|  | Boundless Heart by B. Alan Wallace, Zara Houshmand
A powerful combination of teachings on the Four Immeasurables and instruction on quiescence (or shamatha) meditation practices, presented in Wallace`s own unique style -- a blend of vivid storytelling and incisive analysis. The teachings on the Four Immeasurables are based on Buddhaghosa`s Path of Purification and address the rich suite of practices that open the heart, counter the distortions in our relationship to ourselves, and deepen our relationship to others. To these foundation practices of Theravada Buddhism, Wallace brings the insights and approaches of the Tibetan tradition regarding shamatha meditation techniques and the integration of the practice into daily life. The book includes both guided meditations and a transcript of lively discussions among students with the implications of these grappling teachings for their own lives. AUTHOR: B. Alan Wallace, Zara Houshmand
