How to Practice: The Way to a Meaningful Life

How to Practice will guide you toward opening your heart, refraining from doing harm, maintaining mental tranquillity, and more. Divided into a series of distinct steps that will lead spiritual seekers of all faiths toward enlightenment, this accessible audio book is a constant and daily companion in the quest to practice morality, meditation, and wisdom. The Dalai Lama shows us how to overcome our everyday obstacles, from feelings of anger and mistrust to jealousy, insecurity, and counterproductive thinking. Imbued with His Holiness' vivacious spirit and sense of playfulness, How to Practice offers the Dalai Lama's own sage and very practical insight into the human psyche and what binds us all together.
