About this listen

 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.

I found it helpful to have the book to follow and highlight the important passages as they related to my practice. A very clear, precise explanation of how to get the most from your efforts and to assist yourself and/or others.

Clear, concise and practical

What a great book! Couldn’t have picked a worse narrator though.. at times it feels like you’re listening to one this early computer narration software from the 90s. Dry as cardboard.
The content makes up for the poor narration. The book not only goes into Buddhism but also gives you great context on why things should be done the way they should be done. Also, there are a lot of easy to practice guidelines on meditation. The best part is that this book looks at meditation from many different angles. A very good book to start looking into and practicing Tibetan Buddhism.

Great book to start with.
