      Based on the Buddhist practice of staying connected to life's realities, this six-step meditation process develops our capacity to love what is real in the world--and especially what is real in other people. Peaceful acceptance of life eliminates the mental struggle of loving the world as it is without desiring to change it. This is an aspect of Buddhist teaching that Salzberg knows well and teaches with relaxed familiarity. Her voice and deep compassion for those who might benefit from this message make her words sound nurturing. She is comfortable and self-assured with these ideas. An inspiring and surprisingly practical resource for people with too much struggle in their lives. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine

      Buddhists believe that we've lost touch with the loving and compassionate heart with which we were born. Salzberg leads the listener through the meditation practice of "metta," translated as "loving-kindness," a six-step meditation designed to help us reconnect with our original heart. Co-founder of the Insight Meditation Society, Salzberg delivers her presentation with conviction and understanding. Her voice is relaxing and convincing. Although the publisher calls this "a perfect introduction to this enriching practice," it's much more than that. Salzberg's presentation can be mined for wisdom time and time again. P.B.J.
