Drawing from the author's life as a father, professor, Buddhist, and Buddhist teacher - as well as on pop culture references from Bob Dylan to?Harry Potter - Awakening Through Love is a welcoming guide to achieving the deepest well-being and joy. Rooted in Buddhism's Dzogchen tradition, the book teaches strategies for realizing a life imbued with love through Buddhist methods for fostering genuine caring and appreciation for others. To help readers achieve this state, the author presents practices and meditations for gradual cultivation and direct insight. He also provides a moving presentation of the role of a teacher, or "benefactor," in deepening one's spiritual path. Part of the book's effectiveness is that it uncovers universal elements in Buddhist ideas and practices and renders them usable for a general audience, with many references to the adaptability of these methods for use in conjunction with the traditions of other religions.
