The Heart Is Noble: Changing the World from the Inside Out

“The Heart Is Noble is the ultimate text for social transformation in our times. Here’s a spiritual leader talking about how the current food system creates hunger, how our view of the earth as dead matter creates the ecological crisis, and how the idea of gender identities and other cultural identities being fixed is at the root of so much violence.”

“The teachings in this book are tools for clearing away everything that keeps us from recognizing and connecting with our own noble heart, and for opening that heart to others in the most radical way. I am most grateful to His Holiness the Karmapa for offering these transformative teachings, and I recommend this book to everyone who wants to change the world, beginning with themselves.”

“In The Heart Is Noble the Seventeenth Karmapa shares his deep wisdom and compassion as a lens on topics ranging from global hunger to healthy relationships and to the meaning of life. His message shows how we can each be heroes in daily life in ways large and small, and that bringing a noble heart to whatever we encounter enriches everyone.”
