Inhaltsangabe:

Based on his 55 years of daily Buddhist practice, Mike Lisagor reveals how Buddhism - which offers teachings of personal and social transformation - has helped him deal with his wife's serious illness, his own childhood trauma, and the death of his sister. Here too is hard-won wisdom on relationships, with powerful insights on marriage and parenting. Great for Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike.
This new edition was updated in October 2024 and includes an overview of SGI Nichiren Buddhism, a glossary of Buddhist terms, and a reader's guide. A free Flipbook version of this book and Mike's three other buddhist-themed books can be found at BooksByMike.org.
Mike lives with his wife of 55 years and his harmonica on an island in the Pacific Northwest. A YouTube video of his 45 minute one-man show can be viewed at www.romancingthebuddha.com.
"Seamlessly weaving familiar bumps in the marital road -- child rearing, the work world -- with uphill climbs -- his depressions, her multiple sclerosis -- demystified what may still seem to some like an exotic practice." - Dee Axelrod, Bainbridge Island Review."
A wise and moving account of the author's adventuresome journey toward spiritual enlightenment and social awareness. It helps us understand the intimate connection between resolving conflicts in one's personal life and working effectively for peace on a global scale." - Richard E. Rubenstein, Ph.D., author When Jesus Became God and Aristole's Children.
