“Kindness is a force
that breaks open your heart even as it heals—
and in that healing sets you free.”
—Sharon Salzberg
What if being kind and generous of heart was actually a potent skill that we could develop?
Now, with The Force of Kindness, Sharon Salzberg invites you to experience a book-and-CD learning program for discovering the true power of metta, or lovingkindness, within you and using it to guide your daily life.
Through timeless teaching stories, valuable insights from Sharon’s years of expert meditation instruction, and guided exercises, you will learn a practical path to cultivate a foundation of inward peace, open your heart with empathy, and radiate the force of kindness to those you touch in your life.
Four guided kindness meditations on CD include:
• Loving-kindness toward ourselves—a foundation for happiness
• Loving-kindness toward others—the bridge between ourselves and others
• Loving-kindness for all beings—bringing compassion into the world
• Meditating with the force of kindness—how to use mindfulness and loving-kindness practices together to uplift the benefits of both.
SHARON SALZBERG is the author of several books and has been leading meditation retreats worldwide since 1974.
Influenced by her 35 years of study with Buddhist masters from a variety of traditions, she teaches intensive awareness practice (“insight” meditation) and the profound cultivation of lovingkindness and compassion.
She is the cofounder of the Insight Meditation Society and the Barre Center for Buddhist Studies, both in Massachusetts.
