Customer Reviews

A reviewer's path

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...

A Piece of Peace

The daily wisdoms of the Dalai Lama have inspired me each morning . The last thing I do before heading out the door is read my wisdom for the day. It has inspired me, made me think before I act and, most important, made me think about how and why others act. This is the first book by the Dalai Lama I have owned. I am so inspired by it that I have given it as gifts to my friends. His Holiness has such insight and is an inspiration to read. I reccommend this book to everyone, religous or not, as I believe we all need a positive thought to begin our day.

Life Lessons

This book is a must for everyone, even if you do not follow Buddhism. The Dalai Lama speaks to the heart and soul of civilization in this book, a collection of his writings, segmented for daily reading. He has amazing insights on how to live life as a happy, healthy, functioning member of society. A friend calls this "written Prozac". It makes you feel good!

The Dalai Lama has wisdom beyond beleif!

I am not a buddhist, nor do I have any intentions of becoming one. But I must admit that this Audio book is full of wisdom. I was blown away over and over by the sayings of the Dalai Lama. Of all the people I have read or heard, I must admit that he is the wisest of all.If you don't mind an occasional reference to reincarnation and rebirth (as a christian, I do not hold these beleifs), then the wisdom from this audio book is more than worth it.
