    About this audiobook

    A little guide to cultivating tsewa: the loving warmth of heart from which the awakened mind arises—from the popular Buddhist teacher and author of The Intelligent Heart.

    This is a call to a revolution of heart. In Tibetan Buddhism, it is taught that one of the most essential qualities of enlightenment is tsewa, a form of warm energy and openness of heart. It is the warmth we express and receive through empathy with others, especially those closest to us. In this compact gem of a book, Dzigar Kongtrul opens the door to this life-changing energy and shows us how to transform our attitude toward ourselves and those around us through its practice. And through its practice, we can actually heal our fractured world.

    This is a guide to the building blocks of compassion and the purest and deepest form of happiness. And with these tools, we can awaken the most powerful force in the world—a tender, open heart.

    Foreword written by Pema Chödrön

      Beautiful, simple, imperative and profound advice from one of the most accomplished teachers of Buddhism. Ven. Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche understands the westerners' way of thinking, the good, the bad and the ugly and proposes us a way of living with a noble goal, with happiness and wisdom.
      Thank you Rinpoche for your wise words.
    • 5/5
      A well produced and engagingly narrated audio book, Dzigar Kontrul Rinpoche's warm heartfelt insistence is conveyed persuasively, without affectation. If you are familiar with Mahayana Buddhism, and the Tibetan tradition in particular, you won't t find anything new here, but listening to this straight forward and grounded praise of and exhortation to warm-heartedness on my daily commute was enough to reconnect me with that inner glow so easy glossed over in the rush of everyday life. I found that just to be reminded that this state is always right here immensely beneficial. Thank you.
