The book is based on a series of teachings His Holiness gave to a group of 16 American college students over the course of three weeks in 2011. Each chapter in the book explores a topic selected by visiting students. For each session, two of the students took lead responsibility in presenting their concerns to the Karmapa, and His Holiness’ personal responses to their concerns fills the pages of this book.
本書集結了2011年法王與16名美國大學生為期3週的系列課程開示。書中每個章節探討一個學生們提出的主題；每堂課由兩名學生代表向法王發問，書頁間詳實地記錄了法王從個人的經驗，針對學生關切的問題所作的回答。

In this book, the Gyalwang Karmapa takes a hard look at the urgent challenges facing his generation as a society, as a planet and as individuals. In the process, he encourages us all to rise to these challenges, using a resource we already have in abundance—the basic nobility of our human heart. The book is nothing short of a call to action, outlining his vision for bringing transformative social action into daily life.
法王從個人、社會、乃至整個星球的角度，嚴正審視他所處的這個世代的迫切挑戰。過程中，法王鼓勵我們所有的人，運用自身已有的豐沛資源——此人類心中的基本尊性，挺身迎向這些挑戰。書中不乏付諸實踐的呼籲，勾勒出法王將轉變社會的行動落實於日常生活之中的願景。
