Inspiration from a Tibetan Teacher

Loving care is essential for us and our world. Only when we truly care from the heart do we understand what caring really is. However, our way of life — or rather, the way we handle our minds — does not really support us in this. Only when we take care of ourselves can we care for others. Tarthang Tulku, a Tibetan Lama of the Nyingma tradition, extensively explores in Caring how important it is to learn loving care. Based on his Buddhist background and over fifty years of work with students from around the world, he shows us how through caring we can discover the deepest secrets of human nature — and its highest potentials. Through reflections, explorations, and exercises, ranging from simple and heartfelt to challenging and profound, Tarthang Tulku demonstrates in Caring how care can lighten our hearts and strengthen our minds. This opens up unprecedented new possibilities of being.
