    About this ebook

    Using the garden as a metaphor, The Seeds of Love is a charming guide to creating your own mindfulness.

    The development of the practice of mindfulness and its tools can help to maintain a state of awareness and openness to oneself and others. In The Seeds of Love, readers interested in Zen Buddhism will learn how to nurture metaphorical seeds such as compassion, joy, and generosity, and how to use personal challenges such as jealousy, anger, and self-doubt as a tool for growth.

    The 20 chapters include:

  • Seeing: It All Begins with the Gardener
  • Being: Watering the Seed of Mindfulness
  • Watering Seeds of Love and Transforming Seeds of Suffering
  • Deep-Listening
  • Creating a Legacy as a Master Gardener: Tending Your Inner Garden

    Using precepts from many faiths and traditions, The Seeds of Love offers simple, basic actions to help readers reach the best within themselves and share it with those around them. It will be an invaluable guide to anyone seeking deeper and more conscious relationships.
