Find lasting happiness, inner peace, and enlightenment through the Dalai Lama’s timeless teachings on mindfulness, compassion, and the Buddhist path to wisdom.

As human beings, we all seek happiness and a sense of meaning in our lives. In How to Practice, His Holiness the Dalai Lama—spiritual leader of Tibet, Nobel Peace Prize winner, and internationally bestselling author—shows how true fulfillment begins within. Drawing from centuries of Buddhist wisdom, he offers a clear, step-by-step path to cultivating morality, meditation, and wisdom, the three essential elements of enlightenment.

Through practical teachings on compassion, mindfulness, and self-awareness, the Dalai Lama helps readers overcome daily obstacles such as anger, jealousy, and insecurity. With warmth, humor, and clarity, he reveals how to open your heart, live ethically, and achieve lasting mental tranquility. How to Practice is both a profound spiritual manual and a gentle companion for anyone seeking peace in a modern, distracted world.©2002 His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Jeffrey Hopkins, All Rights Reserved; (P)2002 Simon & Schuster, Inc.; SOUND IDEAS Is an Imprint of Simon & Schuster Audio Division, Simon & Schuster, Inc.

Listen to it and life could be easier

The voice is just like the writer. Many useful thoughts be told. Try to practice it in daily life, and you will find yourself happier than before.

Interesting but detailed

It gets a bit esoteric towards the end. Narrator was a bit subpar. Still worth a listen.

Concise Explanation of Buddhism and It's Practice

As I am new to Buddhism, I have floundered in finding a personal, daily practice. I'm one that cannot truly commit myself to anything without having a personal understanding and conviction of that understanding. His Holiness the Dalai Lama has beautifully presented here a concise and easily understood teaching of the basic principles of Buddhism, and offered suggestion as to how to incorporate those principles into your daily life. I am most grateful for this book and the friend that suggested it to me.

Truly excellent

His holiness does well to teach us how we as laypeople can adapt the monastic way of life to our daily lives. It was advanced, perhaps not for beginners. However, I loved it. He tells you don't give up! It's going to be difficult but don't ever give up.

recommend

I've listened to this twice and working on a third time. I really recommend it.
