Nobel Peace Prize winners His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu share their own childhood struggles to show young readers how they can thrive and find joy even during the most challenging times in this picture book adaptation of the international bestseller The Book of Joy. If you just focus on the thing that is making you sad, then the sadness is all you see. But if you look around, you will see that joy is everywhere. In their only collaboration for children, His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu use their childhood stories to show young people how to find joy even in hard times and why sharing joy with others makes it grow. The two spiritual masters tell a simple story, vibrantly brought to life by bestselling illustrator Rafael López, of how every child has joy inside them, even when it sometimes hides, and how we can find it, keep it close, and grow it by sharing it with the world. Sprung from the friendship, humor, and deep affection between these holy men, the book is a perfectly timed and important gift from two revered spiritual leaders to children. It is a reminder that joy is abundant—no matter what challenges we face—and has the power to transform the world around us even in the darkest of times.

This work contains forewords by Desmond M. Tutu, Archbishop Emeritus, Cape Town, South Africa and Mogobe Ramose, Chairperson and Professor of Philosophy, Department of Philosophy, University of South Africa. "Health, Trade and Human Rights" shows how a policy of ''free'' rather than ''fair'' trade increasingly undermines Third World health. It clearly illustrates how the looming environmental crisis combined with growing levels of health inequity will have adverse effects and details precisely how the ''basic human rights'' enshrined in the UN Charter have gradually become subsidiary to the dictates of free trade, enforced by the World Trade Organisation. This groundbreaking new book argues the need for impartial, data-based, and transnational arbitration of equity in health and other human rights - and suggests how this might be accomplished without violence to national rights, with an emphasis on ''regional free trade''. "Health, Trade and Human Rights" provides vital, thought provoking information for general readers with an interest in the Third World and social welfare. Academics and students studying development, international studies and public health will find it invaluable, as will healthcare professionals, international healthcare organisations, care agencies, and international charities. Policy makers and shapers in communities and government will find the content revelatory as will political activists and those with an interest in equality and globalisation. ''[The book] criticises the basis, the method and the extent to which the politics of wealth continues to undermine and violate the right of the poor to good health. The combination of experience with scientific rigour is presented in accessible everyday language. It is seductive; inviting the curiosity of the reader to last until the very end of the book. MacDonald''s message is clear and unambiguous: war is no longer the father of all things. Instead, justice is the mother of all peace.'' - Mogobe Ramose, in his Foreword. ''Astonishingly accessible, informing and inspiring. Statistically sound, penetratingly. accurate, admirably balanced. Theodore MacDonald writes with passion, as well as with sense. Much of what he has to say is drawn from his own experience working as a medical doctor and a mathematician in a broad range of the world''s poorest nations. But overarching that is a powerful insight into social and economic issues, along with well-honed skills as a communicator. I am pleased to recommend this splendid book.'' - Desmond M. Tutu, in his Foreword.

POR QUÉ EL PERDÓN ES NUESTRO MEJOR REGALO Y NUESTRA ÚNICA ESPERANZA. "Las formas creativas en que los seres humanos podemos lastimarnos unos a otros parecen no tener fin, como tampoco las razones de que creamos justificado hacerlo. Pero la capacidad humana para sanar tampoco tiene fin. Cada uno de nosotros posee una aptitud innata para extraer felicidad del sufrimiento, hallar esperanza en las situaciones más difíciles y curar toda relación necesitada de ello... El perdón es un viaje hacia la curación de nuestras heridas." DESMOND TUTU Y MPHO TUTU "Asombrosas revelaciones sobre cómo reconocer y dar solución a la angustia y el dolor que hemos llevado encima toda la vida... un nuevo paradigma de sanación transformativa." ANNIE LENNOX

