A Book on the Dharma Life.
'. . . our instinct for freedom: the natural urge of the heart to know itself and seek its liberation from all obstacles, real or imaged.'
This book gives voice to an essential spirituality that transcends race and nationality - a spirituality based on one precious human value: freedom.
For Alan Clements, one of the first Westerners to train as a Buddhist monk in Burma, freedom is rooted in real life experience, in holding life's complexities in balance and with its wondrous gifts, and in the transformational power of relationships with other people and with the world.
Clements's approach is not a doctrine. No amount of spiritual practice or meditative training can adequately prepare us for life, he says. We must find our liberation through living, in this moment, now, in whatever circumstances we face.
