About the Book
Deepening Wisdom, Deepening Connection is part of the Ancient Wisdom for Our Times Series, by meditation teacher and Namchak co-founder Lama Tsomo. Designed to bring Buddhist teachings, concepts, and ideas together in an accessible and engaging way, this book equips you with tangible practices for becoming more peaceful, compassionate, and a kind human being.
Book 3 of the series, Deepening Wisdom, Deepening Connection, unpacks Buddhist concepts including the Four Boundless Qualities or Immeasurables, and shares time-tested meditation practices for increasing these innate capacities.
Readers will learn about “near enemies,” such as pity, sentimentality, and indifference, all of which can seem similar but can hinder us from experiencing the true qualities of compassion, loving kindness, sympathetic joy, and equanimity. The true Four Immeasurables are avenues to feeling deep and vast connection with all. The deep and satisfying connection that you can feel from these practices can act as an antidote for loneliness, disease, and anxiety.
Deepening Wisdom, Deepening Connection can help widen your lens of the human experience, while sharing wisdom from one of the oldest lineages of Tibetan Buddhism. The practice methods presented are incredibly effective at helping us clear our lens to see the human experience more deeply and fully.
