Book Reviews of Pay Attention, for Goodness' Sake: Practicing the Perfections of the Heart--The Buddhist Path of Kindness
Book Review: amplifies the understandings of the human heart
Summary: 4 Stars
In my opinion, we can never practice and sustain the loving energy of the heart enough. It needs to be an ongoing focus and commitment in order for us to reap its vast rewards. In the Buddhist practice of Mindfulness, this heart-focus is elegantly laid out as the Ten Paramitas or Perfections of the Heart - particular qualities that are "natural, built-in inclinations of the human heart". In her book, Sylvia Boorstein gives each one of these Paramitas its own chapter, and explores its meaning with humour and wise stories. As a psychologist and meditation teacher, she amplifies the understandings and practical application of these Perfections for everyone to appreciate. The list comprises Generosity, Morality, Renunciation, Wisdom, Energy, Patience, Truthfulness, Determination, Lovingkindness and Equanimity.
