Editorial Reviews
Ingram An introduction to Buddhism for those looking for daily encounters with spirituality, "Lessons Of The
Lotus" combines the simplicity of Thich Nhat Hahn with the wisdom and humor of Jack Kornfield. Through chapters on karma, transitory death, giving, and relationships, among others, Bhante Wimala introduces readers to the practicality and beauty of Buddhism, infusing each topic with his humor and strikingly resonant message of peace.
Book Description A guide for people who are searching for spirituality, Lessons of the Lotus helps readers find their
individual paths by exploring the nature of spirituality with ways of making it relevant to their daily lives.
These ways include specific meditations, mind-body techniques, visualizations, and reflections. Beyond a rich resource of spiritual practice, this book helps people bring the fruits of their spiritual growth to their relationships, careers, and other aspects of living. Through numerous examples,
readers see how the insight, patience, love, understanding, and peace of their practice can touch their daily lives and transform them forever. Each chapter includes a section called "Ask Yourself" that is designed to stimulate reflection on the topic and invite the reader to participate actively in defining their spirituality. Specific chapters cover topics such as karma, transitory death, giving, and relationships with family and loved ones.
REVIEWS:
Excellent book, June 19, 2001 Reviewer: celeste wills from Union City, NJ United States I bought this book to understand Buddhism and found instead a spiritual journey filled with discovery and recognition. I highly recomend this book to anyone seeking inner happiness and peace.
Superb - This book really is compelling reading, July 7, 1998 Reviewer: Sharon showling@planetweb.co.uk from United Kingdom
I am not a religious person at all and you don't need to be to appreciate this book. It has been written in a very graceful way that leads you through the book to experience emotions you never knew you could. This book is outstanding and should be read by everyone, the enlightenment the author shares is intense and his adaptation of age old principles into human life today is a gift. Although it would usually
be a great pleasure for me to meet an author I do not need to in this case, he has shared so much in the book I feel I know him well. Reading this has been like sitting discussing the ways of the world with a close friend and a really nice experience for me.
Read this book, April 7, 1998 Reviewer: A reader from San Francisco I have known Bhante Wimala for 10 years and he is one of the few spiritual teachers who lives what
he teaches. A kind and gentle soul who cares deeply about the whole human race - his extended family. This book is simple yet profoundly deep and is sure to bring a few smiles to your face.
