Using the traditional Buddhist allegorical image of the Wheel of Life and the teaching of the twelve links of dependent origination, the Dalai Lama deftly illustrates how our existence, though fleeting and often full of woes, brims with the potential for peace and happiness. We can realize that potential by cultivating a wise appreciation of the interdependency of actions and experience, and by living a kind and compassionate life. A life thus lived, the Dalai Lama teaches, becomes thoroughly meaningful for both oneself and for others.

This book was originally published under the title The Meaning of Life.

Industry Reviews

"Studded with jewels. The Wheel of Life points out how to bring together the theory of the Buddhist teachings and the practice of ordinary life. The central topics treated here in traditional fashion are absolutely fundamental in Buddhist thought. The Dalai Lama's exposition--thorough, gentle and precise--reflects the depth and breadth of his training, communicating the living quality of the tradition."-- "Shambhala Sun"
