About this ebook
“One of the world’s greatest spiritual leaders reflects on his commitments as a human being, a Buddhist monk, and the fourteenth Dalai Lama.” —Booklist
In this elegant self-portrait, the world’s most outspoken and influential spiritual leader recounts his epic and engaging life story. The Dalai Lama’s most accessible and intimate book, My Spiritual Journey is an excellent introduction to the larger-than-life leader of Tibetan Buddhism—perfect for anyone curious about Eastern religion, invested in the Free Tibet movement, or simply seeking a richer spiritual life. The Dalai Lama’s riveting, deeply insightful meditations on life will resonate strongly with readers of Pema Chodron, Thich Nhat Hanh, or the His Holiness’s own The Art of Happiness and Ethics for the New Millennium.
“An intriguing portrait of the Tibetan spiritual leader.” —Los Angeles Times
“His Holiness the Dalai Lama is recognized throughout the world as one of our few true moral authorities. In My Spiritual Journey he shares lessons learned from a remarkable life, in turn showing us how to live our own lives with compassion, nonviolence, and love.” —Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize laureate
“‘Spirituality’ may be the most nebulous word in the English language, but My Spiritual Journey provides a definition that both devotee and atheist might approve: ‘the full blossoming of human values that is essential for the good of all.’” —The Washington Post

I rated this particular book by the Dalai Lama a 3 because it was a re-hash of his other books already written. So, if you've never read anything by him, you may enjoy it, but I feel the other books written were way better. Especially, "The Book of Joy" and "How to Practice the Way to a Meaningful Life."

He speaks of peace, but treats his people like dogs while he lives like a king.
