The Healing Power of Loving-Kindness

All Buddhist traditions teach that the practice of loving-kindness can transform our lives.

Dividing the practice into twelve simple steps, this book provides everything readers need to uncover their innate joy and compassion. The accompanying downloadable audio program guides meditators through the steps of visualizing Avalokiteshvara, generating devotion to the ideals he embodies, and radiating loving-kindness to all beings in the universe. This book and audio program will help readers understand and experience the benefits of loving-kindness meditation. By transforming our negative mental patterns and increasing our capacity for kindness, we heal our emotional pain and become beacons of peace and joy for everyone in our daily lives.
