The Art of Happiness
by the Dalai Lama and Howard Cutler (1998)
notes by Doug Muder (1999)
-
These notes consist of brief notes about the authors, a short discussion
about the difficulties of understanding the philosophy of another culture,
a detailed outline of Art, and three short essays discussing issues
raised by Art. Quotes from Cutler are in roman type; quotes from
the Dalai Lama are underlined; my commentary and study questions are in
italics, except for the theme essays. Page numbers are from the 1998 hardcover
edition published by Riverhead. The linear version
of these notes (as handed out in class) is also available.
