Dalai Lama's Book of Love & Compassion
I couldn't put this book down, it was warming to read what His Holiness had to say about people around the world. If you are religious or not this book is worth reading, it will give you a better understanding of people of all backgrounds and how we are all different but still human beings.
This was my first book I have read by HH Dalai Lama and I know this will not be the last. Such a great man!
