Resumen del Editor

Caring is something we and our world urgently need. We know real caring when we experience it, but our way of life - or perhaps our way of relating to our minds - seems to leave us feeling profoundly uncared for.

Lacking care ourselves, we begin to lose our ability to care for others. In Caring, Tibetan lama Tarthang Tulku embarks on a wide-ranging exploration of the deep importance of learning to care. Drawing on his Buddhist background as well as 50 years spent working closely with students from around the world, he shows us how caring can bring us face-to-face with human nature’s deepest mysteries and its highest potentials.

In reflections that range from the simple heartfelt to the challenging and profound, Caring shows us how caring can ease our hearts, strengthen our spirits, and transform our sense of what is possible.

5 stars from Harvard lecturer on meditation, Buddhism, and contemplative traditions

This book _Caring_ is more valuable, applicable, & profound than the vast majority of books currently in circulation about compassion, the workings of mind, meditation and Buddhism. It gives effective, everyday approaches for improving our lives while also pointing to the freedom and depth of our Being that are beyond particular methods and conceptual frameworks. This is a good introduction to the many other books by this author that take the topics here even further—books such as Revelations of Mind, Gesture of Great Love, and Dimensions of Mind (all from Dharma Publishing).
For 35 years I have studied and practiced in Buddhist traditions including having undertaken long meditative retreats, and have taught university courses on Buddhism at Harvard University from 2017 to the present (2023). From those standpoints, I recommend most highly this book and others by the same author. The clear and transformative insights conveyed here are not easily found in other books published in English to date. Plus, the valuable insights in _Caring_ are communicated in a remarkably understandable way, in an unusually accessible manner that characterizes this book and the others named above. Listen to or read _Caring_ twice, and judge for yourself. Also, be sure to tune into the final one-third of the book since the profundity of the discussion increases greatly in that final portion. —Dr. Elon Goldstein, Lecturer in Buddhist Studies at Harvard Divinity School
