Lovingkindness
The Revolutionary Art of Happiness
Book • 2020
In this inspiring book, Sharon Salzberg shows how the Buddhist path of lovingkindness can help us discover the radiant, joyful heart within each of us.
Drawing on Buddhist teachings, wisdom stories from various traditions, her personal experiences, and guided meditation exercises, Salzberg teaches how to cultivate the four 'heavenly abodes' of traditional Buddhism: love, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity.
The book emphasizes the importance of self-love and acceptance as a foundation for extending these caring feelings to all beings, and it provides practical instructions for meditation and real-life practices to achieve true happiness and genuine compassion for others.
