Signed and inscribed by the author with blue pen on the half title page. "The Heart of the Revolution is refreshing, relevant and to the point. A great manual for developing love and compassion in these difficult times." - Martine Batchelor, author of Let Go and The Spirit of the Buddha. "Noah Levine has become the voice of the next generation of American Buddhism. In The Heart of the Revolution, he invites us on a journey to discover the loving heart. Despite being an acclaimed Buddhist teacher, Levine doubted whether he could ever release the anger deep within. After many years he 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. Levine now reveals the tools that helped him embrace his true Buddha nature. The practices he describes in this book are not a quick fix bu 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." - from the inner front French-style extended front cover flap. "Noah Levine is in the force among Young Buddhas of America, a rebel with both a good cause and the noble heart, and spiritual awareness to prove it. He is among the most dynamic and effective of the new generation of Dharma teachers. I highly recommend this book to those who want to join us on this joyful path of mindfulness and awakening." - Lam Burya Das, author of Awakening the Buddha Within. "You can feel it in the very sentences -- Levine's earnest drive to share what he's learned, to bring us along into the open heart of revolution. This is a terrific new take on the old teachings - and I believe him. I want to join." - Natalie Goldberg, author of Writing Down the Bones. "A passionate and timely appeal to overcome self-centeredness through love and compassion, combined with eminently practical meditations to help you do so." - Stephen Batchelor, author of Confession of a Buddhist Atheist.
