Description

When Victor Chan first met the Dalai Lama in 1972, it was after a series of adventures, some harrowing, that had taken the young traveler from his native Hong Kong, across Asia, until he arrived at His Holiness's residence in Dharamsala. Chan worried that the Tibetan leader might receive him warily because of his Chinese heritage. Instead, the Dalai Lama was amused by Chan's black ankle-length Moroccan cap and long ponytail, and this first encounter quickly blossomed into a warm, enduring friendship.

Over the next three decades, Chan would travel the globe with the Tibetan leader. From India to Ireland, from private meditation sessions to meetings with world leaders, Chan was granted unprecedented access.

The Wisdom of Forgiveness is a heart-to-heart conversation between the Dalai Lama and his dear friend. It allows us to discover what profound meditative insight and suffering feel like to an enlightened being; what he does daily to develop himself spiritually; how he feels about violence and the circumstances under which he could see committing an act of violence; how he has learned to love his enemies; and why it is that doctors report that the heart of this holy man in his late 60s resembles that of a 20-year-old.

We've heard the public voice of His Holiness, and now we are invited to listen in on his personal explorations, to accompany him on his own journey toward wisdom, and to take instruction on the Tibetan art of living. And after hearing the intimate voice of this great man, we are comforted in the knowledge that he is who we think he is, and he is not too good to be true.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"The book's serious call to forgiveness becomes all the more engaging and possible because of the Dalai Lama's own lighthearted spirit." (Publishers Weekly)

Amazing Journey

Candid story telling and invaluable lessons, Mr. Chan allowed me to live vicariously through his experience with the Dalai Lama.

Disrespectful and dissapointing

The writer has taken it upon himself to write about a topic that requires a deep understanding of compassion and consideration for others. He has attempted to write in service of the teachings of the Dalai Lama and the Llama's name appears above his in many searches. The writer of this book is a critically poor choice for the topic of forgiveness. His writing is cold and sensational, it implies that he lacks compassion and empathy as characteristic in himself, fundamental assets in understanding and articulating forgiveness. This is especially true when it comes to his understanding how to present transitions of topics and care, both for his audiance and for his subjects. His need for Journalistic shock value may be appropriate for sensationalist news stories but here, in a book whos audiance is largely scarred by pain and loss, here where people have reached out for wisdom, from the Dahl Llama himself, for a way to survive and process incredibly powerful emotions, here, this writer is groosely out of place. Here his lack of understanding, especially when recounting issues regarding women that have been through torture, here he falls short. Here his style is sad disappointment and in fact damaging to the reader. He does not understand trauma, he does not grasp the impact of the topic he has attempted to be a stuart of. He has increased harm to readers that have come looking for sanctuary and found themselves misunderstood, forced to relive their words nightmares as they attempt to find connection with peace but find themselves enduring the egotistical selfimportant musings of a cold ghost writer who is more interested in processing his own since of inadequacy on a world stage then he is grasping the point. Selflessness is an act of care for others, if that concept can not be understood then this writer has no business taking on this kind of writing ever again. It saddens me that I will not be able to reccomend this book to clients, and that I have work to do undoing the trauma this book has heightened in a portion of the population already fragile. It is so unfortunate I have become cautious of this publisher as well. Very poor choice. Absolutly would not reccomend to anyone who has suffered trauma and is looking for a way to find peace and forgiveness for themselves, their aggressor or their society. So sad.
