About this audiobook
Why is it sometimes so difficult to be generous? Is human consciousness the one thing in the universe that can be transformed from "something" into "nothing"? One of the most respected teachers of our time, Robert Thurman, takes ancient Buddhist wisdom and translates it into answers that make sense here and now.
