The Seed of Compassion: Lessons from the Life and Teachings of His Holiness the Dalai Lama

Books For Kids Holiday Sale 2025 Product Catalog Yak & Play (in collaboration with Tibet House)

Illustrated Edition HC

by His Holiness The Dalai Lama (Author), Bao Luu (Illustrator)

For the first time ever, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate His Holiness the Dalai Lama addresses children directly, sharing lessons of peace and compassion, told through stories of his own childhood.

One of today's most inspiring world leaders was once an ordinary child named Lhamo Thondup. In a small village in Tibet, his mother was his first great teacher of compassion. In everyday moments from his childhood, young readers begin to see that important lessons are all around us, and that they, too, can grow to truly understand them.

With simple, powerful text, the Dalai Lama shares the universalist teachings of treating one another with compassion, which Bao Luu illustrates beautifully in vibrant color. In an increasingly confusing world, The Seed of Compassion offers guidance and encouragement on how we all might bring more kindness to it.
