The Dalai Lama's Little Book of Inner Peace

The Dalai Lama's Little Book of Inner Peace is a concise distillation of His Holiness’s life and teachings. He sketches his early years and the personal and political struggles that shaped his perspective, then draws on the Buddha’s teachings to offer clear, plainspoken guidance on cultivating steadiness and ethical conduct. Written accessibly, the book examines how individual change—living with honesty, compassion, and restraint—affects relationships and communities. It presents the Dalai Lama’s reflections on finding inner calm amid conflict and on the moral responsibility each person carries toward others.
