In My Own Words An Introduction to My Teachings and Philosophy

This book is a compilation of extracts from the Dalai Lama's most powerful writings and talks, serving as an accessible introduction to both his Buddhist and secular philosophies. It explains the core elements of the Buddha's teachings and the basic practices of meditation, while also engaging with and reconciling the innovations of modern science with Buddhist perspectives. The book presents the essence of Buddhism as 'interdependence coupled with non-violence' and explores topics such as suffering, karma, enlightenment, and compassion. Ultimately, His Holiness calls for the celebration of diversity and the recognition of interdependence, which fosters a sense of Universal Responsibility that should govern all relationships in an increasingly fragmented world.
