“…when you have great joy, you will become Buddhas.” Lotus Sutra, Chapter II
Digital Version Now Available – Print Coming Soon
Unlike the essays found in Lotus Path, these are generally 1000 plus words with many several thousand.The subject matter is wide ranging, covering subjects from a Buddhist perspective. It is my belief that there is nothing in life that we are unable to find Buddhism and apply our Buddhist teachings. In my writings and speeches I strive to give encouragement in one’s practice of Buddhism in daily life. I do not think that the doctrines of Buddhism lie outside of our everyday experiences.I hope you will find these writings to be of value as you live your Buddhist life.
