Lovingkindness by Sharon Salzberg
Throughout our lives we long to love ourselves more deeply and find a greater sense of connection with others. Our fear of intimacy--both with others and with ourselves--creates feelings of pain and longing. But these feelings can also awaken in us the desire for freedom and the willingness to take up the spiritual path. In this inspiring book, Sharon Salzberg, one of America's leading spiritual teachers, shows us how the Buddhist path of lovingkindness can help us discover the radiant, joyful heart within each of us. This practice of lovingkindness is revolutionary because it has the power to radically change our lives, helping us cultivate true happiness in ourselves and genuine compassion for others. The Buddha described the nature of such a spiritual path as the liberation of the heart, which is love. The author draws on simple Buddhist teachings, wisdom stories from various traditions, guided meditation practices, and her own experience from twenty-five years of practice and teaching to illustrate how each one of us can cultivate love, compassion, joy, and equanimity--the four heavenly abodes of traditional Buddhism.Jon Kabat-Zinn is the founder and director of the University of Massachusetts Medical School's Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care, and Society, as well as the Stress Reduction Clinic. Coming to Our Senses, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, and Mindfulness for Beginners are his books. He resides in the city of Lexington, Massachusetts.
