“Sharon Salzberg’s book illuminates the heart of lovingkindness like a lamp in the darkness, like the clearing of fog, like a sunrise on a beautiful morning—it brings light so that all those with eyes may see.”
—JACK KORNFIELD, author of After the Ecstasy, the Laundry
“Lovingkindness is a profound exploration of the deepest meanings of love, empathy, and caring. It offers psychological insights of real spiritual value and practical utility.”
—DANIEL GOLEMAN, author of Emotional Intelligence
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, the author shows how the Buddhist path can help us discover the radiant, joyful heart within each one of us.
The Buddha described the nature of such a spiritual path as “the liberation of the heart, which is love.” Drawing on simple Buddhist teachings, wisdom stories from various traditions, guided meditation practices, and her own experiences, the author shows how each one of us can cultivate love, compassion, joy, and equanimity—the four “heavenly abodes” of traditional Buddhism.
SHARON SALZBERG has been practicing Buddhist meditation for twenty-five years. She is a cofounder of the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Massachusetts, and teaches meditation around the country.
