The Wisdom of Forgiveness: Intimate Conversations and Journeys Paperback - 2005

by Dalai Lama; Victor Chan

Chan's intimate conversations with the Dalai Lama reveal His Holiness's personal fears; under which circumstances he believes he could be capable of violence; how the experience of profound spiritual insight feels in the body and mind; and more.


Summary

This is the extraordinary documentation of the evolving friendship between the Dalai Lama and the man who followed him across Ireland and Eastern Europe, on a pilgrimage to India's holy sites, and through the Dalai Lama's near fatal illness. On this remarkable journey Victor Chan was awarded an insight into His Holiness-his life, his fears, his faith, his compassion, his day-to-day practice-that no one has reported before. We've heard the public voice of His Holiness--now we are invited to listen in on his personal explorations, and to take instruction on the Tibetan art of living.
