  <default-description>A gift for those in search of words to calm and inspire. In this book His Holiness the Dalai Lama teaches us how to deal with suffering. It contains His Holiness' thoughts on &quot;The Four Noble Truths&quot; - the very foundation of Buddhist teaching: the truth of suffering, the truth of the origin of suffering, the truth of the cessation of suffering, the truth of the path leading to this cessation. This was the first sermon the Buddha gave after he was enlightened. His Holiness presents a comprehensive explanation of the subject, helping us to gain a better understanding.</default-description>
