Description

Noah Levine has become the voice of the next generation of American Buddhism. In his unconventional way, in The Heart of the Revolution, he invites us on a journey to discover the loving heart. Despite being an acclaimed Buddhist teacher, Noah doubted whether he could ever release the anger deep within. After many years Noah finally realized the truth of this essential Buddhist belief - compassion is a natural quality of the heart that is often lying dormant, waiting to be uncovered. Noah now reveals the tools that helped him embrace his true Buddha nature. The practices he describes in this book are not a quick fix but a map to a hidden treasure. Free yourself from the unnecessary suffering of life and join the rebellion fueled not by hatred but by forgiveness, compassion, and kindness.
