Overly brief and trite... October 3, 2004

This is a book of fortune cookie style utterances. It'll teach you little about Buddhism and is more of a novelty item. It's small though so it would actually fit inside a large fortune cookie!

A perfect little book, so tiny yet full on easy to digest text from the most inspirational man. If you have an interest in Buddhism but are worried it will all be too much to take on board, this along with the Dalai Lama's other little books will give you the perfect start. You will want to read all his books once you start.

A Little Book with Much Depth March 25, 2003

This book reminds me alot of my favorite book, The Little Guide To Happiness. Heck, even the title is similiar. Like that book, it talks about how to get a hold of what's most important in life. Then, at the end of the book are quotes to follow it up. I love both books. Though, I honestly like The Little Guide To Happiness a notch, just a slight one, more. That's because it's my favorite.

In this small book the Dalai Lama speaks of compassion, anger, forgiveness of enemies, and living life in a truly more loving way. Though much of it seems familar to western ears [the ideas of love compassion and service are not unknown in western religion and philosophy], the simplicity of much of what the dalai lama says is refreshing. His own struggles with anger are interesting, and the prose, gleaned from past lectures, smooth and clean. I also highly recommend "Open Your Mind, Open Your Life: A Little Book of Eastern Wisdom" by Taro Gold which I found wonderfully enlightening.

The power and insight given by this little gem of a book comes from the simplicity of the Dalai Lama's words. His words and explanations speak directly to your heart showing how to bring love, peace and creative energy into the world. This little book is small enough to carry in your pocket - I find that whenever I need uplifting or inspiration I open it to exactly the right page!