Rozhovory a myšlenky dvou velkých mužů o tom, jak být šťastný v dnešním proměnlivém světě „Pokud sám sebe vnímáte jako obyčejného člověka, jednoho ze sedmi miliard, není důvod mít pocit, že byste se měl chovat, jako byste byl někdo výjimečný. Ať už jsem s královnou nebo králem, prezidentem, premiérem či žebrákem, vždy mám na paměti, že jsme všichni stejní.“ Svět kolem nás se rychle proměňuje, jsme svědky tragédií celosvětového významu, katastrof, (nejen) osobních neštěstí, nemocí, smrti – lze vůbec v takovém světě, v takové době prožívat radostný život a nenechat strasti, aby nás pohltily? Ano, lze pracovat na tom, abychom i v tom špatném uměli najít něco, co nás posouvá dál. Lze cvičit náš přístup k sobě samým a k ostatním kolem nás. Kniha radosti zprostředkovává dlouholeté zkušenosti dvou neuvěřitelných mužů, kteří navzdory nepředstavitelně těžkým životním zkouškám zůstávají veselými, nezbednými, soucitnými, odpouštějícími a neztrácejí víru ve všechny lidské bytosti. Douglas Abrams mistrně propojil životní příběhy dvou blízkých přátel – Jeho Svatosti dalajlámy a arcibiskupa Desmonda Tutua, jejich odpovědi na otázky týkající se překážek na cestě k radosti, pokory, humoru, odpuštění, vděčnosti, soucitu, velkorysosti a mnoha dalšího s vědeckými poznatky, které se probíranou tematikou zabývají. Kniha provází čtenáře cestou od zaměření na já, mně, moje k zaměření na my, nám, naše. Ukazuje nám, jak se poučit z utrpení (ať už vlastního nebo utrpení kolem nás), popřípadě jak si uvědomit, že jsme součástí velkého společenství a že v ničem, co prožíváme, nikdy nejsme a nebudeme sami. Nikdo z nás nedokáže uniknout utrpení. To však neznamená, že nemůžeme prožívat radost. Netrapme se kvůli věcem, které nedokážeme změnit. „Pokud s tím lze něco udělat, jaký je důvod ke sklíčenosti? Pokud se nic dělat nedá, k čemu je být sklíčený?“ Nechte se pohltit moudrostí dvou „veselých kop“, které se umějí zasmát samy sobě, udělat si legraci ze svého velkého nosu nebo ze špatné angličtiny a které vám jakoby mimoděk otevřou oči, rozesmějí vás i rozpláčou.

Un libro único en el que dos Premios Nobel de la Paz comparten sus pensamientos, creencias y espiritualidad. «La fuente última de la felicidad reside en nosotros.» Su santidad el Dalai Lama «Nuestra bondad crece cuando se la pone a prueba.» Arzobispo Desmond Tutu El laureado Premio Nobel de la Paz, Su Santidad el Dalai Lama, y el arzobispo Desmond Tutu han sobrevivido a más de cincuenta años de exilio, a varias persecuciones e incluso a situaciones de desgarradora violencia. A pesar de sus sufrimientos -o como ellos dirían, «gracias a ellos»- son dos de las personas más alegres del planeta. En abril del año 2015, el arzobispo Tutu viajó a casa del Dalai Lama en Dharamsala, India, para acompañarlo en la celebración de su ochenta aniversario. Aprovechando la ocasión se dispusieron a crear algo que, esperaban, se convirtiera en un regalo para otros. Mirando atrás en sus largas vidas se propusieron responder a una única y candente pregunta: ¿Cómo podemos encontrar la alegría mientras afrontamos el inevitable sufrimiento de la vida? En el transcurso de aquella semana, ambos intercambiaron historias, bromearon y compartieron sus prácticas espirituales. Tras esos días llenos de risas, y algunas lágrimas, estos dos héroes mundiales miraron en el abismo y la desesperación de nuestros tiempos y encontraron la manera de vivir una vida llena de alegría. Este libro nos ofrece la inusual oportunidad de compartir con estos dos grandes hombres la sorprendente y original semana que pasaron juntos, desde el primer abrazo hasta la despedida final. Los escucharemos mientras exploran la naturaleza de la verdadera alegría y se enfrentan a todas sus barreras -desde el miedo y el estrés y la rabia y el dolor hasta la enfermedad y la muerte - y aprenderemos de sus «Ocho pilares de la alegría», que nos proporcionan recursos para una felicidad duradera. El arzobispo nunca ha proclamado su santidad, y el Dalai Lama se considera a sí mismo un simple monje. En esta colaboración única, nos ofrecen las reflexiones de unas vidas llenas de dolor y desorden en medio de las cuales han sido capaces de descubrir un estado de paz, coraje y alegría que puede inspirarnos en nuestra propia vida. El libro de la alegría no es solo una muestra de la profunda sabiduría de estos dos grandes líderes sino también de su humanidad, humor y pasión por la vida y los seres humanos.

