Review: The Heart’s Awakening: 108 Steps to a Life of Love by Bodhipaksa

By Luke Penkett on Wed, 5 Nov, 2025 - 09:44

To assist us as we journey through The Heart’s Awakening we have four places of rest, four opportunities to take a step back and reflect, in turn, on kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity. To help us reflect, Bodhipaksa – founder of Wildmind (an online meditation resource), publisher of guided meditations, and provider of online instruction – provides us with 108 points to ponder – the same number of beads as on a mala – 27 for each place of reflection, and...

With The Complete Works of Sangharakshita being rounded off with the publication of its Concordance at the end of 2024, Vishvapani’s
Reimagining Buddhism seems like the icing on the cake. It is a beautiful book, meticulously researched, and sensitively written for both those who knew Sangharakshita well and others who have only recently come across his name, or have yet to discover the joys of Triratna.

Vishvapani (Blomfield) is the editor of Challenging Times: Stories of Buddhist Practice When Things...
