Synopsis:
The 17th Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje is, next to the Dalai Lama, one of the most important figures in Tibetan Buddhism and spiritual head of the Karma Kagyu school. This photographic gift book, which pairs full-page photographs with 108 sayings on how to live more compassionately and consciously, is the Karmapa's first mainsteam work. In it, he offers pithy advice on such universal and personal themes as social values, the environment, freedom, responsibility, loneliness, and contentment. Fresh, bold, timely photos and straightforward text make the ancient teachings of Buddhism accessible to everyone. In 2008 the Karmapa made his first trip to the West and attracted large crowds and publicity in America.

"The youthful Karmapa is emerging as one of the great spiritual teachers of the modern age." Mick Brown, author Dance of 17 Lives.

"In our times of conflict and imbalance, the presence of great beings of wisdom and compassion, such as the 17th Karmapa, is a powerful source of hope and inspiration, and a remainder that we want to see in the world. His words of wisdom provide deep insights into our modern world, symbolized here by the striking images gathered in this wonderful book." Matthieu Ricard.

"This book is an actual meeting with this great spiritual being. It is a feast for the eyes, a spur to the intellect, and a balm for the heart. As I moved from spread to spread of always significant and beautiful photography, I savoured the aphorisms and found them moving, thought-provoking, and delightful. It is historic in a unique way. I totally recommend it." Robert Thurman.
