Summary:	"The Art of Living: A guide to contentment, joy and fulfillment by the Dalai Lama brings together profound, accessible teachings by His Holiness on living a joyful life with extraordinary images that offer insight into the rich cultural heritage of Tibetan Buddhism. His Holiness suggests how we can live peacefully with each other and the planet. He provides ways to deal with anger and negative emotions and techniques to cultivate open-heartedness and compassion." "Photographer Ian Cumming's images of landscapes and Tibetan people, both the monastic community and lay practitioners, take the reader on a photographic journey into the heart of Buddhist practice. The photographs, which accompany rather than illustrate the text, help us to deepen our appreciation of the context in which Tibetan Buddhism developed and to see how it is now practiced by those in Tibet as well as those in exile."--Jacket.

Description
Summary:	The Dalai Lama is one of the most beloved spiritual leaders of our age. In this book, he brings his wisdom and practical advice on how anyone (Buddhists as well as people from all faiths or none) can live a meaningful, joyful life. Illustrated with 150 sumptuous full colour photographs by Ian Cumming. Publishers Weekly called his pictures for A Simple Path (their previous callaboration) "stunning". Few gift books by the Dalai Lama exist despite his ever-increasing audience. This book will build on that success, with magical photographs of monks, the Himalayas and the Dalai Lama himself.
