Joy Lama

The occasion was a big birthday. And it inspired two close friends to get together in Dharamsala for a talk about something very important to them. The friends were His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. The subject was joy. Both winners of the Nobel Prize, both great spiritual masters and moral leaders of our time, they are also known for being among the most infectiously happy people on the planet.

In their only collaboration for children, His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu use their childhood stories to show young people how to find joy even in hard times and why sharing joy with others makes it grow. The two spiritual masters tell a simple story of how every child has joy inside them, even when it sometimes hides, and how we can find it, keep it close, and grow it by sharing it with the world.

La lignée des dalaï-lamas (ou du Dalaï-Lama) est la plus importante lignée de réincarnation postulée dans le bouddhisme tibétain et dans l'histoire du Tibet. Le Dalaï-lama, outre son autorité spirituelle, a exercé le pouvoir temporel à la tête du gouvernement tibétain. Ces 100 citations visent à donner accès à son œuvre monumentale par une sélection de ses pensées les plus marquantes, dans un format accessible à tous.

El laureado Premio Nobel de la Paz, Su Santidad el Dalai Lama, y el arzobispo Desmond Tutu han sobrevivido a más de cincuenta años de exilio, a varias persecuciones e incluso a situaciones de desgarradora violencia. A pesar de sus sufrimientos -o como ellos dirían, «gracias a ellos»- son dos de las personas más alegres del planeta.
