Review: Simply Compassionate, Simple Read, Great Book

4.5 Stars

In my opinion His Holiness The Dalai Lama has two types of books - those that are incredibly complicated and difficult to read and those that are easy to read and more easily understandable - don't get me wrong they are all great books and I always get a lot out them.

The Compassionate Life is one of the easier ones. One of the easier reads and less complicated to digest.

It's focused on compassion and how to achieve a compassionate view - as well as the benefits of compassion.

I know this sounds somewhat simplistic as a description, but that's really what this boils down to - a simple and easy read - a focused topic for the student/listener - compassion.

I love reading what His Holiness The Dalai Lama has to say - like all his books - I closed this one with a smile on my face.

Summary: Inspiring and Beautifully Written
Review: The Compassionate Life is an inspiring and beautifully written work, deceptively simple. The Dalai Lama is a man with firm beliefs and his writings make that clear. You certainly don't have to be a Buddhist to find something inspirational here. I think anyone with an open mind will find this inspiring work a rewarding read.
