The Magnanimous Heart
Compassion and Love, Loss and Grief, Joy and Liberation
Book • 2019
The Magnanimous Heart is a deeply thoughtful book that explores the themes of compassion, love, loss, grief, joy, and liberation.
Narayan Helen Liebenson writes in a classic prosaic style, addressing these concepts with seriousness and care.
The book is particularly suited for those with some experience in mindfulness and Buddhism, offering practical advice on how to skillfully respond to painful emotions and find liberation through meditative inquiry.
It emphasizes the importance of true compassion, kindness, and space to process grief, rather than trying to overcome it quickly.
The book shifts from the pain of loss to practices leading to liberation, including an exploration of nirvana as a state of 'enough'.
