About this audiobook
From His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Mutt’s cartoonist and award-winning author Patrick McDonnell comes a powerful and timely gem of a book on how to heal our relationship with the planet and each other.
At the Dalai Lama’s residence in Dharamsala, India, an unusual visitor has arrived. His Holiness interrupts his morning meditation to greet a troubled Giant Panda who has travelled many miles to see him. Welcoming him as a friend, His Holiness invites the Panda on a walk through a cedar forest. There in the shadow of the Himalayas, surrounded by beauty, they discuss matters great and small . . .
With a galvanizing message about the future of our planet, Heart to Heart calls for a Compassionate Revolution, reminding us that “we are indeed all members of a single family, sharing one little house.” Told with whimsy, wisdom, and warmth, this beautiful book is deceptively simple in its approach and all the more powerful for it, as it elegantly and decisively conveys a message of joy, hope and change.
“There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called Yesterday, and one is called Tomorrow.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama was born in 1935 in Taktser in the northeastern part of Tibet. After the occupation of Tibet by the People’s Republic of China in 1959, he fled to India, from where he has since worked for a mutually acceptable solution for a genuine autonomy of his homeland. In 1989 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Benevento most recently published his SPIEGEL bestseller Be Rebels of Peace (2018).View all by Dalai Lama, Patrick McDonnell
