Enlightenment in Everyday Life

“I love the modern world; We have so many opportunities to be generous and inspire each other..." In this simple and effective book, where ancient Buddhist teachings are adapted to today's world, there are various ways for us to find the generosity and source of inspiration within us. We are advised to make small touches to our daily lives so that we do not spend a whole life without even realizing the beauties that are laid out before us, and we are encouraged to make our lives more meaningful. “Slowing down helps us truly observe and understand the world.” The message of Drukpa is to take small steps to view the landscape of life with gratitude, and to increase our humility and compassion in our hearts to be fearless in difficult times. Stopping and calming down even for a short moment in the tiring pace of life will allow us to see more clearly what we want. “Take small steps and you will find the way to your heart.” There is no need to struggle endlessly for "success", which makes you feel frustrated expectations and disappointments rather than a feeling like freedom or happiness. There is no need to be “perfect” or put this burden on others. Realizing that we are good enough removes us from fear and allows us to get rid of the excesses in our lives. This is the best way to fill our hearts with happiness. “The path we have chosen is an unconventional journey that will last many lifetimes. Not many people have the opportunity to discover this difficult path that leads to ultimate happiness and freedom. "The things I say while walking together are here to accompany you." -Gyalwang Drukpa- “We live in such a busy world that it is very difficult for us to take time to look at our inner world, but we need to stop for a moment, calm down physically and mentally, and be more aware of the connection we have with the world around us. Drawing on the teachings of Buddhist philosophy, Enlightenment in Everyday Life offers you practical solutions to cope with the daily challenges of being human in modern society.” -Cameron Diaz- (From the Promotional Bulletin)
