An inspired guide to sustaining compassion. The Buddha taught the practices of loving kindness, compassion, empathetic joy, and equanimity. These guide us in cultivating positive emotions and minimising harmful ones. Poet, writer, activist, coach, and Buddhist teacher River Wolton gives new life to these teachings as resources for a life in which compassion for self and others are mutually sustaining. Beautifully illustrated and with exercises, meditations, and reflections.
