Heart to Heart with the Dalai Lama

 

A Valentine to the Planet

 


Written by SurfWriter Girls Sunny Magdaug and Patti Kishel

His Holiness the Dalai Lama and celebrated Mutts cartoonist Patrick McDonnell might seem like an unlikely pair, but both are committed to protecting the environment and the future of our planet for all creatures large and small.

Together they have created a treasure of a book, Heart to Heart: A Conversation on Love and Hope for Our Precious Planet.


 

The duo is calling for a "compassionate revolution" in which we all come together to tap our feelings of compassion to stand up for the endangered species whose lands, and very homes, are being destroyed by unlimited development and pollution. 

In doing so, we will also be standing up for ourselves and the type of world we want to live in, filled with natural beauty and the sounds of birdsong.

The Dalai Lama says that he "welcomes everyone as a friend. In truth we share the same basic goals. We all seek happiness and do not want suffering." 

So, when a giant Panda shows up at his door the Dalai Lama is happy to see him and ready to accompany him on a life-changing journey. 


It's a journey of enlightenment that we all can go on through the pages of this book.

 

A beautiful book to read, share or give for Valentine's Day, Heart to Heart will touch your heart and remind you of the power of love and the positive impact that even one act of kindness can have on making the world a better place.
