Dalai Lama
 The Art of Happiness
By The Dalai Lama
Howard Culter, MD, a western psychiatrist, followed the Dalai Lama's lectures in the US and visited Dharmsala. During privately scheduled interviews, Dr. Cutler asked His Holiness questions pertinent to psychological problems of everyday western life, questions that came up with his clients and himself. This is a rare opportunity to keenly observe the Dalai Lama and his replies. As these discussions bring up Tibetan Buddhist beliefs, the psychiatrist at first thinks them naive and simplistic. However, when tried out in the world, he is surprised to find them deeply profound and valuable. Reviewed by Roberta Beckman.

 Ethics For The New Millennium
by His Holiness The Dalai Lama
On May 15,2001 HH The Dalai Lama will speak on his bestselling book in Portland. What was most striking in this easy to read hardback was the term Universal Responsibility. These far reaching words are the basis for his presentation on societal and global ethics. The Dalai Lama easily illuminates how positive conduct leads to a happier life. Utilizing universal principles rather than religious principles he points the way towards empathy and care for the feelings of others. The capacity for empathy can then be transformed into love and compassion. Simply stated,' an ethical act is one where we refrain from causing harm to other's experience or expectations of happiness'. The Dalai Lama explains how ethical discipline involves the cultivation of virtue, love, compassion, patience, tolerance and forgiveness. Universal responsibility leads us to commitment to the principals of honesty. Honesty is when our actions are what they seem to be. This straight-forward, logical book can be read and shared with everyone. Reviewed by Jacqueline Mandell.
