The official book of His Holiness the Dalai Lama's teachings from his 2002 visit to Australia and New Zealand.
Accessibly written and compiled from the original transcripts by the official translator and editor, Dr Thupten Jinpa, the Dalai Lama's warmth, wisdom and humour make this book appealing for both the general reader and students of Buddhism alike.
Structured around the main teachings, 'Lighting The Path' includes teachings on the main Buddhist principles in The Four Noble Truths; transforming the mind in The Eight Verses on Mind Training; and the path to enlightenment in Atisha's "Lamp for the Path".
It also includes speeches and question and answer sessions from both the youth events and the public talks, in which the Dalai Lama addresses current issues, with an emphasis on "universal responsibility".
