In "The Good Heart," His Holiness the Dalai Lama embarks on an illuminating exploration of the core teachings of Jesus Christ through a Buddhist lens, offering readers a unique and enriching perspective on the Gospels. With profound respect and a deep sense of spirituality, the Dalai Lama delves into the essence of both Buddhism and Christianity, finding common ground in the pursuit of compassion, wisdom, and the quest for enlightenment. Through his commentary on seminal passages from the four Christian Gospels, including the Sermon on the Mount and the parable of the mustard seed, he reveals the universal themes of love, kindness, and human connection that underlie both faiths, encouraging a dialogue of understanding and mutual respect. This landmark book not only highlights the parallels between the teachings of Jesus and Buddha but also celebrates the rich traditions from which they emerge. The Dalai Lama's insights are a testament to the sacred in all religions, offering an affirmative vision of the endless merits found within each tradition. "The Good Heart" stands as a bridge between cultures and beliefs, uplifting readers with its message of common humanity and the transformative power of pure intent and good will. It is a compelling read for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of faith, spirituality, and the interconnectedness of the world's religions.

I believe the purpose of all the major religious traditions is not to construct big temples on the outside, but to create temples of goodness and compassion inside, in our hearts.
— Dalai Lama, The Good Heart
