Dem Leben einen Sinn geben

The Dalai Lama's Bestseller on the Meaning of Life

In this guide and wisdom book, the Dalai Lama explains the prerequisites for a meaningful life and what each of us can do to achieve it.

We are all seekers of meaning and want to lead a happy and fulfilling life. The Dalai Lama shows us in this book how to achieve this and encourages us to give our lives a spiritual orientation. The Nobel Peace Prize laureate introduces us to the central themes of Buddhism: patience, self-confidence, mindfulness, and wisdom.

By intentionally developing these inner qualities, we can better cope with burdensome emotions and negative thought spirals, ultimately freeing ourselves from them. Only then can we live peacefully in the long term. And living peacefully ultimately leads us to die peacefully as well.

Inspirations for meditation help us practice compassion and mindfulness. This way, we learn what it means to live purposefully and to bring Buddhism into our everyday lives.

For our personal happiness lies solely in our hands.
