So many books by or with the Dalai Lama have been written in English that I was surprised to learn that the Dalai Lama has also published original books in other languages. Thus Dalai Lama's new book, "My Spiritual Journey" (2010) initially appeared in French in 2009. The book consists of excerpts from speeches, interviews, and other books of the Dalai Lama over the years. While the words are the Dalai Lama's, the selections of the texts and the format are by Sofia Stril-Rever, his long-time interpreter and a scholar of Sanskrit and translator. As Stril-Rever relates in her Foreword to the book, her original plan was to prepare a series of the Dalai Lama's important texts that had not already been translated into French. She wanted to use texts that captured the Dalai Lama's approach to spirituality and to humanity.As Stril-Rever's work progressed, she realized her excerpts had a progression that illustrated the Dalai Lama's life and preoccupations over time. Thus she changed the planned title of her collection, "Appeal to the World" to "My Spiritual Autobiography". Stril-Rever also wrote extensive commentary and transitional material to accompany the texts. The Dalai Lama approved the book and Stril-Rever's approach.When the book was translated into English by Charlotte Mandell, the American publisher changed the title to "My Spiritual Journey". The book is not an "autobiography" in the strict sense because of its episodic character and because of Stril-Rever's large role in choosing and commenting upon the texts. The book still seems to me broader and more thematically-oriented to be either a personal spiritual journey or an autobiography. Stril-Rever's initial thought which characterized the book as an "Appeal to the World" best summarizes the content.The book is organized in three broad sections, each of which consider one of what the Dalai Lama describes as his "Three Commitments in Life." The selections are short and pithy with introductory headings and comments by Stril-Rever. At times, the references to the initial sources of the passages could be clearer. The first of the Dalai Lama's commitments in life is as a "human being". This is the pivotal section of the book in which the Dalai Lama speaks of the universal character of the human condition, the need to be loved and to avoid pain, as the basis for a teaching of compassion and altruism. The value that people share by virtue of their humanity is more important that what divides them in terms of nationhood, religion, or race. The selections in this part of the book also describe the Dalai Lama's childhood and the preparations he underwent to fulfill his appointed role as Tibetan Buddhism's spiritual leader.The second of the Dalai Lama's commitments in life is to his role as a Buddhist monk. In the selections explaining this commitment, the Dalai Lama speaks of the value of religious pluralism. ("Despite their different concepts and philosophies, all the chief religious traditions bring us the same message of love, compassion, tolerance, temperance and self-discipline. They also have in common their potential to help us lead a happier life.") He also discusses in simple terms the difficult Buddhist teachings of impermanence, lack of identity, and dependent origination. The Dalai Lama finds that Buddhism and religion have a transformative character, away from selfishness and the transitory, to inwardness and altruism. The selections in the book under the heading "Transforming our Minds" are particularly worthwhile. The Dalai Lama speaks of the relationship between the life of the religious ascetic and the lives of most people. The following passage (p. 98) addresses both religious pluralism and Buddhist teachings."We are not all called to such an accomplishment. [ascetic practices leading to Buddhist realization] It is better, for our daily practice, to stay at home, keeping our professional and family life while still learning to become better from day to day and adhering to a positive mode of life that will contribute to the good of society, according to the principles of the Dharma. We should choose professions in the areas of education, health, or social services. We should avoid renouncing everything for a solitary retreat. The aim is not to devote ourselves solely to spiritual practice, to lead a life lost in the glaciers. We should progress by degrees, steadily, taking care not to have extreme views, in a spirit of steadfastness and perseverance."The third of the Dalai Lama's commitments in life is to his role as the Dalai Lama. The Dalai Lama states that "I have a special responsibility to the Tibetan people, for they continue to place their hope and confidence in me during this critical period of our history." The texts in this section discuss the conflict between China and Tibet which resulted in the Dalai Lama's escape to India in 1959 and the establishment of the Tibetan government in exile. Ultimately, the Dalai Lama received worldwide fame and attention for his efforts to resolve the plight of his