Alla kan vara lyckliga. Alla kan känna glädje. Det gäller bara att veta hur man gör. I april 2015 möttes de två vännerna Dalai Lama och Desmond Tutu för att samtala om hur man känner glädje. Båda är stora spirituella och moraliska ledare, kända för att vara två av vår världs mest smittande glädjespridare, och båda har tilldelats Nobels fredspris. Glädje är som en tårta i tre lager: deras egna berättelser och lärdomar om glädje, de senaste vetenskapliga upptäckterna om djup lycka, och de dagliga övningar som utgör ankaret till deras egna känsloliv. Både Dalai Lama och Desmond Tutu har prövats av stora personliga motgångar, och här delar de med sig av sin egen kamp. För att själv kunna känna riktig glädje måste man också bringa glädje åt andra. Och framför allt visar Lama och Tutu hur den egna glädjen och humorn kan leda till ett lyckligt och harmoniskt liv. "Två andliga mästare delar med sig av sin visdom i denna upplyftande bok. Jag lovar dig, den är värd varenda krona." Oprah Winfrey "Boken genomsyras av värme och glädje." BTJ

«La nostra bontà aumenta quando viene messa alla prova.» Desmond Tutu «La sorgente definitiva della felicità è già dentro ciascuno di noi.» Dalai Lama «La sorgente definitiva della felicità è già dentro ciascuno di noi.» Dalai Lama «La nostra bontà aumenta quando viene messa alla prova.» Desmod Tutu DUE GIGANTI DELLA SPIRITUALITÀ. CINQUE GIORNI. UNA DOMANDA SENZA TEMPO. Il Dalai Lama e l’arcivescovo sudafricano Desmond Tutu, entrambi vincitori del premio Nobel per la Pace, sono sopravvissuti a oltre cinquant’anni di esilio, oppressione e violenza. Ma nonostante queste difficoltà, o forse proprio grazie a esse, sono senza alcun dubbio due delle persone più gioiose del pianeta. Questo libro, nato da un incontro nell’aprile 2015 a Dharamsala, in India, è un’occasione unica per ascoltare dalla loro viva voce esperienze, insegnamenti e profonde riflessioni: confrontandosi infatti sia con le grandi tradizioni filosofiche e religiose di ogni tempo sia con le più recenti scoperte delle neuroscienze e della psicologia, i due prestigiosi interlocutori affrontano tutti gli ostacoli che possono frapporsi tra noi e il raggiungimento della piena felicità. E ci insegnano così che è solo dopo aver conosciuto e imparato a controllare il dolore, come dimostrano le battaglie combattute da entrambi per la libertà dei loro popoli, che diventa possibile trasformare la gioia da fugace emozione di un momento a costante della nostra vita: perché non c’è luce senza ombra, e non c’è gioia per sé se non si crea gioia anche per gli altri. Ricco di dottrina e ispirazione, e nutrito da una straordinaria somma di esperienza, Il libro della gioia è destinato a diventare uno strumento essenziale per orientare le vite di noi tutti in un’epoca sempre più confusa e inquieta.

