This new, redesigned edition of Awakening Loving-Kindness shares inspiration and encouragement for cultivating kindness--by embracing the joy, suffering, confusion, and brilliance of our everyday lives.

Inspiration and encouragement for cultivating kindness-by embracing the joy, suffering, confusion, and brilliance of our everyday lives-from the author of When Things Fall Apart

Do you want to be a more compassionate person, confident and unafraid to love yourself and the world around you unconditionally, but aren't sure how? We often look far and wide for guidance to become better people, as though the answers weresomewhere out there. But Pema Ch dr n suggests that the best and most direct teacher for awakening loving-kindness is in factyour very own life.

Based on talks given during a one-month meditation retreat at Gampo Abbey, where Pema lives and teaches, her teachings here focus on learning how to see the events of our lives as the perfect material for learning to love ourselves and our world playfully and wholeheartedly-and to live in our skin fearlessly, without aggression, harshness, or shame. This is instruction for embarking on the greatest adventure of all, to come alive to your inherent human kindness.

""Perhaps what makes Pema's message resonate so strongly with people, no matter what their religion or spiritual path, is its universality."" -O, The Oprah Magazine

Reviews for Awakening Loving-Kindness

These teachings are simple, earthy, and alive. Pema's deep experience and her fresh way of looking at things are like mountain water-clear and refreshing, as good Dharma should be. -Jack Kornfield, coauthor of Seeking the Heart of Wisdom
