Best-selling author Danette May, explains why she wrote her new book, The Rise
Today’s Sharing
from His Holiness the Dalai Lama
Just as we can’t assert that one medicine is best for everyone, because what is required will depend on the patient’s age, condition and ailment, we can’t state that a particular religious tradition is best. Different people may find different traditions and practices more effective for them. The important thing is to find a practice that helps tackle the destructive emotions.
We may sometimes feel that we can’t do much as individuals, but humanity is made up of individuals; we can make a difference. As individuals we can influence our own families. Our families can influence our communities and our communities can influence our nations. Wherever I can I talk about these things because as human beings we can work together to make a better world.
