The Gift of Work (Skillful Means)
Description
In The Gift of Work, Tibetan master Tarthang Tulku offers a vision of work as a genuine and fulfilling spiritual path, one that can be walked by anyone and integrated deeply into daily life. Introducing this approach (which Tarthang Tulku calls Skillful Means), the text is filled with practical methods for developing awareness, opening to change, and sharing our life and insights with others. Twenty-four exercises help us see the attitudes we bring to work and encourage appreciation, concentration, and whole-hearted engagement.
