When the Dalai Lama paid a visit to Emory University, he offered an introductory lecture to Tibetan Buddhism. The lecture is not exactly what you’d normally get in the university classroom.

In a clear and engaging way, this book shows how the principle of emptiness, the philosophic heart of Tibetan Buddhism, connects intimately to quantum nonlocality and other foundational features of quantum mechanics.

"All people are united in the pursuit of happiness and the desire to avoid suffering," His Holiness reminds us. "This is the source of humanity's greatest achievements."

In Tibet werden die Worte großer Meister in Büchern gesammelt, die den Titel "Ratschläge des Herzens" tragen. Diese Tradition greift der Dalai Lama hier auf.

Dalajlama patří k největším duchovním autoritám současnosti. Nuceně pobývá v exilu, a snad právě proto může dobře zprostředkovat učení tibetského buddhismu lidem na Západě. Vnáší jeho myšlenky do kontextu s jinou duchovní tradicí, ale ukazuje je jako univerzálně platné nezávisle na čase a místě. Tato kniha pojednává o tom, že jedním z klíčů k duchovnímu prozření a osvobození je poznání sebe sama - úkol, jehož důležitosti a obtížnosti si byli od antiky vědomi i evropští myslitelé.
