These fresh, spirited dialogues offer the reader deep insight into the nature of suffering, compassion, and liberation. During 3 days in October 1989 in Southern California, the Dalai Lama and seven highly accomplished panelists engaged one another about critical issues of our time -- inner city violence, the Vietnam War and its aftermath, the teacher-student relationship, environmental destruction, the role of women, and more. These wide-ranging yet very focused exchanges bridge personal and global concerns and teach us ways of being, thinking, and acting in the world with equanimity and deep understanding.
