'The Good Heart' is a first in publishing history: never before has a Dalai Lama commented on the Gospels and so given us a unique way of reading these familiar sources of faith.
In this very accessible book, one of the world's most universally loved spiritual teachers penetrates with insight into such well-known passages as the Sermon on the Mount, the healing of the sick and the Resurrection. At the same time, throughout his commentary, the Dalai Lama opens windows of understanding for the modern spiritual seeker of any faith on such widespread concerns as inner transformation, meditation, ritual and the ideas of reward and punishment, heaven and hell.
In the context of the John Main Seminar, which brought Christians and Buddhists together in friendship from around the world, the Dalai Lama gives us a model of dialogue for the coming era of global spirituality - respecting both the parallels and differences between these two traditions - and also illuminating the goodness of the human heart.
