Readers of this single volume, manageable in size, will be well prepared for understanding all of the Dalai Lama's subsequent books. The teachings in this book comprehend and encapsulate in a crisp and concise manner all of the topics to which the Dalai Lama returns repeatedly-the core subject matter of Tibetan Buddhism. Translated into twelve languages, it is a testament to the kindness, clarity, and insight of its author. This celebratory new edition of the very first book of teachings by the Dalai Lama in the English-speaking world coincides with the twenty-fifth anniversary of that historic first teaching series in North America. Kindness, Clarity, and Insight is widely considered the most readable yet substantial and wide-ranging of the Dalai Lama's works.
