The Buddha taught the practices of loving kindness, compassion, empathetic joy, and equanimity. These guide us in cultivating positive emotions and minimising harmful ones. Poet, writer, activist, mentor, and Buddhist teacher River Wolton gives new life to these teachings as resources for a life in which compassion for self and others are mutually sustaining. Beautifully illustrated and with exercises, meditations, and reflections

About the Authors

River Wolton trained as a social worker and psychotherapist. She has offered writing workshops in schools, therapeutic and community arts groups, and is a Buddhist teacher, and LGBTQI+ and peace activist. She co-founded Sheffield Insight Meditation, and teaches at Gaia House, UK. She lives in the Peak District, with her partner. She was the Poet Laureate for Derbyshire and has published three volumes of poetry.

Emma Burleigh is an artist, illustrator, comics creator and teacher. She is the author of two art course books, ‘Soul Colour’ and ‘Earth Colour’, which are designed to nurture mindfulness, creativity and nature connectedness.

After experiencing burnout as an activist and school-teacher in her twenties, Emma ended up at Gaia House where she fell in love with the potential of dharma practice to transform her world at both the personal and collective level.

Emma first met River Wolton through a friend at Gaia House, and soon after that they decided to work together, exploring ways of combining River's words with Emma's images. This book is their third collaboration.

A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we?re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.
