Product Description
One Breath at a Time
Author: His Holiness the Dalai Lama
Format: Paperback
108 Timeless Teachings of Wisdom
One Breath at a Time distils 108 of the Dalai Lama's teachings, an auspicious number in Buddhist tradition that marks the journey from delusion to awakening. Each is followed by a poetic reflection and a brief meditation by a close disciple, inviting the reader to move from understanding to experience, from thought to transformation.
The book unfolds like a quiet pilgrimage: Beginning with mindfulness, deepening into compassion and wisdom, and opening finally into a way of living guided by a moral compass. It may be opened anywhere for daily reflection or followed as a continuous path of practice.
This tender and radiant volume invites readers of every background to inhabit the Dalai Lama's wisdom in the simplest of ways, to pause, to breathe, and to meet the world with steadiness and care, one breath at a time.
In this luminous collection, offered as a celebration of the Dalai Lama's ninetieth birthday, his essential teachings are distilled, each a crafted and authentic doorway to transformation-gentle yet profound, clear yet mysterious, accessible yet pointing towards depths that require a lifetime to fathom.
This is not a book about Buddhism but about being human. Not about belief but about investigation. Not about escaping the world but about engaging it with wisdom and compassion, one breath at a time.
About the Author
His Holiness the Dalai Lama is the 14th and current Dalai Lama.
In 1959, after the collapse of the Tibetan resistance, the Dalai Lama fled to India where he was active in establishing the Tibetan government in exile and seeking to preserve Tibetan culture and education among the thousands of refugees who accompanied him. A charismatic figure and noted public speaker, His Holiness is the first Dalai Lama to travel to the West. As a result, he has helped spread Buddhism and promote the concepts of universal responsibility, secular ethics, and religious harmony
