The gentle and encouraging approach of experienced Buddhist practitioner and meditation teacher, Vessantara, can help us discover the wonder of what is already in our hearts and help us get greater enjoyment from life. Suitable for those new to meditation and those more experienced.

The Heart will help you go deeper into the mystery of the human heart and find your own answers.
