The Message Our World Needs

The Vision of the Dalai Lama

EMBODYING COMPASSION

The Best of Who We Are • How did an obscure Buddhist monk become perhaps the most admired moral leader in the world? Reflecting on his forty-five years of friendship with the Dalai Lama, PICO IYER concludes that it’s because the man and his message show us the best of who we are as people.

I MADE THE DALAI LAMA SMILE

Happiness Is Helping Others • You aren’t separate from the rest of the world, teaches the DALAI LAMA. In being kind to others, you’re also being kind to yourself.

We Are All Brothers and Sisters: Platform for a Human Future • It’s easy to focus on the Dalai Lama’s engaging personality, but we have to listen to what he’s actually telling us. Buddhist scholar JAN WILLIS teases out the key points of His Holiness’ message to the world. Our future depends on it.

THE GIFT OF HIS PRESENCE

ALIAS GROUCHO MARX

WOMEN ARE THE LEADERS OF THE FUTURE

BRAVE, HUMBLE, HONEST

Voice for Compassion • Thupten Jinpa is best known as the Dalai Lama’s translator, but this Buddhist renaissance man has many roles—scholar, author, and leader in the dialogue between science and Buddhism. Driving them all, says LINDSAY KYTE, is his mission to help us all be more compassionate.

Rejoicing in Deep Connection • A meditation for fostering compassion from Thupten Jinpa.

CULTIVATING COMPASSION

She Who Hears the Cries of the World • In Buddhist iconography, compassion is embodied in the bodhisattva Kuan Yin, who is said to manifest wherever beings need help. Engendering such compassion, says CHRISTINA FELDMAN, benefits everyone. By putting others first, we loosen the bonds of our self-fixation, and in doing so, inch closer to our own liberation.

Unlimited Compassion • CHRISTINA FELDMAN offers this guided meditation on embracing all suffering.

Practice: Developing Bodhichitta

Putting Their COMPASSION Into Action • HAL ATWOOD looks at three organizations who focus on humanitarian work as an essential expression of their Buddhist values.

A call to action on the CLIMATE CRISIS

“The Earth’s future is our future.” • For the sake of future generations, the DALAI LAMA tells journalist and activist FRANZ ALT, we must develop a sense of universal responsibility—for the earth and all humanity. Working together as one is the only way we’ll survive the climate crisis.

“We Need a Revolution of Compassion” • In this powerful statement on the climate crisis, the DALAI LAMA calls on us to make this a century of compassion for the planet and all its inhabitants.

JOANNA MACY and the GREAT TURNING • The renowned Buddhist thinker and environmental activist talks with MELVIN MCLEOD about the global awakening the planet needs—while we still have time. At heart, it’s a spiritual revolution.

The Science of COMPASSION

LOVE—It’s What Really Makes Us Happy • Robert Waldinger is a Zen priest and leader of the longest-running study of human happiness. As ANDREA MILLER tells us, he’s found that science and Buddhism agree on what makes life happy and meaningful.

How Meditation Changes Your Brain—and Your Life • When neuroscientists tested expert meditators, they discovered something surprising: The effect of Buddhist meditation isn’t just momentary; it can...
