A single straw is but a fragile thing, however, a bundle of straws is like steel.  So too this book bundle where a profound change has occurred where as always in Mahayana Tibetan Buddhism first you must make yourself well before you can help others through your practice of Tonglen Meditation.  But today, now, that means projecting love and compassion towards that which you fear in the way of what Ruth King describes as ignited by, The Glance of Mercy.

Now includes haiku. 

The book opens with Socratic like dialogues providing break through insights through incorporations of the latest  teachings of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, Buddhist scholar Robert Thurman, Thích Nhất Hạnh, the lamas and rinpoches of the PTC (KTC) monastery, participants in BuddhaFest including Ruth King, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, Lama Tsultrim Allione, and Craig Hamilton.