people, to preserve their religion and culture, and to return to their homeland in a nonviolent way. The issue with Tibet, of course, continues; and the selections in the book offer an overview of the Dalai Lama's role and attitude beginning with the Chinese occupation of Tibet in 1950 and continuing to the present. Unlike his stated commitments as a person and as a Buddhist monk, the Dalai Lama writes that his commitment in the role for which he became famous is only temporal in character and will end upon a mutally satisfactory resolution of the Tibet-Chinasituation.The book has the character of antholology on subjects which the Dalai Lama has written about in more detail elsewhere. I find it useful to read the Dalai Lama's books periodically to revisit and rethink his spiritual teachings. If not a full description of the Dalai Lama's own spiritual journey, this book does describe his commitments and the basis of his teachings. Stril-Rever's accompanying commentary is reverential and also useful. This book may make a good basic introduction for newcomers to the Dalai Lama as well as a good refresher for his admirers.Robin Friedman
I find it very hard to write about this man, the Dalai Lama, besides mainly reviewing his book, "My Spiritual Journey." He is a person of very high intelligence as compared to the general population. He also has most strongly been cultivated in the tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. His best character is that of a person who is able and quick at grasping the point or grasping the essential thing of what basically that is going on. (I have also found this point to be true by watching "10 Questions for the Dalai Lama" documentary.)This book is composed mainly of three parts; The Dalai Lama as a Human Being, the Dalai Lama as a Buddhist monk, and The Dalai Lama as the Dalai Lama.The collector of his various speeches, writings, and interviews that compose this book is Sofia Stril-Rever. The translator is Charlotte Mandell.The part that I am most interested in and find it to be excellent for meditators is the part on Buddhist teachings. Here the teachings are very clear. I think they can be summed up in these three quotes with my annotations."To say that all things are interdependent means that they have no inherent existence." P. 108This is about the doctrine of nonself. This doctrine is well-known in Buddhism. It says all things have no entity or being and that the nature of all things is relatedness or interdependence. The analysis of the mind through meditation will bring a person to understand this truth."As long as grasping and fixating on the self and on phenomena persist, the cause of suffering cannot be eliminated." P.115The self is not real and the mental phenomena are not real. Grasping of them as real brings suffering. For example, a man's ignorance to grasp a woman as his real possession brings suffering when she departs from him. The main thing that Buddhism teaches is the elimination of suffering."Dharma - that is the teaching of the Buddha." P. 115"Dharma leads beyond suffering to Nirvana." P. 115"...nirvana, a state beyond the mental obscurations." P. 115In Buddhism, it is revered that the Buddha teaches the way to liberate oneself out of suffering. When one has reached the end of suffering, one has reached the state called Nirvana. Nirvana is a word from Sanskrit which means a blowing out. It refers to the extinguishing of things that cause suffering, as the Dalai Lama states, namely, three mental poisons are ignorance, desire, and hatred.One thing you should know about the Dalai Lama is that he escaped from the Chinese Communist ruling in Lhasa, Tibet (1959) to establish The Tibetan Government in Exile in India and he has resided in India up until the present time.He received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989 due to his insistence on world peace and nonviolence. As an example, he proposes a spiritual revolution to correct the social problems (such as murder, drug addiction, or rape).To this spiritual aim, the Dalai Lama states:"Whoever transforms himself, transforms the world." P. 124 and"I call love and compassion a universal religion. That is my religion." P. 122
I'm surprised by the intimacy perhaps, and moved by how effortlessly what's important is communicated in this personal biography. Example: (my words) ...once you have all you need materially (goods) then move onto working in society for values. I've butchered the words, but pointing out these heart to heart shared experiences bring His Holiness' presence to a deep personally experienced place, quickly. The common sense directs, the clarity motivates to do something positive. I've heard His Holiness teach many times in many countries; The country for this book...The Kindle in my bed in the middle of dark and uncertain nights. And His Holiness, as always relighting a purpose and motivation to live in heartfelt connection with others and, as always, bringing my mind to that focused peaceful sleep where waking opens up a hopeful day.
