«A Heart as Wide as the World» is a work of Buddhist spirituality by Sharon Salzberg, published by Shambhala in paperback (208 pages, in English).
Drawing on everyday scenes (a street vendor, a fire drill in a hotel, her teacher's reaction to an aggressive dog), Sharon Salzberg shows that Buddhist teachings can transform daily life. In brief essays and personal anecdotes, she invites readers to cultivate mindfulness and loving-kindness to live with greater connection, empathy, and openness toward oneself and others.
Revised edition, subtitled «Stories on the Path of Lovingkindness», published in 1999.
For readers interested in Buddhism and meditation who seek practical teachings applicable to everyday life.
