Dalajlama patří k největším duchovním autoritám současnosti. Nuceně pobývá v exilu, a snad právě proto může dobře zprostředkovat učení tibetského buddhismu lidem na Západě. Vnáší jeho myšlenky do kontextu s jinou duchovní tradicí, ale ukazuje je jako univerzálně platné nezávisle na čase a místě. Tato kniha pojednává o tom, že jedním z klíčů k duchovnímu prozření a osvobození je poznání sebe sama - úkol, jehož důležitosti a obtížnosti si byli od antiky vědomi i evropští myslitelé.

Trasând paralele între viața și învățăturile lui Iisus și ale lui Buddha, Sfinția Sa transmite un mesaj de afirmare profundă a sacrului și a armoniei între toate religiile, refuzând însă noțiunea unei credințe unice, universale.

L’effondrement de la biosphère à l’échelle planétaire fait planer une menace d’extinction sur la vie terrestre. Cette crise est révélatrice d’une Nouvelle Réalité. Le Dalaï-lama exhorte chacun à se transformer par la paix intérieure, l’altruisme et la compassion. La prise de conscience de nos interdépendances, intuition singulièrement moderne de la sagesse bouddhiste ancestrale, est partagée désormais par le pape, les scientifiques et les philosophes.
