His Holiness the Dalai Lama wrote in the “Forward” to Open Heart, Clear Mind that the book “conveys a clear understanding of Buddhism as it has been practised by Tibetans, in easily comprehensible language.” This study guide explores and reinforces key points and also contains several meditations not found in the book that help strengthen our determination to turn our attention away from worldly concerns to more important activities, such as cultivating compassion and wisdom.
