An inspiring and healing guide to immersive meditation in the ancient Buddhist heart practices-the brahmavih?rasWith Buddha's Heart, senior meditation teacher Stephen Snyder reveals an original and clear path to the powerful brahmavih?ras. These practices offer rich, soothing support for the soul and a portal to spiritual awakening and deepening self-realization.Informed by Snyder's experiential understanding, and suitable for those at any level of meditation practice, Buddha's Heart leads us step-by-step through:? traditional teachings on wholesomeness and concentration meditations to establish a supportive bedrock for our personal discovery;? guided, heart-opening meditations on loving-kindness, compassion, empathetic joy, and equanimity;? further guided practices for deepening awareness, including gratitude, forgiveness, and opening to the Oneness of Reality;? exploratory exercises for each meditation practice, illuminating the psychological blocks to accessing our deeper nature's heart qualities; and? embracing mindfulness and warm attunement in everyday life-opening our hearts to the profound depths of reality and the Absolute.Buddha's Heart teaches what seems counterintuitive but is undeniably true: the more we open our hearts, the more resilient and flexible we are. And the more authentically vulnerable we are, the safer and more protected we become.

A unique and fulfilling map to realization and Awakening offered by one of today's finest spiritual teachers.With Trust in Awakening, Zen and Theravada Buddhist teacher Stephen Doetsu Snyder presents a fresh and powerful reworking of the 7th century Zen poem, the Xin Xin Ming. This poem has guided and inspired serious Zen practitioners on the path to Awakening for centuries. Structuring its stanzas in koan-like meditations, Snyder interprets the poem's directions to seeing the Absolute, the source, fully manifesting in each of us-to Awakening.In addition, Snyder gives an insightful line-by-line commentary and questions us after each stanza, provoking an internal examination. He points us in the direction of the Absolute, in its many expressions, the source of all universes and realization. This distinct approach creates the space for us to dwell on each line, open ourselves to its significance, and take another step on the path of no path.Trust in Awakening transmits the reality of the Absolute while encouraging us to keep following its map, unfolding the path to Awakening.
