Stephen Mugen Snyder (Sensei) began practicing daily meditation in 1976. Since then, he has studied Buddhism extensively—investigating and engaging in Zen, Tibetan, Theravada, and Western nondual traditions. Stephen was authorized to teach in 2007 by the Venerable Pa Auk Sayadaw, a Burmese meditation master and renowned scholar. In 2009, he coauthored Practicing the Jhānas, exploring concentration meditation as presented by Pa Auk Sayadaw.
Stephen's resonant and warmhearted teaching style engages students around the globe through in-person and online retreats, as well as one-on-one coaching. He encourages students to turn toward awakened awareness and, through this realizing, embody their true identity. Stephen is also author of Stress Reduction for Lawyers, Law Students, and Legal Professionals and Buddha's Heart. For more information, please visit awakeningdharma.org.
An inspiring and healing guide to immersive meditation in the ancient Buddhist heart practices—the brahmavihāras.
"A profound integration of clarity, heart, and grounded practice."
—Rick Hanson, PhD, psychologist and NYT bestselling author of Buddha's Brain
With Buddha's Heart, senior meditation teacher Stephen Snyder reveals an original and clear path to the powerful brahmavihāras. These practices offer rich, soothing support for the soul and a portal to spiritual awakening and deepening self-realization.
Informed by Snyder's experiential understanding, and suitable for those at any level of meditation practice, Buddha's Heart leads us step-by-step through
--traditional teachings on wholesomeness and concentration meditations to establish a supportive bedrock for our personal discovery;
--guided, heart-opening meditations on loving-kindness, compassion, empathetic joy, and equanimity;
--further guided practices for deepening awareness, including gratitude, forgiveness, and
--opening to the Oneness of Reality;
--exploratory exercises for each meditation practice, illuminating the psychological blocks to accessing our deeper nature's heart qualities; and
--embracing mindfulness and warm attunement in everyday life—opening our hearts to the profound depths of reality and the Absolute.
Buddha's Heart teaches what seems counterintuitive but is undeniably true: the more we open our hearts, the more resilient and flexible we are. And the more authentically vulnerable we are, the safer and more protected we become.
"Stephen's original framing of classical Theravada teachings will inspire practitioners to explore unfathomed depths of their own tender hearts."
—Karin Meyers, PhD, Academic Director, Mangalam Research Center for Buddhist Languages
"A deep dive into the heart of who we truly are."
—Loch Kelly, meditation teacher, psychotherapist, and author of The Way of Effortless Mindfulness
"Buddha's Heart speaks to meditators at all levels with a grace, eloquence, and thoroughness seldom found."
—Susie Harrington, meditation teacher, Desert Dharma
