Awake Mind, Open Heart: The Power of Courage and Dignity in Everyday Life—By Cynthia Kneen
|
Chögyam Trungpa—Buddhist meditation master, scholar, author, and artist—introduced the Shambhala social vision in the 1970’s. These teachings emphasize how we can work with fear, develop greater vision, and cultivate confident life force in ourselves and between all human beings. This message has timeless relevance. Every day each of us is challenged to develop strength and a powerful courage, hope and social harmony.By drawing deeply on stories from her own personal journey with Buddhist Shambhala practices, Cynthia Kneen makes this vision accessible to the widest possible audience. Awake Mind, Open Heart shows that, however chaotic and perilous our present world may be, we can claim our full power as human beings. Kneen illuminates how Buddhism and Shambhala, two great humanistic traditions, show us how to lead a profoundly meaningful life—a life of skillful influence—and help create a powerfully decent society. 220 pp., Paperback.
