Introduction

Using the traditional Buddhist allegorical image of the Wheel of Life and the teaching of the twelve links of dependent origination, the Dalai Lama deftly illustrates how our existence, though fleeting and often full of woes, brims with the potential for peace and happiness.

Path to Peace and Happiness

We can realize that potential by cultivating a wise appreciation of the interdependency of actions and experience, and by living a kind and compassionate life.

The Meaning of a Compassionate Life

A life thus lived, the Dalai Lama teaches, becomes thoroughly meaningful for both oneself and for others.
