True Love: A Practice for Awakening the Heart
Product Description
by Thich Nhat Hanh
With the elegant simplicity that characterizes his style, Buddhist teacher Thich Nhat Hanh here explores the four key aspects of love: lovingkindness, compassion, joy, and freedom. Not merely descriptive, True Love explains how mantra practice and the technique of conscious breath can actually enhance our capacity for love.
In order to love in a real way, Thich Nhat Hanh explains, we need to learn how to be fully present in our lives. He offers readers the technique of conscious breathing as a method for synchronizing the mind and body to establish the conditions of love. He goes on to offer a mantra practice for generating love that consists of expressing four key statements or intentions in our relationships.
In the book's concluding section, he tells how love can help us heal our pain, fear, and habitual negativity. A gorgeous keepsake; a gift of love.
