Product Description
The Dalai Lama often says, Kindness is society. His former translator, Jeffrey Hopkins, writes that by learning to live from a more compassionate viewpoint, we can create a better life not only for ourselves but for everyone. In A Truthful Heart, Hopkins uses Buddhist meditations (including the Dalai Lama's favorite), visualizations, and entertaining recollections from his personal journey to guide us in developing an awareness of the capacity for love inside us and learning to project that love into the world around us. Delivering a potent message with the power to change our relationships and improve the quality of our lives, A Truthful Heart is the ideal book for an age in which our dealings with each other seem increasingly impersonal--and even violent and aggressive. Anyone seeking release from anger and hurt, or simply wanting to increase the love and caring among us, will welcome this timely vision for humanity.

A truly wonderful book and guide June 21, 2008
This book brings much light into developing compassion with many very practical hints. The language Mr. Hopkins is using, is very much down-to-earth.
The guided meditations he is giving in this book are simple yet profound.
I recommend the book to everyone who is no longer satisfied with the abstract idea "may everyone be happy" and truly wants to develop a heartfelt and intimate compassion for sentient beings.
Thank you Mr. Hopkins!
Vivid testimony, reliable guidance March 5, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
The Midwest Book Reviewer summed it up well. It is in part a vivid memoir of the author's transformation from the self-confinement of hostility to the open-heart of love. At the same, it is a systematic and authoritative guide to bringing that same change into our own lives. Highly recommended. If you have found some of Hopkins's other works tough going, don't worry: this one is a great read for all.
A welcome resource not only for Buddhist practitioners and those curious about the faith March 4, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Written by Jeffrey Hopkins, who served as the interpreter for the Dalai Lama for a decade, and featuring a foreword by the Dalai Lama himself, A Truthful Heart: Buddhist Practices for Connecting with Others is a guide to developing a more compassionate outlook, and therefore improve one's ability to project love and accomplish positive endeavors. Chapters guide the reader in using Buddhist meditations (including the Dalai Lama's favorite!) and visualizations, as well as offering vignettes from the author's own life. A welcome resource not only for Buddhist practitioners and those curious about the faith, but also for any reader regardless of religion seeking surcease from anger and pain, and desiring an increase of love and compassion within the world at large.
