About this book

Buddhist teachings employ the symbol of a winged bird to illustrate the two most important realizations cultivated on the path to enlightenment: wisdom and compassion. Awakening the Mind, Lightening the Heart is the Dalai Lama's gentle and profoundly eloquent instruction for developing the basis of the spiritual path: a compassionate motive. With extraordinary grace and insight, His Holiness shows how the Tibetan Buddhist teachings on compassion can be practiced in our daily lives through simple meditations that directly relate to past and present relationships.
