About the Book

Un bestseller instantáneo del New York Times.

Dos gigantes espirituales. Cinco días. Una pregunta atemporal.

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.

En abril del año 2015, el arzobispo Tutu viajó a casa del Dalai Lama en Dharamsala, India, para acompañarlo en la celebración de su ochenta aniversario. Aprovechando la ocasión se dispusieron a crear algo que, esperaban, se convirtiera en un regalo para otros. Mirando atrás en sus largas vidas se propusieron responder a una única y candente pregunta:¿Cómo podemos encontrar la alegría mientras afrontamos el inevitable sufrimiento de la vida?

En el transcurso de aquella semana, ambos intercambiaron historias, bromearon y compartieron sus prácticas espirituales. Tras esos días llenos de risas, y algunas lágrimas, estos dos héroes mundiales miraron en el abismo y la desesperación de nuestros tiempos y encontraron la manera de vivir una vida llena de alegría.

Este libro nos ofrece la inusual oportunidad de compartir con estos dos grandes hombres la sorprendente y original semana que pasaron juntos, desde el primer abrazo hasta la despedida final. Los escucharemos mientras exploran la naturaleza de la verdadera alegría y se enfrentan a todas sus barreras desde el miedo y el estrés y la rabia y el dolor hasta la enfermedad y la muerte y aprenderemos de sus «Ocho pilares de la alegría», que nos proporcionan recursos para una felicidad duradera.

El arzobispo nunca ha proclamado su santidad, y el Dalai Lama se considera a sí mismo un simple monje. En esta colaboración única, nos ofrecen las reflexiones de unas vidas llenas de dolor y desorden en medio de las cuales han sido capaces de descubrir un estado de paz, coraje y alegría que puede inspirarnos en nuestra propia vida.

El libro de la alegría no es solo una muestra de la profunda sabiduría de estos dos grandes líderes sino también de su humanidad, humor y pasión por la vida y los seres humanos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

An instant New York Times bestseller

Two spiritual giants. Five days. One timeless question.

 
Nobel Peace Prize Laureates His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu have survived more than fifty years of exile and the soul-crushing violence of oppression. Despite their hardships—or, as they would say, because of them—they are two of the most joyful people on the planet.

In April 2015, Archbishop Tutu traveled to the Dalai Lama's home in Dharamsala, India, to celebrate His Holiness's eightieth birthday and to create what they hoped would be a gift for others. They looked back on their long lives to answer a single burning question: How do we find joy in the face of life's inevitable suffering?

They traded intimate stories, teased each other continually, and shared their spiritual practices. By the end of a week filled with laughter and punctuated with tears, these two global heroes had stared into the abyss and despair of our time and revealed how to live a life brimming with joy.

This book offers us a rare opportunity to experience their astonishing and unprecendented week together, from the first embrace to the final good-bye.

We get to listen as they explore the Nature of True Joy and confront each of the Obstacles of Joy—from fear, stress, and anger to grief, illness, and death. They then offer us the Eight Pillars of Joy, which provide the foundation for lasting happiness. Throughout, they include stories, wisdom, and science. Finally, they share their daily Joy Practices that anchor their own emotional and spiritual lives.

The Archbishop has never claimed sainthood, and the Dalai Lama considers himself a simple monk. In this unique collaboration, they offer us the reflection of real lives filled with pain and turmoil in the midst of which they have been able to discover a level of peace, of courage, and of joy to which we can all aspire in our own lives.

About the Author :
Su Santidad el XIV Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, se describe a sí mismo como un simple monje budista. Es el líder espiritual del pueblo tibetano y del budismo tibetano. Fue galardonado con el Premio Nobel de la Paz en 1989 y la Medalla de Oro del Congreso de Estados Unidos en 2007. Nacido en 1935 en una familia campesina pobre en el noreste del Tíbet, fue reconocido a la edad de dos años como la reencarnación de su predecesor, el decimotercer Dalai Lama. Ha sido un apasionado defensor de un enfoque universal secular para cultivar los valores humanos fundamentales. Durante más de tres décadas, el Dalai Lama ha mantenido una conversación y una colaboración continuas con científicos de una amplia gama de disciplinas, especialmente a través del Mind and Life Institute, una organización que cofundó. El Dalai Lama viaja mucho para promover la bondad y la compasión, el entendimiento interreligioso, el respeto por el medio ambiente y, sobre todo, la paz mundial. Vive en el exilio en Dharamsala, India. Para obtener más información, visite www.dalailama.com.

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
