Description:
How can we cultivate deeper, more meaningful relationships while becoming more compassionate toward ourselves and others?
In Awakening the Buddhist Heart, bestselling author and Tibetan Buddhist teacher Lama Surya Das presents ancient Buddhist wisdom in an accessible form for contemporary life. He explores the connections between spiritual growth, emotional awareness, forgiveness, compassion and our relationships with partners, friends, family members and the wider world.
Drawing on traditional Buddhist teachings and practical experience, Lama Surya Das offers exercises and meditations intended to help readers release negative emotions, strengthen their capacity for love and develop greater spiritual intelligence. His approach speaks both to practicing Buddhists and to spiritually curious readers seeking a more thoughtful and compassionate way of living.
This is the first printing of the first British Bantam Press edition, published in 2001.

Why we love this book:
This is a warm and practical exploration of Buddhism as a lived philosophy rather than a purely abstract teaching. Lama Surya Das connects compassion and mindfulness with the ordinary challenges of relationships, making the book especially approachable for Western readers. The striking Buddha cover and first-printing status make this an appealing addition to a thoughtfully curated spiritual library.
