One of the founding principles behind Tiny Buddha is that simple wisdom, when applied, can have a huge effect on happiness, mindfulness and peace—not just for you, but also for the people around you.
The most helpful ideas might not seem so simple in the context of our complex lives; but oftentimes, we make things more complicated than necessary by filtering them through a negative attitude or thinking too much and applying too little.
That’s makes The Dalai Lama’s Little Book of Wisdom so compelling: it’s simultaneously profound and simple. It provides some of the most helpful of the Dalai Lama’s teachings in palatable, bite-size chunks.
Having had a copy on my nightstand for over a year, I couldn’t have been more excited to receive three copies to give away to readers.
The book offers insights about finding contentment, dealing with anger and emotions, transforming the mind, and more; and concludes with a question and answer section that addresses how to apply Buddhist wisdom to real life.
Many of the highlighted passages in my copy have come to you via the Tiny Buddha Twitter stream, and more likely will down the line.
As the book flap reads:“His Holiness shows us how our state of mind, in terms of our attitudes and emotions, plays a crucial role in how we experience happiness and suffering. With characteristic humor and a down-to-earth approach to the Buddhist path, His Holiness the Dalai Lama offers us an inspirational way to transform our hearts and minds and create the happiness we seek.”

Though I run this site, it is not mine. It's ours. It's not about me. It's about us. Your stories and your wisdom are just as meaningful as mine. 
Just what I need these days 🙂
simple words for a simple life… 🙂
I Love You.
I know it's going to be a great book!
When I want to know too much, want to do too much, and become overwhelmed by it all, I remember these lyrics:
Slow down, you move too fast.
You got to make the morning last.
Just kicking down the cobble stones.
Looking for fun and feelin' groovy.
Ba da, Ba da, Ba da, Ba da…Feelin' Groovy.
Hello lamp-post,
What cha knowin'?
I've come to watch your flowers growin'.
Ain't cha got no rhymes for me?
Doot-in' doo-doo,
Feelin' groovy.
I've got no deeds to do,
No promises to keep.
I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep.
Let the morning time drop all its petals on me.
Life, I love you,
All is groovy.

I am yet to be blessed by the wisdom of the great Dalai Lama, and I've only recently started reading in to philosophy.
I'm just searching for a greater frame of mind and a wider perspective in life, hopefully a book like this might help me on my way!

yeeeeah!!! his holiness :]
I hope I win!
When I was unemployed for months and months, it'd be my books on meditation that I'd bring to the river bench with me.. Watching the water and listening to the seed pods crack and pop above my head kept me grounded and hopeful. I was able to enjoy the dog walkers and be reminded that “this too shall pass”.
I could always use more wise words!!!
Simple & straight forward,I already like it!
I have been studying Buddhism for a few years but have never picked up this book. I would love a copy! Thanks for the opportunity.
I like winning things

I would love a copy. his Holiness is a great “man”. janmabey@hotmail.com
This could be another valuable resource in my journey.
I'm in the middle of an exciting but overwhelming move. I took a moment to check my emails and almost didn't read tinybuddha this time. However, I remembered that it is at such times of overwhelm that I need to check in with myself and see if the “tapes” I am running are consistent with the way I want to live. tinybuddha is often a good reminder. Thanks!
It would indeed be wonderful to receive a copy of the Dalai Lama's Little Book of Wisdom – thank you.
Does not matter if I am having a good day, bad day or experieincing a high or a low – there is always something insightful to be found on Tiny Buddah
Thanks
I can always use more wisdom.
Would love this.
I am eager to know the divine writing by one of the most renowned GURU, and true symbol for peace.
I love reading a comment in a book I have from the Dalai Lama as I begin the day. Gets it off on the right foot.
Thank you for the opportunity! =)
People are often surprised at the immense and joyous humor that the Dalai Lama possesses. He's the kind of living example of his own wisdom that's undeniable.
I love your tweets and i always retweet them keep up the good work 🙂
I'm going to Thailand and Cambodia this summer and would love to read this beforehand
My girlfriend looks a little like Charlize Theron and a lot like Dog the Bounty Hunter.
This book looks so interesting. Woot for the Dalai Lama and tiny buddha.
