Award-winning author Lama Tsomo offers insights and practices to enhance our relationships, foster mindfulness, and deepen self-understanding. In a world increasingly marked by isolation, she presents a new addition to her Ancient Wisdom for Our Times series, building on previous works to actively engage readers and expand their understanding in key areas. The Four Boundless Qualities—Loving Kindness, Compassion, Sympathetic Joy, and Equanimity—are practical capacities we can cultivate for the benefit of ourselves and others. Lama Tsomo teaches us how to embrace these qualities in everyday life. Forgiveness is highlighted as essential for inner well-being; to move forward and connect with others, we must learn to forgive, as holding onto resentment is detrimental. Lama Tsomo also delves into the Buddhist concept of “near enemies,” helping us recognize when we mistake shortcomings for virtues. Her guidance on Vipassana (Sublime Insight) reveals ways to perceive reality in both its complexity and simplicity, offering a fresh perspective on ourselves and the world. Written with clarity and humor, this work synthesizes decades of practice and scholarly inquiry, featuring real-world examples, illustrations, practice cards, and online resources. It serves as a genuine guide to compassionate awareness, addressing the challenges of a disconnected world.
