A mind expansive journey that is truly Amazing!

Reading this book forces the reader to embark upon a journey of opening the mind, and the heart (if there is a real difference). A Journey that questions the conditioned states many of us have become used to as our reality. With a mastery of deep understanding and humility, Sharon Salzberg gives people one of the most important gifts in the world. It is something most of us just seek unconsciously. It is something that we don't usually remain aware of in our every day life, but we all would be willing to do anything to "get" it. It is happiness.

clear and clean as the first brisk air of autumn

While self-help books abound, promising deliverance from all that ails us, Sharon Salzberg's "Loving Kindness, refreshes. Her writings burn themselves clean...in that, one is not tangled up with an author presenting her version of a spiritual path, rather she is the path itself, unfolding for who ever wants to journey. From the opening lines in chapter one: "We can travel a long way and do many different things, but our deepest happiness is not born from accumulating new experiences. It is born from letting go of what is unnecessary and knowing ourselves to be always at home." to the last chapter, entitled, "Living Our Love", Ms. Salzberg writes with dignity and care about that which she deeply knows.

A clear explanation of fundamental Buddhist Principles

Sharon Salzberg has produced a clear and very concise guide to the actual practice of the four Brahma Viharas (sublime abodes), which are the cornerstones of lay Buddhism. We westerners typically cannot devote our lives to meditation and study, but we can learn to spend some time each day on awareness, and on the simple spiritual practice of lovingkindness, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity. This book gives real, day-to-day, usable suggestions for how to make this work in your life. Self help books fill the shelves, but this is one of the best I've ever come across.
