| 抄録 | This is a collection of stories about the profound, tender and often incredible acts of compassion practiced by Buddhists in all cultures throughout the world. "Beautiful!...illustrates how to heal the heart with peace and joy and open the mind with true understanding.
Book Review by Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat:
In her foreword to this sterling collection of 40 stories, Joan Halifax Roshi writes："Whether exalted lamas or ordinary students, the practitioners in this book have taken daring leaps into the unknown of their own being — into what might be called 'visionary compassion.' That is to say, compassion that goes the extra mile beyond one's comfort level, compassion that embraces self and other as one continuum."
Pamela Bloom is a meditator of 20 years with a special interest in spiritual healing. She learned about compassion while serving as a hospital chaplain, an interfaith minister, and a music critic, and by encountering the living Buddha in others. Selfless acts of love are a form of active prayer and that is why this volume can be seen as a devotional resource.
Here you can read about the ways in which a husband and a wife, a Tibetan Buddhist prisoner, a meditation master, a Buddhist nun, and many others show how it is possible to love without bias, to transform anger, to liberate beings, to take on the suffering of others, and to heal body and soul with compassion.
The book also contains meditations for developing compassion via metta practice and tonglen. An extra treat is a potpourri of soul-stretching quotations throughout the text like the following one by Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche："Could we exclude any from our compassion any more than the sun could exclude any from the warmth and radiance of its rays?" |
