Anyone else read anything by H.H. The Dali Lama? If so, what did you think?

I borrowed this book "The Best Buddhist Writing 2005" from a Buddist friend of mine, and it had a section in there from the Dali Lama, and he was talking about the emptyness of emotions and the emptyness of mind. I thought it was quite insightful, and I liked it. It really piqued my intrest, and I was able to draw some connections with my Christian belifs.

What do you think of his (The Dali Lama) writings?

    I have many books of his, and I thoroughly love them. One of the best is "Destructive Emotions" by Daniel Goleman with the Dalai Lama. I love his book called "The Compassionate Life" and I love his philosophy in general. I think that he is the "real deal." He is altruistic and as genuine as anyone I have ever seen.

    I love the writings of the dalai lama. Also, you should check out the writings of the buddhist monk Thic Nhat Han. Wonderful.
