Product Description
The Dalai Lama serves as a living symbol of holiness and selfless triumph over tribulation for people of all religious traditions-as well as those with no religious affiliation at all. This collection of daily quotations drawn from His Holiness's own writings, teachings, and interviews offers words of guidance, compassion, and peace that are as down to earth as they are rich in spirit. Suffused with endearing informality, warmth, and practicality, they cover almost every aspect of human life, secular and religious--from loneliness, suffering, anger, and everyday insecurities to happiness, intimacy, and responsibility to others. With a special foreword by His Holiness on the power of meditation and personal responsibility, The Path to Tranquility is a fresh and accessible spiritual treasure to return to day after day, year after year.
Amazon.com Review
Wouldn't it be nice to have a handy collection of highlights from the Dalai Lama's writings and teachings? Renuka Singh, a student and friend of the Dalai Lama, brings together a sampling of his words for each day of the year in The Path to Tranquility. In her selections you can sense the intimate encouragement of the student-teacher relationship. The Dalai Lama's words are not distant platitudes or profound proclamations but rather small insights and patient exhortations to keep trying. "We can deny everything except that we have the possibility of being better." "As a spiritual trainee, you must be prepared to endure the hardships of being involved in a genuine spiritual pursuit." "Nothing is more important than guarding the mind." These thoughts are germane to practical cultivation, and pondering a daily passage is a great way to keep the mind coming back to its center. Take a page from the Dalai Lama, and set yourself on the path to tranquility. --Brian Bruya

 Dalai Lama - my new daily meditations, 2008-03-27
I love that this CD recording of the Dalai Lama's quotes is broken down into 10-15 minute sets. Perfect timing for a short morning meditation or before bedtime relaxation. The readers have wonderfully soothing voices and the passages chosen are poignant, thought-provoking and spiritually uplifting. Wonderful CD set!

A Really Positive Daily Read, 2007-11-28
I love the Dalai Lama's teachings and writings, so I already knew I would probably like this book. I have truly enjoyed this one, and I continue to every day. Each day, the book offers a short but very insightful piece of wisdom. It makes you think and feel good to read it, and over time it becomes easier to see things in a better light. I found myself feeling more calm, not fretting the small things, enjoying little moments more. I would recommend this to anyone, of any religion, who wants to think more positively about life in general.

A reviewer's path , 2007-11-20
This reviewer finds that the product works quite well for reminding him about the spiritual side to life, but wishes the wisdom would continue for more than three CD's, as they seem a bit short. Repeating the albums works for some time, but the reviewer gets distracted by music stations and songs such as Black Sabbath's "I Sold my Soul for Rock and Roll", which do nothing for the reviewer's spiritual growth but he finds that it is a timeless classic.
All in all, this is recommended for keeping yourself in touch with more important things, like self development, and inner awareness. It also inspired the reviewer to learn more about Buddhism, but found that he could not force himself to believe that there is more than one lifetime for each creature. He couldn't discount the notion, but nor was he able to prove it to himself.
So the path continues...

 Good, 2007-05-12
This is good to read every morning, an inspiration from Dalai Lama. It is short however but can be use over and over again.

Great Wisdom, 2007-03-15
This book is a daily reader. The author's words are at once educational, spiritual, and humane. Whatever we failed to learn through our formal or informal education and religious training can be made up for in this book.
I cannot envision ever outgrowing this book. For, as I grow and develop through the years, the words will have different meanings for me.
