Teachings on Love

Teachings on Love

by Thich Nhat Hahn

Parallax Press, Berkeley, California, USA  © 2007, 169 pp.

In his typically beautiful and simple style, Thich Nhat Hahn offers teachings and meditations on metta or love, collected in this volume.

"If we learn ways to practice love, compassion, joy, and equanimity, we will know how to heal the illness of anger, sorrow, insecurity, sadness, hatred, loneliness, and unhealthy attachments."

Sounds huge, but each practice is broken down into easy parts that can be practiced on and off the meditation pillow.

Familiar metta practices, more advanced practices, life examples and teachings stories are all included.
