"With her usual clarity and humor Venerable Thubten Chodron delivers a first rate exposition of the theory and practice of Action Tantra basing herself on the sadhana of the 1000 armed Chenrezig. Her clear and helpful explanation are certainly of great benefit for all of us on the Vajrayana path."--Ven. Tenzin Palmo, author of Reflections on a Mountain Lake
"Ven. Thubten Chodron is someone whose life embodies the virtues of kindness, simplicity and a clarity of vision, which lie at the heart of the Buddha's teaching. It is these perennial qualities that shine through her writings and touch the hearts of readers all over the world."-Thupten Jinpa, translator for H.H. the Dalai Lama
"In her latest Dharma offering, Thubten Chodron draws on a wealth of oral teachings and years of practice as she insightfully applies the profound methods of Vajrayana to everyday life. She skillfully shows how we can break through our ordinary perceptions of ourselves, other beings, and our environment through the cultivation of "pure appearances" and other tantric practices in ways that open the heart to empathy and compassion. This is a book to be cherished."--B. Alan Wallace, author of Genuine Happiness: Meditation as the Path to Fulfillment
"For serious practitioners who wish to engage in Chenrezig meditation, this book is an invaluable resource. By providing a sadhana recitation text with full instructions, clearly explained, particularly on how to incorporate the understanding of voidness into the practice of tantra, Ven. Thubten Chodron has made this precious meditation available to all who would seek an authentic tradition."--Alexander Berzin, author of Taking the Kalachakra Initiation and Relating to a Spiritual Teacher
"Another engaging offering from the kind, clear heart and mind of Thubten Chodron, author of Buddhism for Beginners, Open Heart, Clear Mind, and other practical explanations of Buddha's teachings. This book shows how to turn to Chenrezig--also known as Avalokiteshvara, Kuan Yin, or Kannon--for protection, friendship, and inspiration on a daily basis. You want to develop compassion and wisdom? Here's how."--Mandala Magazine
"Once again Ven. Thubten Chodron does what she has done so brilliantly before. She takes a lofty spiritual ideal--in this case the cultivation of universal compassion--and presents it in a clear, accessible manner that the reader finds both eminently practical and sublimely inspiring."--Johanthan Landaw, author of Images of Enlightenment
"Clearly written by an American-born Buddhist nun and the author of Buddhism for Beginners, this engaging book on the traditional 'Meditation on Thousand-Arm Chenrezig' is less a guide to practice than a full explication of it for a contemporary audience."--Library Journal
"Exceptional!"--Today's Books

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Chenrezig (Avalokiteshvara / Kuan Yin) is not only Tibet's patron deity, he also is the embodiment of the compassion of all the Buddhas and as such is deemed the best possible contemplative gateway to the cultivation of compassion.In this book, which has received high praise from monastics and lay Buddhist scholars alike, the American-born nun Ven. Thubten Chodron lucidly and engagingly elucidates the Tibetan Buddhist yoga of Chenrezig. Her explanations are based not only on scriptural but also oral teachings, which makes them eminently authoritative and practical.Essentially, Cultivating a Compassionate Heart is a knowledgeable, highly practical, and fairly extensive commentary on the Chenrezig sadhana. The book starts with the Thousand-Armed Chenrezig visualization and the preliminary prayers found in most sadhanas and the long mantra of Chenrezig. Only then does the author proceed to explaining the various concepts that make up the theoretical underpinnings of this extraordinary practice. Perhaps the most widely known and loved deity throughout the Buddhist world, Chenrezig (Avalokiteshvara) is the Buddha of Compassion. The meditation practice in this book is presented as a useful manual for ease of practice. It contains instructions in the form of a commentary and tips on making the practice more relevant to daily life.
