the book by John Makransky

In Awakening Through Love: Unveiling Your Deepest Goodness, John Makransky adapts Tibetan meditation practices using plain, practical instructions that help us to unleash a deeply wise, enduring power of love and compassion for every part of our lives: relationships, work, service, and social action.

 

John Makransky is a professor of Buddhism and Comparative Theology at Boston College and a lama in the natural ease tradition of Tibetan Buddhism (dzogchen). John has practiced meditations of compassion and wisdom from Tibetan traditions for over thirty years and has pioneered new ways of bringing them into the secular world of social service and social justice by making them newly accessible to people of all backgrounds and faiths. He has also helped thousands of Western Buddhists deepen their contemplative experience of presence and loving compassion.
