Can the mind heal the body? The Buddhist tradition says yes-and now many Western scientists are beginning to agree. These discussions between the Dalai Lama and this group of prominent physicians, psychologists, philosophers, and behaviorists could not be more timely. The book is a record of the Mind and Life Conference II, a meeting that took place in Dharamsala, India, gathering Buddhist teachers and Western scholars to discuss questions that provide a framework for an ongoing dialogue between psychology and Buddhism about body and mind. Series Overview: The Core Teachings of the Dalai Lama series presents essential teachings of His Holiness the Dalai Lama that focus on the foundational, practical, and proven methods taught by the Buddha and his followers over the last 2,500 years. The common thread throughout all these teachings by His Holiness is how we can transform our minds, freeing us from the weight of our negative emotions and imbuing our hearts with a compassion rooted in the wisdom of how connected we really are.

Drawn from the lectures he gave during his first three visits to North America, the book covers the core subject matter of Tibetan Buddhism, as presented for the first time to an English-speaking audience. The chapters are arranged developmentally from simple to complex topics, which include the luminous nature of the mind, the four noble truths, karma, the common goals of the world’s religions, meditation, deities, and selflessness. Central to all these teachings is the necessity of compassion-which the Dalai Lama says is “the essence of religion” and “the most precious thing there is.” Series Overview: The Core Teachings of the Dalai Lama series presents essential teachings of His Holiness the Dalai Lama that focus on the foundational, practical, and proven methods taught by the Buddha and his followers over the last 2,500 years.

Two spiritual giants. Seven days. One timeless question.

‘The ultimate source of happiness is within us.’ DALAI LAMA

‘We grow in kindness when our kindness is tested.’ DESMOND TUTU

Archbishop Desmond Tutu and the Dalai Lama have been friends for many, many years. Between them, they have endured exile, violence and oppression. And in the face of these hardships, they have continued to radiate compassion, humour and above all, joy.

To celebrate His Holiness’s eightieth birthday, Archbishop Tutu travelled to the Dalai Lama’s home in Dharamsala. The two men spent a week discussing a single burning question: how do we find joy in the face of suffering?

This book is a gift from two of the most important spiritual figures of our time. Full of love, warmth and hope, The Book of Joy offers us the chance to experience their journey from first embrace to final goodbye.
