Listen now
Description
Today we have a wonderful and insightful conversation with River Wolton, a poet, writer, activist, Buddhist teacher and author of her new book titled The Subtle Art of Caring. We talk about her life and practice and the Buddha’s teachings of the Brahma Viharas or divine abodes. In this book, River looks again at these ancient teachings as a resource for sustaining compassion through moments of pausing, befriending, enjoying, caring and letting be.  As Dene Donalds, Dharma teacher in the lineage of Thich Nhat Hanh and founding member of The Colours of Compassion Sangha says: 'If you wish to explore how to take Buddhism off the meditation cushion and into the world, read this book.'    Links:  Order The Subtle Art of Caring online, from your nearest independent bookshop or:  Buy The Subtle Art of Caring (Europe) Buy The Subtle Art of Caring (US & Canada)   Find out more about River Wolton and the book.
