Live With More Love: New Special Publication is Now Available

 

Be a Force for Kindness, Mindfulness, and Positive Change Compassion. Friendliness. Kindness. Love. These four virtues are the keys to a good life. It doesn’t matter who we are or where we’re from, or what religion we do (or don’t) practice. An open heart is universally understood to be a good, and powerful thing. (And couldn’t our world use more of that goodness and power right now?) Buddhism offers us many methods for empowering ourselves to cultivate our open-heartedness. The Buddhist approach to living with more kindness and love is very proactive, and very simple: If our “kindness muscles” are underused or undeveloped, the solution is use them more. So there are Buddhist teachings and meditation that can help us do that—regardless of what we believe in or where we are in our lives. By practicing them, we can do something about our all-too-common feelings of isolation and disconnection from one another, and from ourselves. We begin to see how closed hearts and closed minds go together, and that we can instead enjoy a life that’s decidedly more open. As with physical exercise, it can feel good. And the more we do, the easier it gets. But first we have to get started. That’s what Live With More Love is all about. At Lion’s Roar, we’re privileged to work with today’s wisest Buddhist teachers, and here you’ll find their easy-to-follow meditation instructions for cultivating compassion, joy, equanimity, and of course metta—also known as loving-kindness, goodwill, or just friendliness. It’s all good reading, but it’s your intention, your practice, and your heart that will make the teachings real. We hope you'll enjoy Live with More Love, and we thank you for your intention, your practice, and your heart. —Rod Meade Sperry, Editorial Director, Lion’s Roar Special Editions “Ultimately, loving-kindness is an equalizer and an antidote to hatred and aversion.” – JoAnna Hardy Live With (Even) More Love Lion’s Roar is delighted to announce our newest Special Edition – a refreshed and updated version of our readers’ favorite How-To Guide, Live With More Love – with a new chapter on wisdom for working with coronavirus fears, and new articles to help you re-awaken to the power of kindness and compassion.  Inside, you’ll find teachings and practices that will help you to open your heart and lead your life from a place of joy and loving-kindness.   Features include:   A Practice for Developing Loving-Kindness Toward Yourself Valerie Mason-John Turn Your Thinking Upside Down Pema Chödrön The Power of Compassionate Communication Thich Nhat Hanh When Love Is the Ground of Our Being bell hooks Love Everyone: A Guide for Spiritual Activists Sharon Salzberg & Rev. angel Kyodo williams   And lots more...
