About the original work:  In divided times such as these it is easier to blame than to understand. To punish, than to forgive. To ignore, than to help. How is it that we have cultivated such bad habits and come to treat others so poorly? These are the concerns of his Holiness the Dalai Lama in this short book, a compilation of speeches given in America in 1999, as he introduces the key ideas at the heart of Buddhism. However, the book is not designed to convert people to the religion. Rather it is an exploration of - and exhortation to - ways of seeing ourselves and others which emphasise our similarities instead of our differences, our interdependence instead of our separation, and a vision of our common humanity which fosters compassion as a way of life.
