Force Of Kindness

Distill the world's great spiritual teachings down to their most basic principles and one thread emerges to unite them all: kindness. In The Force of Kindness, Sharon Salzberg, one of the world's most respected Buddhist authors and meditation teachers, offers practical instruction on how to cultivate this essential trait within ourselves. Now available in paperback, this book-and-CD takes us on an exploration of what kindness truly means and the simple steps to realize its effects immediately. ''When we fan even the smallest ember of kindness,'' teaches Salzberg, ''we begin to overcome our own fears, doubts, and personal attachments-and tap an endless source of gentle strength available to us all.''
