THE WISDOM OF FORGIVENESS His Holiness the Dalai Lama & Victor Chan
One of the most moving and inspiring books we have read for a long time, The Wisdom of Forgiveness is the most intimate look yet into the life and mind of HH the Dalai Lama. Victor Chan first met the Dalai Lama in 1972. Despite Chan’s worries that he might be received warily because of his Chinese heritage, His Holiness welcomed him warmly and a friendship quickly blossomed. Since then, Chan has been granted unprecedented access to the Tibetan leader. In relaxed conversation, at his prayers and meals, meeting other world leaders, and even during his illness in 2002, this personal account is filled with the Dalai Lama’s customary insight, humour and compassion. Are there any circumstances under which he would commit an act of violence? What does he do daily to develop spiritually? Why do doctors report that the heart of this holy man in his late sixties resembles that of a twenty-year-old? Victor Chan’s unique position gives us answers to these and many other personal questions, answers that not only fill us with admiration for this great man, but also renew our faith in ourselves and our humanity.
