Critics Review
“This book had a profound effect on my thinking. May you fare as well.”
“The Passionate Buddha is a wonderful book on the proper handling of the magnetics of the heart–its irrepressible attraction as well as its unremitting opposition. It is about the great work that only the heart is great enough to handle. Robert has written an anniversary gift to last a lifetime or three.” * Stephen Levine, author of Embracing the Beloved and A Year to Live: How to Live This Year as if It W *
“The Passionate Buddha is a must for anyone seeking to practice the profound path of intimate relationship, as it contains meditations and practical tools for joining deep awareness with passionate intensity.” * Tsultrim Allione, author of Women of Wisdom and founder of Tara Mandala Retreat Center *
“Robert Sachs is himself a passionate Buddha, as well as a longtime Buddhist practitioner, husband and father, healer and teacher. I find a lot here in this book that helps us to further sacred relationships by learning to open the spiritual heart, deal with anger and inner conflict, love and accept ourselves and others, and live a more enlightened life.
Wisdom and love are the essence of spirit and represent the innate qualities of awakened mind and heart; practices of meditation and self-inquiry such as those found here are the tools to unfold the marvelous natural resources within us. I heartily recommend The Passionate Buddha to all on the spiritual path.” * Surya Das, author of Awakening the Buddha Within and founder of Dzogchen Foundation *
