Following on their last Himalayan Buddhist book, Danielle & Olivier Föllmi wish to deepen the message of the Tibetans with this new book. On topics of concern to our contemporaries, the greatest teachers and thinkers of Tibetan Buddhism (Buddha Shakyamuni, Pema Chödröôn, His Holiness the fourteenth Dalai Lama, Arnaud Desjardins, Khyentse Rinpoche, Rinpoche Dudjom, Joseph Goldstein, Lama Anagarika Govinda, Kalou Rinpoche, Jack Kornfield, Milarepa, Matthieu Ricard, Sharon Salzberg, Shabkar, Shantideva, Sogyal Rinpoche, Chogyam Trungpa) transmit to us their vision of life, a vision that encourages them to constantly excel and grow in humanity. Fifty-two themes punctuate the year and offer guidance to accompany each throughout his life, whatever your beliefs and your religious tradition. A book of wisdom to think about, day after day throughout the year.
