About This Item
Transworld Pub Bantam, 2001. Paperback. Used: Acceptable. Paperback in good condition, crease to front cover. Surya Das' breezy delivery in Awakening the Buddhist Heart allows his teachings to come off like colourful conversation. In the third instalment of his bestselling Awakening series, America's most popular lama shows us how to integrate inner and outer practices. Our inner spirituality, he says, can never be separate from our relationships with others. With his trademark clarity, he integrates his teachings with light-hearted anecdotes and down-to-earth practices. Basic meditation, for instance, can help us create a gap between our knee-jerk judgments and our reactions, allowing for calm, wise relations. Likewise, one can try authentic listening ("opening the third ear") or exploiting the power of speech to build deeper connections. And beyond human relations lies our connection to the natural world, for which Surya Das also includes a few lovely meditations. Taking that extra step in our practice from the self to the world requires more than just individual persistence, it takes compassion and teaches more than you'd expect.
