The Power of Buddhism

His Holiness the Dalai Lama is famous for his skill in weaving together East and West, today and tomorrow, and offering an insight to an inner calm and clarity of mind that can become the fuel of our daily lives. He has never before directly addressed Buddhism's response to humanity's challenges as he does in these dialogues with the famous film writer, Jean-Claude Carriere. Covering such topics as women's and human rights, democracy and fundamentalism, education and science, terrorism and violence, the population explosion and our environment, he cuts through to the essence of each with a practical spiritual intelligence that brings insight and guidance as we approach the twenty-first century.
