In Tibetan, the title "Dalai Lama" means "Ocean of Wisdom." After reading this collection of enlightening quotes, I believe that the phrase will be easier to comprehend.

The author, Ms. Gee, superbly provides a concise selection of inspirational thoughts from one of the great thinkers of our time, His Holiness, the Dalai Lama. The quotes contain personal reflections from his own life, along with observations about the human spirit. The quotes range from incisive one liners, along with more detailed reflections. The reader will discover humor, candor, and most of all, compassion.

The book is small, and could be read over a lunch break. But to truly digest its meanings, no doubt you will read it many times. The simplicity in the message, along with the depth of compassion, will enlighten and provide solace to the reader.

Thank you for the opportunity to review this book.
