009