***Genomineerd voor de Hebban Awards 2017 in de categorie Beste Non-fictie.***De Dalai Lama en Desmond Tutu hebben beiden veel tegenslagen moeten overwinnen. Ondanks hun ontberingen - of zoals ze zelf zeggen dankzij hun ontberingen - behoren ze tot de vrolijkste mensen ter wereld.Ter gelegenheid van de 80e verjaardag van de Dalai Lama reisde Desmond Tutu naar Dharamsala om samen HET BOEK VAN VREUGDE te maken als cadeau voor iedereen. Tijdens deze bijzondere week toonden ze met hun eigen uitbundigheid, compassie en humor hoe vreugde kan groeien van een voorbijgaande emotie tot een blijvende, solide levenshouding.Douglas Abrams was bij de gesprekken aanwezig en verwerkte ze tot dit boek. Een boek waar je blij van wordt, alleen al vanwege de liefdevolle manier waarop deze oude wijze mannen met elkaar omgaan, de levensvreugde en speelsheid die ze delen en de respectvolle manier waarop ze hun verschil van inzicht bespreken, want de boeddhistische en de christelijke traditie hebben naast veel overeenkomsten ook duidelijke verschillen. Het is mooi om te lezen hoe onbelangrijk die verschillen worden, want hun kernboodschap is dezelfde: vreugdevol leven bereik je door anderen vreugde te brengen.

Löydä elämääsi ilo. Kahden rakastetun hengellisen johtajan viisasta puhetta hyvän elämän salaisuudesta. Kaikki meistä tavoittelevat onnea. Mutta mitä me tarkkaan ottaen tarkoitamme puhuessamme onnellisuudesta? Etelä-Afrikan emeritusarkkipiispa Desmond Tutu ja Tiibetin hengellinen johtaja Dalai-lama pohtivat elämänmyönteiseen tapaansa onnen ja ilon syvintä olemusta. Lopputulema on selvä: onnea ei voi omistaa vaan se syntyy ilon, rakkauden ja myötätunnon liitosta. Ensimmäisessä yhteiskirjassaan Dalai-lama ja Tutu antavat lukijoille käytännönläheisiä vinkkejä kestävän ilon ja hyvän elämän taitoon. Dalai-lama eli Tenzin Gyatso (s.1935) on Tiibetin buddhalaisten hengellinen johtohahmo. Hän on asunut maanpaossa Intiassa vuodesta 1959. Dalai-lama palkittiin vuonna 1989 väkivallattoman rauhantyön edistämisestä Nobelin rauhanpalkinnolla. Hän on kirjoittanut lukuisia kirjoja henkisestä kasvusta, hyvästä elämästä sekä tieteellisen ja buddhalaisen maailmankatsomuksen yhteensovittamisesta. Desmond Tutu (s.1931) on Etelä-Afrikan anglikaanisen kirkon arkkipiispa. Hän tuli tunnetuksi 1980-luvulla apartheidin vastustajana ja on sittemmin jatkanut työtään maailmanlaajuisesti ihmisoikeuksien puolestapuhujana. Tutu palkittiin Nobelin rauhanpalkinnolla vuonna 1984.

Desmond Tutu vindt ieder mens uniek en waardevol. Want, alle mensen zijn geschapen naar Gods beeld. Ieder mens staat in Gods handpalm gegrift. Dit is altijd zijn motivatie geweest in zijn strijd voor gerechtigheid en vrede tussen verschillende bevolkingsgroepen. In dit persoonlijke en reflectieve In Gods hand keert Tutu terug naar de rode draad in zijn leven: de oneindige liefde van God voor deze wereld. ‘Beter dan gerechtigheid in de vorm van vergelding, is gerechtigheid die tot verzoening leidt.’ (Desmond Tutu)

Scientific Study from the year 2013 in the subject Sociology - Children and Youth, Catholic University College of Ghana, language: English, abstract: Youth organizations and youth-serving organization has become a strategic tool in employment creation and fighting extreme poverty in sub-Saharan Africa in recent times. The main purpose of this study is to help readers across the globe understand the main issues and challenges that youth organisations and youth-serving organisations face in Kailahun with respect to employment promotion. The study methodology was questionnaire-based interviews. The survey covered a total of 373 youth organisations in the district, which cover a total of 20,058 members. The findings of the survey show that most of the youth organisations are active in the field of agriculture (91%) and in education (22%). In general, every area of activity and every objective of youth organisations is a means for income generation for their members. The most common reason of unemployment, mentioned by the youth organisations, is the lack of job opportunities (63%) and lack of or inadequate education (45%). Still, 41% believe that the high rate of youth unemployment is caused by lack of available skills training centres in the district.

