As it turns out, Buddha had quite a lot to say on the subject of gratitude, including citing it as one of the four keys to the Gate of Heaven. Studies show - and experts counsel - that gratitude is a key component of our happiness. People who are grateful about events and experiences from the past, who celebrate triumphs instead of focusing on losses or disappointments, tend to be more satisfied. Gratitude can help us transform our fears into courage, our anger into forgiveness, our isolation into belonging, and another’s pain into healing.

În acest volum de referință atât pentru creștini, cât și pentru budiști, Dalai Lama ne prezintă viziunea sa profundă asupra învățăturilor lui Iisus, făcând comentarii revelatoare asupra unor pasaje bine cunoscute din Evanghelii. Predica de pe munte, Schimbarea la față sau Învierea sunt privite, astfel, într-o lumină nouă, deschise unor percepții neașteptate. 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.
