The best-selling author of The Healing Power of Mind presents Tibetan Buddhist instructions for transforming negative thoughts and feelings into loving-kindness toward all beings. Tulku Thondup instructs that by bringing to mind images and thoughts of Avalokitesvara, the Buddhist deity of loving-kindness, we can connect from the heart with the Buddha's example. According to Tulku Thondup, when we awaken loving-kindness through this practice, our outlook on life fundamentally changes and we ourselves can become a source of joy and inspiration to others.
On the first CD, Tulku Thondup describes the benefits of loving-kindness and offers guidance on how to practice the meditations. On the second and third CDs, he leads guided meditations for invoking and sharing the blessings of the Buddha of Loving-Kindness. In the book, Tulku Thondup offers teachings on the Buddhist view of loving-kindness and philosophy behind Tibetan Buddhist visualization and prayer practices. The package also includes a full-color illustration of Avalokitesvara, the Buddha of Loving-Kindness, for help with the visualization.
3 CDs, 3 hours.

I only speak for myself, but listening to these cds has sincerely made me much nicer to be around. Kinder, wiser, and happier. The teachers kindness comes through very clearly and I find these cds very pleasant to listen to.
I would deeply recomend these cds to anyone. Not for the thing itself, but, to see; like it "says on the can" - "the healing power of loving kindness". I found it extremely helpful, and I am very grateful for this release. :-)

exceptional contribution to loving-kindness teachings
1 May 2009
Format:Paperback
For serious practitioners of Buddhist meditation who are interested in loving-kindness, this book and set of three CDs offers an exceptional and (perhaps) unique contribution to loving-kindness teachings. To begin with, Tulku Thondup is the genuine article. He was raised and educated in a monastery in East Tibet until he fled to India in 1958, eventually coming to the West in 1980 as a visiting scholar at Harvard, and then continuing to live in Cambridge, MA. Tulku Thondup is wise, humble, and articulate, combing deep practice with an intellectual and practical understanding of traditional Tibetan Buddhist teachings. The gem of this book/CDs are the 2nd and 3rd CD disks which, taken together, are a two-hour guided meditation on loving-kindness that provides the listener with a rich and transforming journey. I have practiced and taught meditation, mostly in the Insight Meditation tradition, for the past 25 years. I know of no better guide to loving-kindness practice than this. But, one must be prepared to spend an hour or so at a stretch for purposes of the guided meditation practice.

Clear, Instructive and Inspiring
27 Nov 2009
Format:Paperback
This book and set of three CDs provides step-by-step instruction in the practice of Loving-Kindness, as well as guided meditation and visualization. I find listening to the CDs especially beneficial. Tulku Thondup's gentle voice guides you throughout, making it easy to relax into a deeper experience of Loving-Kindness. This is a valuable assist for anyone, whether they are experienced with meditation or not. It provides much more than just information--it's a wonderful tool for maintaining a more compassionate orientation in life.

The Healing Power of Loving-Kindness
28 Oct 2009
Format:Paperback
THE HEALING POWER of LOVING-KINDNESS offered by Tulku Thondup is a wonderfully generous gift for Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike. I found the book and the set of three CDs instructive and inspiring. The availability of visual and auditory guidance helped me orient my body and mind to receive the instruction in preparation for a deep, extended meditation experience. The first CD gives pertinent step-by-step instruction. Tulku Thondup's gentle voice of wisdom explains the meaning of the Buddha of Loving-Kindness and the necessary meditative tools. The second CD provides the opportunity to align posture, breath, and conceptual mind before visualizing and evoking the tangible blessings of Loving-Kindness. The third CD offers a series of visualizations and mantra that stimulate one's own devotion and activates a genuine desire for personal and global peace and happiness. In a world full of turmoil and stress, I feel so fortunate for this sublime help offered by an authentic and esteemed Buddhist teacher.