La qualité de la vie humaine sur notre planète n''est, en fin de compte, rien d''autre que la somme des interactions quotidiennes entre nous tous. (..) Le pardon est la voie pour réparer les points de rupture dans nos interactions. C''est la voie pour réparer des déchirures dans le tissu social. C''est la voie pour empêcher Ici communauté humaine d''aller à sa perte. (..) Ce livre est une invitation à cheminer avec nous sur la voie du pardon. Extraits du Livre du Pardon «Une lecture indispensable non seulement pour trouver la voie qui nous permet de nous guérir nous-mêmes et le monde, mais aussi pour rétablir un équilibre dans notre biologie, dans notre esprit et dans nos âmes.» Deepak Chopra, auteur du Fabuleux Pouvoir de votre cerveau «Ce livre fait sortir le pardon des limbes du mystère. C''est un manuel qui nous révèle l''une des capacités humaines les plus exigeantes mais aussi les plus libératrices dans toute sa complexité et dans tout son pouvoir transformant.» Krista Tippett «Une description essentielle des processus qui nous permettent d''aller vers l''acceptation et la résolution d''une vie de colère et de douleur... Un nouveau paradigme d''une guérison transformatrice.» Annie Lennox

In God''s Hands is the 2015 Archbishop of Canterbury''s Lent Book. In this little gem of a book, Archbishop Desmond Tutu distils the wisdom forged through a childhood of poverty and apartheid, an adulthood lived in the glare of the world''s media, and the long and agonising struggle for truth and reconciliation in South Africa, into the childlike simplicity which Jesus tells us characterises the Kingdom of God. Archbishop Tutu has produced a meditation on the infinite love of God and the infinite value of the human individual. Not only are we in God`s hands, he says, our names are engraved on his palms. Throughout an often turbulent life, Archbishop Tutu has fought for justice and against oppression and prejudice. As we learn in this book, what has driven him forward is an unshakeable belief that human beings are created in the image of God and are infinitely valuable. Each one of us is a God-carrier, a tabernacle, a sanctuary of the Divine Trinity. God loves us not because we are lovable but because he first loved us. And this turns our values upside down. In this sense the Gospel is the most radical thing imaginable. It is extremely moving that in this book Archbishop Tutu returns to something so simple and so profound after a life in which he has been involved in political, social and ethical issues that have seemed to be so very complex.

O que devo fazer para perdoar? O Arcebispo Desmond Tutu, detentor do Prêmio Nobel da Paz, testemunhou alguns dos piores crimes que o ser humano possa cometer contra seu próximo. Onde quer que vá, invariavelmente ouve a mesma pergunta. Este livro é a resposta. Escrito em parceria com sua filha Mpho, uma sacerdotisa da Igreja Anglicana, Tutu expõe verdades simples, mas profundas, sobre o significado do perdão, sua dinâmica, por que todos precisam saber como concedê-lo e como recebê-lo, e por que perdoar é o maior presente que podemos dar a nós mesmos quando alguém nos fere. Pai e filha explicam o processo dos quatro passos do perdão - contar a história, dar vazão à mágoa, conceder o perdão e renovar ou abrir mão do relacionamento, além de oferecerem meditações, exercícios e orações para orientar o leitor ao longo do caminho. Com cada ato de perdão, seja ele pequeno ou grande, avançamos em direção à completude, escrevem. O perdão é o modo como trazemos paz a nós mesmos e ao mundo. A qualidade da vida humana no planeta nada mais é do que a soma total de nossas interações diárias. O perdão é o modo como corrigimos essas interações. É o modo como remendamos os rasgões no tecido social. É o modo como impedimos que a nossa comunidade humana se desintegre. Este livro é um convite para que você trilhe conosco o caminho do perdão.

Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize winner, Chair of The Elders, and Chair of South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission, along with his daughter, the Reverend Mpho Tutu, offer a manual on the art of forgiveness—helping us to realize that we are all capable of healing and transformation. Tutu''s role as the Chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission taught him much about forgiveness. If you asked anyone what they thought was going to happen to South Africa after apartheid, almost universally it was predicted that the country would be devastated by a comprehensive bloodbath. Yet, instead of revenge and retribution, this new nation chose to tread the difficult path of confession, forgiveness, and reconciliation. Each of us has a deep need to forgive and to be forgiven. After much reflection on the process of forgiveness, Tutu has seen that there are four important steps to healing: Admitting the wrong and acknowledging the harm; Telling one''s story and witnessing the anguish; Asking for forgiveness and granting forgiveness; and renewing or releasing the relationship. Forgiveness is hard work. Sometimes it even feels like an impossible task. But it is only through walking this fourfold path that Tutu says we can free ourselves of the endless and unyielding cycle of pain and retribution. The Book of Forgiving is both a touchstone and a tool, offering Tutu''s wise advice and showing the way to experience forgiveness. Ultimately, forgiving is the only means we have to heal ourselves and our aching world.

Hoe vergeef je degene die jou iets heeft aangedaan? Hoe heel je wat je een ander hebt aangedaan? Hoe vraag je om vergiffenis en hoe vergeef je uiteindelijk jezelf? Vragen waar geen betere leidsman voor is dan Desmond Tutu, voorzitter van de Zuid-Afrikaanse Waarheids- en Verzoeningscommissie en winnaar van de Nobelprijs voor de Vrede. Tutu schreef dit boek samen met zijn dochter Mpho Tutu. Zij schetsen een viervoudig pad waarin je tot vergeving kunt komen. In deze vier stappen zul je moeten toegeven wat je verkeerd hebt gedaan en zul je het verhaal van je eigen pijn of die van de ander ten volle moeten uitspreken. Bisschop Desmond Tutu was voorzitter van de Waarheids- en Verzoeningscommissie in Zuid-Afrika. In 1984 kreeg hij de Nobelprijs voor de Vrede voor zijn inspanningen in de strijd tegen apartheid. Hij was ook de eerste zwarte aartsbisschop van de Anglicaanse Kerk in Zuid-Afrika. Zijn dochter Mpho Tutu, priester van de Anglicaanse Kerk, is de oprichtster van het Tutu Institute for Prayer and Pilgrimage.

Let There Be Light combines the extraordinary talents of Nancy Tillman, the New York Times bestselling author of On the Night You Were Born, and Nobel Peace Prize Winner Archbishop Desmond Tutu in this retelling of the biblical story of creation.

This handsome volume, with more than 400 photographs - including never-before-published material from private collections - is the only authorised biography of arguably the greatest man of our times. Superbly designed, and interspersed with stunning double-spread photographs, it includes extensive interviews with family members, close friends, colleagues and many of the world''s leading figures in all walks of life. Written by a team of distinguished writers and interviewers from a shortlist of award-winning journalists, this is fitting tribute to a man whose courage and moral authority have stood as a beacon to a bitterly divided nation - and to the whole world.

Fredsprisvinner Desmond Tutu har vært vitne til noen av de grusomste handlinger et menneske kan utsettes for. Han blir ofte spurt om hvordan han makter å tilgi. Til dette svarer han: «Det finnes ingenting som ikke kan tilgis, og det finnes ingen som ikke fortjener tilgivelse». I denne boken utforsker han, sammen med sin datter Mpho A. Tutu, enkle men dype sannheter om tilgivelse. Desmond Tutu er erkebiskop emeritus i Den anglikanske kirke i Sør-Afrika. Datteren er prest i samme kirke.
