Loving-Kindness Meditation: Meditations to Help You Love Yourself, Love Others, and Create More Love and Peace in the World

by Bill Scheffel

Loving-kindness is a type of meditation practiced by Buddhists throughout the world, but it is a word that appears in many religious texts, including the Bible, Jewish liturgy, and throughout the Book of Common Prayer. No matter what a person?s religion, we all instinctively understand the meaning of an attitude of generosity and compassion toward yourself, toward others, and toward the earth. This book pairs evocative, peaceful, black-and-white images with poetry and meditation instructions. Loving-kindness is, in itself, a meditation that will sooth and encourage the reader to adopt an attitude of compassion and joy.
