Awake Heart: Boundless Compassion Unleashed

This guidebook, written by Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo, explores the path to making life meaningful by cultivating compassion, embracing adversity, and training the mind. It is based on the teachings of Tibetan Buddhism and specifically focuses on the Thirty-Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva, a classic fourteenth-century text. The book offers practical advice on how to incorporate these teachings into everyday life and develop authentic compassion. Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo’s insights come from her experience of meditating in the Himalayas for over a decade and being one of the first Buddhist nuns ordained in the West. The book is written in English and consists of 224 pages.
