Many of my friends and followers already know that I am intrigued by the Dalai Lama. I was privileged to hear him speak in person once and have been very moved by most of his interviews and books. What I have found most compelling is the apparent congruity between his teachings and his life. The Wisdom of Forgiveness: Intimate Conversations and Journeys by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Victor Chan describes this congruence beautifully.
The Dalai Lama teaches about emptiness, interdependence, and forgiveness. He speaks specifically about forgiveness for those who have treated you cruelly or unfairly. In his case, he speaks about forgiving the Chinese people who caused his exile.
The concepts in this book are meaningful all of the time, but seem more so during our current political and social upheaval. Whether you are Buddhist or not, check it out.
