In A Heart as Wide as the World,
one of America's most popular Buddhist teachers offers a
book of encouragement and inspiration for anyone on the
spiritual path. In short sections that include many stories
and anecdotes culled from her twenty-five years as a student
and teacher of Buddhist meditation, Sharon Salzberg reveals
how our own happiness is found in the capacity to open our
hearts to others. And that this capacity is far more vast
than we ever thought possible. Through meditation and the
practice of lovingkindness, we can discover our intimate
connection to those around us and to the world as a whole.
This realization acts like a hidden storehouse of strength,
allowing us to face whatever the world offers us with wisdom
and compassion. In these pages, Sharon Salzberg shows us
that our heart can be truly as wide as the world.
Sharon Salzberg is a cofounder of the
Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Massachusetts, and
author of Lovingkindness: The Revolutionary Art of Happiness.
