From His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Mutt's cartoonist and award-winning author Patrick McDonnell comes a powerful and timely gem of a book on how to heal our relationship with the planet and each other.
At the Dalai Lama's residence in Dharamsala, India, an unusual visitor has arrived. His Holiness interrupts his morning meditation to greet a troubled Giant Panda who has travelled many miles to see him. Welcoming him as a friend, His Holiness invites the Panda on a walk through a cedar forest. There in the shadow of the Himalayas, surrounded by beauty, they discuss matters great and small . . .
With a galvanizing message about the future of our planet?text by His Holiness accompanied by McDonnell's masterful illustrations?Heart to Heart calls for a Compassionate Revolution, reminding us that ?we are indeed all members of a single family, sharing one little house.? Told with whimsy, wisdom, and warmth, this beautiful book is deceptively simple in its approach and all the more powerful for it, as it elegantly and decisively conveys a message of joy, hope and change.
?There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called Yesterday, and one is called Tomorrow.?
Über den Autor Dalai Lama
Tenzin Gyatso, 14. Dalai Lama, geboren 1935 in Osttibet, wurde mit fünf Jahren als geistliches und weltliches Oberhaupt der Tibeter eingesetzt. Bei der Annexion Tibets durch China ging er 1959 ins Exil. 1989 wurde ihm der Friedensnobelpreis verliehen. Nach einer Umfrage von 'GEO-Wissen' gilt er als der Weiseste der Weisen. 'Dalai Lama' bedeutet im Tibetischen denn auch: Lehrer, dessen Weisheit so groß ist wie der Ozean.
