One of today's most inspiring world leaders was once an ordinary kid named Lhamo Thondup. In a small village in Tibet, his mother was his first great teacher of compassion. In the everyday moments of 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 and powerful text, the Dalai Lama shares universalistic teachings of treating one another with compassion, which Bao Luu beautifully illustrates in vivid colors. In an increasingly confused world, The Seed of Compassion offers advice and encouragement on how we could all bring more kindness to it.
