• Inspiration for inner transformation
• Insight into the principle of interdependent arising
• Opportunity to break the cycle of cyclical existence

This book is a collection of lectures that His Holiness the Dalai Lama gave in Great Britain, touching on the most fundamental questions of existence. Why are we in these and not other circumstances? Where are we going? How should we live? Does our life have any meaning at all? These questions, which have preoccupied humanity for centuries, find their answers in the deep Buddhist philosophy.

In the book "The Meaning of Life from a Buddhist Perspective", the Dalai Lama discusses these issues in the context of the principle of interdependent arising (pratityasamutpada), which is fundamental to Buddhism, whose symbolic representation is the image of the Wheel of Life and Death. The Dalai Lama explains the twelve links of interdependent arising, showing how beings are condemned to a cycle of cyclical existence due to ignorance. However, there is a possibility to interrupt this process, the possibility to transform the prison of the ego into a source of happiness.

This book is an invaluable source of knowledge for all who wish to explore the secrets of Buddhism and find meaning in their lives. The Dalai Lama explains intricate philosophical concepts with remarkable simplicity and wisdom, making them accessible to every reader. It is a read that can transform your perception of the world and help you achieve inner peace.

In this book, the Dalai Lama also considers many other difficult problems that we encounter in our lives: how to deal with internal and external aggression, how to reconcile personal responsibility with the doctrine of non-self, how to face a fatal illness, how to help a dying person, how to reconcile love for family with love for all beings, how to integrate Buddhist practice into everyday life? It is a true guide to a happy and fulfilled life, based on the wisdom of Buddhism.
