How to Expand Love: Widening the Circle of Loving Relationships
(Atria, 2006)

In the primer on love and compassion, the Dalai Lama discusses the importance of giving and receiving love as the quintessential step to achieving a life of true happiness and fulfillment. He offers guidelines and illustrative examples from his own life that instruct readers on how to move away from self-centered egotistic concerns and habitual tendencies to rigidly judge and categorize others, in order to become more compassionate and accepting of everyone we encounter throughout the day. To assist this process, he also shares a seven-step process of exercises and techniques from Tibetan Buddhist tradition.

The Compassionate Life
(Wisdom, 2003)

A collection of writings that hones in on the Dalai Lama's most fundamental belief: that the purpose of life is to be happy. And one of the main ways to be happy is to practice love and compassion. The collection begins with a motivational discussion about cultivating love and compassion then moves onto specific techniques for doing so. Further along, the Dalai Lama integrates compassionate living with lessons on "The Bodhisattva Way" and "The Eight Verses for Training the Mind" (which delve into handling negative emotions and recognizing the illusion of reality).

Healing Anger: The Power of Patience from a Buddhist Perspective
(Snow Lion, 1997)

Drawing on a chapter from an important Buddhist classic, Shantideva's "Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life," the Dalai Lama helps readers examine how anger arises to destroy much that is positive and good, proposing that gentleness is fundamental to human nature. Through active self-discipline, and not meekness as is commonly misunderstood, we can transform anger through compassion and to be reconciled with ourselves and others.
