Awakening The Buddhist Heart - Lama Surya Das (Cass)
Title: Awakening the Buddhist Heart: Title: Awakening the Buddhist Heart: Integrating Love, Meaning and Connection into Every Part of Your Life Author: Surya Das Genre: Religious and Inspirational Format: Audio Cassette, 4 Cass., 6 Hrs. Synopsis: Four cassettes, 6 hrs. performance by the author In Awakening the Buddha Within, Surya Das explained the foundations of Buddhism and illuminated the Dharma path for Western readers. In his follow-up book, Awakening to the Sacred, he showed how to create a daily spiritual practice. While his first two books focused on developing an inner spiritual life, in AWAKENING THE BUDDHIST HEART shows listeners how to find a sacred dimension in our relationships with ourselves and others by actively taking our spiritual life out into the world.

By providing specific exercises, meditations, and prayers to share spiritual energy with mates, children, friends, as well as strangers, and illustrated with contemporary Western situations that reflect Buddhist teachings, AWAKENING THE BUDDHIST HEART shows how by developing our spiritual intelligence we can find and nurture the sacred in all our relationships. Review: The "Buddhist heart" that Surya Das refers to in his third book turns out to be a good heart. Blending intimate anecdotes with wisdom gleaned from his decades of study with traditional Tibetan Buddhist teachers, the American-born author seeks to help readers to awaken this heart so that their everyday relationships may become a way to experience the meaningful interconnectedness and sacrednessness of life. Surya Das wishes to cut to the essence of Buddhist wisdom, while bolstering a general readership with a dawn-of-a-new-era pep talk: "As we enter a new century and a new millennium... it seems increasingly important to awaken our Buddha-like h
