A Little Book of Love

Teachings from the Buddhist tradition on opening the heart and deepening relationships, written with unusual clarity, simplicity, and warmth--for readers of any background.
This short, practical, and inspiring book presents Buddhist wisdom on love, relationships, and finding true contentment in life. Buddhist teacher Moh Hardin has a wonderfully direct and warm-hearted teaching style that will resonate with readers of books by Pema Chodron and Thich Nhat Hanh.
The book begins with a discussion about making friends with ourselves as the basis for loving others, including a simple Buddhist practice for developing greater self-acceptance and self-compassion. The book goes on to offer insights and practices for deepening our intimate relationships and becoming more loving parents.
Next, Hardin discusses love on a bigger scale, introducing the idea of becoming a "bodhisattva warrior," or a person who seeks to live open-heartedly and ease suffering in the world.
