Guide to Cultivating Warmth of Heart

Rather like a haiku in terms of its small size and focus on directly observable everyday experiences, Training in Tenderness is a guide for more fully opening our hearts. Why to do so? Dzigar Kongtrul, with easy to follow and reasoned logic, shows how this results in a more happy and fulfilling life.

“When our heart is open, we feel joy When it’s closed, we feel pain.”

In an increasingly polarized world, Training in Tenderness provides us with steps to de-polarize. Then as we are more fully nurtured by warmth and compassion we can actually help heal our fractured world. I joyfully recommend this book to all people. It leads us through the steps of transforming our attitude toward ourselves and those around us. While based in Buddhist tradition it is, nevertheless, universal in application.
