The Heart of the Revolution: The Buddha's Radical Teachings on Forgiveness, Compassion, and Kindness
&#8220;You can feel it in the very sentences - Levine&#8217;s earnest drive to share what he&#8217;s learned, to bring us along into the open heart of revolution. This is a terrific new take on the old teachings - and I believe him. I want to join.&#8221; (Natalie Goldberg, author of Writing Down the Bones)&#8220;A passionate and timely appeal to overcome self-centredness through love and compassion, combined with eminently practical meditations to help you do so.&#8221; (Stephen Batchelor, author of Confession of a Buddhist Atheist)&#8220;The Heart of the Revolution is refreshing, relevant and to the point. A great manual for developing love and compassion in these difficult times.&#8221; (Martine Batchelor, Author of Let Go and The Spirit of the Buddha)&#8220;It offers a fresh look at mercy, a term not frequently used in Buddhism; includes an extensive commentary on the Metta Sutta; gives the lowdown on personal and romantic love; and explores cosmology and the three personality types according to traditional Buddhist thought.&#8221; (Shambhala Sun)
